The
pair were filmed exchanging words as they waited for the coffin to be placed
onto the royal hearse, where Charlotte can clearly be seen saying:
“You need to bow” to George, who appears to be listening to his
sister intently.
The
second-in-line to the throne did indeed bow as the coffin passed the pair, and
viewers took to Twitter to praise the sweet exchange between the brother and
sister. One person wrote: “They can add levity to the most solemn of
moments. Her telling her older brother what to do, is just cute,” while
another person added: “I’m pleased they have each other to lean on
for support and will look back on this in future glad they took part in it
together.”

The pair attended the funeral with their parents
The
pair’s younger brother, five-year-old Prince Louis, did not attend their
great-grandmother’s funeral, as it is likely that he was considered too young
to attend the ceremony.
The
Princess of Wales opened up about how her children are coping with the Queen’s
death at a reception held for Commonwealth dignitaries ahead of the Queen’s
funeral.
Australia’s
Governor-General David John Hurley said: “The younger one is now asking
questions like, ‘Do you think we can still play these games when we go to
Balmoral,’ and things like that, because she’s not going to be there?”‘
Touching
on Prince George’s experience, Kate said that her eldest is “now sort of
realising how important his great-grandmother was and what is going on.”
