The eight-year-old walked out
of St. George’s Chapel whilst hopscotching after the royal family bid a final
farewell to Queen Elizabeth II.
Looking smart in a black dress
and a matching headband, Mia had joined her parents for the difficult day. The
youngster is the eldest child of the Queen’s granddaughter Zara, 41, and former
rugby player Mike, 43.
The couple are also parents to
daughter Lena, four, and son Lucas, one. Although Mia did not attend the
service at Westminster Abbey, she joined her cousins Savannah and Isla, the two
daughters of Peter Phillips, for the committal service.
Last week, Mia and her sister
Lena were present alongside other members of the royal family as the Queen’s
four children held a vigil for the late monarch.

Although it was expected that
only the Queen’s children would be present, Zara and Mike brought along their
young daughters. The young girls were dressed in black, including their
hairbands. Their son Lucas, remained at home, and it is likely because of his
young age, while the elder daughters might understand the proceedings a bit
more.
Mike has previously talked
about family gatherings with the royals and spoke about his first meeting with
the Queen on his podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby.
He told his co-host Alex
Payne: “I did get sweaty palms. I think anyone would. She’s such a legend
of a lady that I still get nervous now when I see her. I’m way more comfortable
now, but… it’s been a journey.”
