"Kate does keep a watchful eye on the children as they exit the car," she added.
"We see Charlotte move back to let George take the lead. Camilla goes way ahead as they enter almost as if she’s on her own.
"They (Charlotte and George) do show maturity but not a heavy weight on them. They look like they are well prepared but not scared of their roles today.”
As they exited the car, a nervous-looking Princess Charlotte was comforted by her mother as she entered the church.
The Princess of Wales could be seen placing a tender hand on her daughter's shoulder as Charlotte nervously flipped her hair.
As the young royals walked behind their great grandmother’s coffin, Charlotte held her hands clasped in front of her while George had his arms by his side.
