The mum-of-one was joined by
her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, who was pictured seating in the back
seat of their royal car, whilst Beatrice sat in the passenger seat.
Beatrice’s sister, Princess
Eugenie was also in attendance, along with her husband Jack Brooksbank.
Her father Prince Andrew and
cousin Zara Tindall were also present at the Palace alongside the Earl and
Countess of Wessex and Zara’s husband Mike Tindall, who were all dressed in
black to greet the coffin, six days ahead of the late monarch’s funeral.
The Queen arrived back in
London on Tuesday following a journey from Scotland, where the coffin lay at
rest at St Giles’ Cathedral for the public to pay their respects.

The coffin then journeyed to
RAF Northolt before arriving at the Palace, accompanied by Princess
Anne.
The Queen will spend Tuesday
night in the Bow Room, where she once hosted dinners for foreign royals and
dignitaries, including King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and former US president
George Bush.
On Wednesday, a procession
will take place to move the coffin to Westminster Hall, where the late monarch
will lie in state for four days.
