Prince George and Princess Charlotte

The Prince and Princess of Wales, the children of Prince George and Princess Charlotte, are named after Queen Elizabeth II, who died on 8 September. He will attend Elizabeth’s funeral.

Prince George, 9, and Charlotte, 7, will walk behind the Queen’s coffin at Westminster Abbey with other members of the royal family. At the same time, they will not join the procession and will arrive at Westminster Abbey by car. This was reported to reporters by sources close to the palace.

Prince William and Kate Middleton could not decide for a long time whether the children should attend this event, but it seems that they have decided to take the children with them. As the source puts it, it was a “common decision”.

This won’t be the first such event for Prince George and Princess Charlotte: they also attended the funeral of their grandfather, Prince Philip, who passed away last year. The couple’s youngest son, Prince Louis, will not attend the funeral.

On the day the Queen died, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis went to a new school. When it was learned that Queen Elizabeth’s condition had worsened, Kate Middleton did not go to Balmoral with her husband and remained with her children.
