Princes William and Harry didn't line up shoulder to shoulder Saturday as they took their places for the procession that will follow Prince Philip's coffin to the church for his funeral.
William and Harry's cousin Peter Phillips stood between the princes as they prepared to escort the coffin to St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
The arrangement minimized the chances of any awkward moments between the brothers, who have faced strains in their relationship since Harry's decision to step away from royal duties last year.
William is second in line to the throne. Harry and his wife, Meghan, last month gave an interview to US television host Oprah Winfrey in which they said royal staffers were insensitive toward Meghan and that an unidentified member of the royal family made racist comments.&nbsp;

The milestone figure was reached the day after the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) warned the world was "approaching the highest rate of infection" so far. WHO chief warned on Friday that &lsquo;cases and deaths are continuing to increase at worrying rates&rsquo;, adding that the number of new cases per week has nearly doubled over the past two months. Last week an average of 12,000 deaths a day were reported around the world, according to news agency AFP. &nbsp;The US, India and Brazil, the countries with the most recorded infections have accounted for more than a million deaths between them, according to Johns Hopkins University.

China has operationalised its new biosecurity law to fortify the legal cover for the establishment and safe operation of more bio labs in the country. The move comes amidst questions whether the Covid-19 originated from such a laboratory in Wuhan.
The coronavirus emerged in China's central Wuhan city in December 2019.
Beijing has said that under the new Biosecurity Law, China will continue to build and approve more labs specialising in advanced pathogenic microbiology.
The US has alleged that the Covid-19 may have emanated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab, but China has strongly denied the charge.
A team of WHO experts, which probed the origin of the coronavirus, concluded last month that "all hypotheses" included the allegation that Covid-19 could have emanated from a bio lab "remained open".

Raul Castro said Friday he is resigning as head of Cuba's Communist Party, ending an era of formal leadership by he and his brother Fidel Castro that began with the 1959 revolution.
The 89-year-old Castro didn't say who he would endorse as his successor as first secretary of the Communist Party. His retirement means that for the first time in more than six decades Cubans won't have a Castro formally running the country.&nbsp;
conic leader Fidel Castro ruled Cuba since 1959 when he and his band of comrades led the revolution that drove dictator Fulgencio Batista from power.
Fidel handed over power to his younger brother Raul Castro in 2008 after falling ill. Raul succeeded him as head of the party in 2011. Fidel Castro died in 2016.

A new study published in the medical journal Lancet has found "consistent, strong evidence" that the novel coronavirus is predominantly transmitted through the air

A new study published in the medical journal Lancet has found "consistent, strong evidence" that the novel coronavirus&nbsp;is predominantly transmitted through the air. A team of 6 experts from UK, USA and Canada found that 'evidence supporting airborne transmission is overwhelming, and evidence supporting large droplet transmission is almost non-existent'. They urged the WHO and other public health agencies to change their description of Covid&nbsp;transmission 'so that the focus of mitigation is put on reducing airborne transmission'.
They said while hand washing is an important measure, it should be given less emphasis than measures such as wearing mask at all times, even when indoors, air ventilation, reducing crowding as they are more effect for curbing air borne transmission.&nbsp;

Pfizer&nbsp;CEO Albert Bourla said people will &ldquo;likely&rdquo; need a booster dose of a&nbsp;Covid-19&nbsp;vaccine within 12 months of getting fully vaccinated.

Initial data has shown that vaccines from Moderna&nbsp;and Pfizer&nbsp;retain most of their effectiveness for at least six months.&nbsp;Researchers still don&rsquo;t know how long protection against the virus lasts once someone has been fully vaccinated.

China should lift all birth restrictions to tackle the problems of an ageing population and plan ahead to compete economically with a demographically young India and an immigration-friendly US, a report by the central bank has said, Hindustan Times has reported.
China&rsquo;s birth rate has been falling for years. That&rsquo;s why the government eased the one-child policy, which was in place since the late 1970s, in 2016, allowing couples to have two children.
Primarily focused on how China should tackle the problem of its ageing population, the People&rsquo;s Bank of China report has compared the situation to India and the US, making the radical suggestion that the government allow three or more children per household.

The White House has announced the expulsion of 10 Russian diplomats amid the announcing tough new sanctions on Russia. The move comes in response to Russia's interference in last year's US Presidential elections, and cyber-security attacks on federal agencies in Washington.
These sanctions are being seen as retaliatory attacks on the Kremlin for last year's hack and according to the US govt, intend to send a clear retributive message to Russia to deter from any such attacks in the future.
In a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, Biden said the US would "act firmly" in defence of its national interests. Biden also proposed a meeting with Putin "in a third country" that could allow the leaders to find areas to work together.
