Although the world’s eyes were
on the royal family, royal watchers were delighted to see Charlotte, seven,
share a sweet moment with her uncle, Prince Harry.
Princess Charlotte was sat
between the Duke of Sussex and her mother, Kate, on the front bench on one side
of St George’s Chapel for the committal service in Windsor. Next to Princess
Kate was Prince George, followed by his father William.Keen observers
noticed that Prince Harry and Charlotte shared a heartwarming moment during the
service. When Princess Charlotte was seen adjusting her hat before looking over
at her uncle, Harry briefly looked up and caught her eye and smiled at his niece.
Charlotte and her brother,
Prince George, nine, remained impeccably behaved through a long and solemn day
as they bid farewell to their beloved “Gan Gan”.
The royal siblings,
great-grandchildren of the Queen, were among 2,000 guests at her state funeral
and were the youngest members of the royal family to follow the Queen’s coffin
through Westminster Abbey.
As the young royals followed
their great-grandmother’s coffin, flanked by their parents, Charlotte held her
hands clasped in front of her, while George had his arms by his side.
At the committal service in
Windsor, TV cameras gave only a few glances of the siblings, who remained
well-behaved despite their young age.
Charlotte was seen exchanging
a few words with the Dean of Windsor as the family left the chapel and was
ushered to a waiting car. Her younger brother, Prince Louis, was not in
attendance.
