The
young royal was standing in Wellington Arch alongside her mother,
the Princess of Wales, and her brother, Prince George when she was
snapped holding her hands up towards her eyes.
However,
a sequence of photos taken after the ceremony suggests that the princess
was not crying after all and may have been wiping something from her eyes or
perhaps shielding them from the sun, which can be seen reflecting off her
back.
In
fact, in video footage taken at Wellington Arch, seven-year-old Charlotte
appears very brave and even passes on some wisdom to her older brother, George,
telling him to bow as their great-grandmother’s coffin passed them.
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.

Princess Charlotte bravely stood alongside her mother and brother
The
two Cambridge children joined their mother and father in the procession for the
funeral at Westminster Abbey. The siblings walked side-by-side in between their
parents at the beginning of the service in a last-minute change. The pair were
initially scheduled to follow behind their parents, ahead of their uncle and
aunt the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Their
younger brother, Prince Louis, was not involved in the historic ceremony,
however, and is likely to be considered too young to attend.

The young princess appeared tired
When
asked how her children were coping after losing their great-grandmother while
appearing in front of crowds at Sandringham, Princess Kate revealed last week
that “the children are doing well and they are being looked after at school.”
