Muhammad Khan, from Tower Hamlets in east London, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday. The Metropolitan Police said he was charged under the Public Order Act. The live video feed of Westminster Hall cut away when the incident occurred at around 22:00 BST.
Khan spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and that he was staying at a friend's address in Wood Green, north London, during the hearing. The judge granted him bail on condition he remained in an east London mental health hospital until his next appearance at the court on 18 October.

A man who appeared to grab the flag draped over the Queen's coffin did so because he did not believe she was dead and wanted to check for himself, a court has heard.
Prosecution lawyer Luke Staton, told the court Mr Khan had reached Westminster Hall when he was seen by officers to approach the coffin. "He stepped off the carpet in the direction of the catafalque, then grabbed hold of the Royal Standard flag draped over the coffin with both of his hands," Mr Staton said.
The coffin bearers at the Queen's funeral are from a unit of which the late monarch was Company Commander. Soldiers from the Queen's Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, were chosen to lift the coffin during the service at Westminster Abbey and Windsor Castle.

When it re-started, the Royal Standard flag draping the coffin appeared to have been moved. The man was reportedly 'taken to the floor' and removed from the hall as shocked bystanders watched on.
Queen Elizabeth II will be buried in the King George VI memorial chapel, in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
The Lord Chamberlain poignantly "broke" his Wand of Office over the coffin, and placed the pieces there. Finally, the coffin was lowered into the Royal Vault, as the Dean of Windsor read Psalm 103, including the emotional line, "Go forth upon thy journey from this world, O Christian soul."
On ceremonial occasions, the Lord Chamberlain carries a white staff and a gold key, the symbols of his office. Tradition dictates that the Lord Chamberlain breaks the white staff over the sovereign's grave – a symbolic gesture marking the death of the sovereign he serves.

Lead-lined coffins slow the body's decomposition by keeping moisture out of the casket. Lead does not decay and so remains airtight, preventing decomposition, but also any smells and gases from being released; not something you want if multiple Royals are sharing a vault or may be moved in the future.
Eight pallbearers are required to carry the coffin, rather than the usual six, as it weighs around a quarter of a tonne, or between 249-318kg.
