The Princess of Wales has described how her sons are dealing with the death of the Queen, their great-grandmother. Kate was speaking to the Australia's Governor-General David Hurley when she said her youngest son Louis, four, was asking questions ahead of the Queen's funeral on Monday.
The Princess was at a Commonwealth reception at Buckingham Palace on Saturday, MailOnline reports. Mr Hurley said Kate had explained how Prince George, nine, is 'sort of now realising how important his great-grandmother was and what is going on'.
But Mr Hurley recalled that Kate told him that Louis is wondering if the family's summertime visit to Balmoral Castle will still be as he remembers them.
'The younger one is now asking questions like, "do you think we can still play these games when we go to Balmoral" and things like that, because she's not going to be there?"' MailOnline quoted Mr Hurley as saying.
The Princess of Wales had last week said Prince George 'understands the loss' of his great-grandmother - while his younger siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis 'less so' while speaking to well-wishers
Prince George and Princess Charlotte will attend the Queen’s state funeral, the order of service has shown. The nine-year-old future king and his seven-year-old sister will gather with 2,000 people in Westminster Abbey to remember their late great-grandmother on Monday, as millions watch the televised service across the globe.
The young royals will walk through the gothic church with the royal family, in procession behind the Queen’s coffin as it is carried by the military bearer party. Their grandfather, the King with the Queen Consort will process immediately behind the coffin, followed by the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, then the Duke of York, followed by the Earl and Countess of Wessex, and then the Prince and Princess of Wales.
George and Charlotte, who called the Queen “Gan Gan”, will be together, behind their parents, walking side-by-side in formation, followed by their uncle and aunt the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and other members of the royal family.
The second and third in line to the throne are also expected to be at the committal service in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle afterwards. The prince and princess’ four-year-old brother Prince Louis is not set to be there.
