Royal fans spot Princess Anne's moment of concern for brother Charles as he sheds tears during Queen's procession

Royal fans watching the Queen's televised state funeral have spotted the moment Princess Anne looked on in concern for her brother. Twelve days after the nation’s longest-reigning monarch died, the last steps of her journey towards her final resting place began in New Palace Yard with a procession to Westminster Abbey.

King Charles III stood in line with his siblings the Princess Royal, Duke of York and Earl of Wessex, behind the State Gun Carriage of the Royal Navy, for a moment of silence before the journey on-foot toe the service at the historic location began. The Prince of Wales, Duke of Sussex and Peter Phillips all followed behind the coffin, for the short walk to the Abbey.

While the King and most other royals wore military uniform, Andrew and Harry sported suits in line with the fact neither are any longer working royals. The Queen’s closest family all looked sombre as they followed the 123-year-old carriage ahead of the state funeral.
