Mourners leave flowers at Windsor Castle in honor of Prince Philip
Fox News senior foreign affairs correspondent Greg Palkot provides details on funeral arrangements for the Duke of Edinburgh.
Prince Philip's funeral ended on Saturday afternoon at Windsor Castle with a poignant moment between brothers Harry and William caught on camera.
The brothers -- whose tension has been heavily reported in the last year following the Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan Markle's departure as senior members of the royal family last year -- were spotted exiting St.George's Chapel next to one another. This came nearly an hour after the siblings were separated during the royal family's procession into the chapel ahead of the funeral by their cousin, Peter Phillips.
Harry and William were also filmed walking next to William's wife, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, during their exit.

Despite the possible reconciliation, it was a somber afternoon for the British royal family, Britons and supporters around the world as the Duke of Edinburgh was laid to rest.
Queen Elizabeth II’s husband of 73 years, died on April 9. He was 99.
The ceremonial royal funeral was a slimmed-down send-off to Philip, the longest-serving royal consort in British history. The ceremony, code-named Operation Forth Bridge, was limited to 30 attendees, but it was one that the Duke of Edinburgh had much participation in planning prior to his passing.
The Queen was joined by the four children she shared with Prince Philip -- Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward -- as well as Charles's wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; Anne's husband Timothy Laurence and Edward's wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex.
Additionally, Philip’s grandchildren -- who include Zara Tindall, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Lady Louise and James, Viscount Severn -- also were in attendance.
Zara Tindall's husband, Mike Tindall; Princess Eugenie's husband, Jack Brooksbank, and Princess Beatrice's husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, were also in attendance.
