It is not clear if William and Kate will speak to mourners who have gathered at the gates.

They previously visited tributes at Windsor Castle joined by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.


It comes as...


The poignant visit comes after the couple appeared emotional at a service for the Queen yesterday.

William had stood side-by-side with his brother Harry as they followed the coffin to Westminster Hall in a haunting echo of their mother's funeral in 1997.

The Royal Family had united in grief as the Queen was left to lie in state in her final public duty.

King Charles had led the Queen's children and grandchildren from Buckingham Palace past thousands of mourners.

There were tears from some of the devastated family members as they joined in prayers for Her Majesty.

Princess Eugenie and her cousin Lady Louise were both pictured looking upset as the magnitude of the day sunk in.

Harry also wiped his face in a moment of raw emotion before he left hand-in-hand with his wife Meghan.

 and Kate remained close as songs chosen by the Queen echoed from the wooden beams in the room.

As the royals slowly filed out of the hall, William placed a rare, comforting arm on Kate.

The doors of Westminster Hall then opened at 5pm - with millions queuing for hours to pay tribute to Her Majesty's seven decades of service.

The late monarch's coffin, draped in the Royal Standard, will lie in state at Westminster Hall until 6.30am on Monday - the day of her funeral.
