The Princess of Wales' used her appearance at the Queen's state funeral to pay a subtle tribute to her late grandmother-in-law. Catherine, who was given the title last held by her husband's mother Diana following King Charles' succession to the throne, attended Queen Elizabeth II's funeral on Monday (September 19).
Prince George and Princess Charlotte walked in between their parents behind the Queen’s coffin as part of a solemn procession through Westminster Abbey. Ahead of the service, Kate could be seen holding Charlotte’s hand, and giving her a reassuring touch on the shoulder.
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. It was announced before the Queen's funeral that the nine-year-old heir to the throne and his seven-year-old sister would gather with 2,000 people in Westminster Abbey, as millions watch the televised service across the globe.
