And despite her tender age,
the seven-year-old displayed her observant nature and impeccable manners.
Following Queen Elizabeth
II’s poignant funeral service, the young royal joined her mother, the
Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Sussex, Queen Consort Camilla and her
great-aunt Sophie, Countess of Wessex.
The family waited as the
Queen’s coffin departed the gothic church and began the procession to
Wellington Arch, where the senior members of the royal family curtsied in
unison.

As Her Majesty’s coffin made
its way past them, little Charlotte glanced at Sophie before sweetly mimicking
her curtsy.
This isn’t the first time
Princess Charlotte was spotted emulating members of her family. And many royal
fans were quick to spot the endearing moment Charlotte copied her mother’s
signature hair flip.
Between the two funeral
services, photographers took a great image of Charlotte gently flicking her
blonde hair behind her ears, much in the same way Princess Kate does with her
luscious brunette tresses.
Princess Charlotte was
among 2,000 guests at the Queen’s moving state funeral. Members of
the royal family united in grief to pay their respects to the late monarch who
reigned for an impressive 70 years.
At the committal service at
Windsor Castle’s St. George’s Chapel in the afternoon, George and Charlotte
were joined by fellow royal children, Mia Tindall, daughter of Zara and
Mike Tindall, and Savannah and Isla Phillips, daughters of Peter
Phillips.
Following the service, an
intimate burial service took place at 7.30pm to allow members of the royal
family to mourn in private and say their final goodbyes. The Queen was
subsequently laid to rest in the King George VI memorial chapel in Windsor.
She will be poignantly
reunited with her late husband Prince Philip who will be moved from the Royal
Vault of St George’s Chapel to the King George VI Memorial Chapel.
