Queen’s Funeral: Touching moment at Westminster Abbey with Prince George
The two children of Prince William and Princess Kate may have found it difficult to say goodbye to their “Gan Gan” in Westminster Abbey. George (9) and Charlotte (7) seemed hopelessly overwhelmed.
It’s a good thing that in these moments they didn’t just find support with Mama Kate and Papa William. Prince Edward’s wife, Countess Sophie of Wessex, also appears to have been lovingly concerned for George. As the royals attend the funeral service at Westminster Abbey, she put a protective arm around Prince George’s shoulders. A photo shows the touching moment. In this exceptional situation and under the focus of the public, the great aunt was certainly able to give him a little comfort with this simple gesture and give him the feeling that he was not alone.

‘Collective family decision’: Prince George and Princess Charlotte attended the Queen’s funeral
Like the British tabloid Daily Mail citing palace sources, it was a “collective family decision” to allow the two children to participate. Only the youngest member of the family, Prince Louis, was missing. The four-year-old was probably just too young. (mbr)
