Prince George and Princess Charlotte will walk behind the Queen’s coffin during her state funeral before saying goodbye to their great-grandmother.
The future king, aged nine, and his sister, seven, will join the 2,000-strong congregation at Westminster Abbey for today’s 11am service and will attend the Committal Service at Windsor Castle later this afternoon.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are understood to have thought long and hard about taking their children to the ceremony and discussed it with both of them together before a decision was collectively made.
