Prince George 'breaks tradition' with outfit for Queen's procession

Prince George and Princess Charlotte walked behind the Queen’s coffin during her state funeral.

The Monarch's great-grandchildren said goodbye to their great-grandmother at Westminster Abbey on Monday, September 19. Nine-year-old George and his sister, Charlotte, seven, formed part of the procession with the Royal Family, following the coffin as it entered the church.

George and Charlotte walked with their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, in a side-by-side in formation, followed by their uncle and aunt the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and other members of the royal family. Another 2,000 guests also joined including, US President Joe Biden, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Princess Charlotte was seen wearing a black coat and hat as she walked beside her brother.

In a break of tradition Prince George wore a navy suit, rather than an entirely black outfit at the service. He paired the suit with a black tie and a white shirt.

During the mourning period, both Prince Harry and Prince William have also been photographed wearing navy suits with a black tie. The two brothers stepped out in matching coloured suits to greet well-wishing members of the public at Windsor upon the passing of the Queen.
