Prince George and Princess Charlotte joined the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to attend their great-grandfather's memorial service. The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, died on 9 April last year at Windsor Castle.
Close family, friends, foreign royals and hundreds of charity workers gathered at Westminster Abbey for the service on Tuesday afternoon (29 March). Some 1,800 people packed the gothic church – in marked contrast to Philip’s funeral where only 30 were permitted to attend amid Covid restrictions.
Tuesday’s service is the Queen’s first major official engagement outside one of her homes for nearly six months, since she travelled to Cardiff to deliver a speech at the Welsh Senedd on October 14. Among those attending were Prince Andrew, who accompanied the Queen, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Countess of Wessex, the Princess Royal, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
