Kate's touching gesture to Prince George as he's put on world stage at Queen's funeral

The Princess of Wales showed how she was looking out for her two eldest children as they attended the funeral of their great-grandmother. Prince George and Princess Charlotte joined their parents Kate and William, the Prince of Wales, as Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest on Monday, September 19.

Royal fans were overcome with emotion as Prince George, nine, and his younger sister Princess Charlotte, seven, gathered with 2,000 people in Westminster Abbey to remember their late great-grandmother, who they affectionately called 'Gan Gan', as millions watch the televised service across the globe.

After arriving alongside their mother and Camilla, Queen Consort, George and Charlotte walked through the gothic church with the royal family, in procession behind the Queen’s coffin as it was carried by the military bearer party. Their grandfather, the King with the Queen Consort were 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.
