Speaking to Canadian Military
personnel, the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis
mentioned the past few months, telling them: “Going from that (the
Jubilee) to this in a few months is very strange.” The royal was also
heard discussing “lack of sleep” with troops.
Since news broke of the Queen’s
sad passing on Thursday 8 September, the senior royals have had outings almost
every day to thank well-wishers for their condolences and to pay their respects
to Her Majesty. It’s no wonder the Princess may be feeling tired under the
circumstances.
No doubt she will also be
comforting her husband who has lost his grandmother, as well as their children
who loved their great-grandmother the Queen deeply and may not fully understand
her passing.

The Prince and Princess of Wales
There are more tiring days
ahead for the royal couple, who will attend a state event on Sunday evening at
Buckingham Palace, hosted by King Charles III on the eve of the state funeral
of the late monarch.
Prince William also spoke to
military personnel who have been rehearsing this week at the visit to
Pirbright.
Talking with troops from
Australia, King Charles III’s son was heard saying the difference between the
celebrations in June and the funeral preparations show “the highs and lows
of it all”.
William also spoke of his late
grandmother and her funeral on Monday.
Greg Gifford, 31, said:
“One of the key things I took away from what he said was how the Queen
will definitely be looking down on the whole funeral service.
“He said she would be
interested in the detail of the soldiers, how the drill is carried out, its
precision, our dress, things like that.”
There were 64 members of the
Canadian Armed Forces and 28 members of the Australian Defence Force at the
centre, who are in the UK to take part in Monday’s procession alongside British
soldiers.
