Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie Leave Queen’s Funeral Early, Leaving Fans Confused
Princess Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie were among the mourners who attended the funeral of their grandmother, the Queen, at Westminster Abbey on Monday.
The sisters were accompanied by their respective partners, Edoardo Moppelimozzi and Jack Brooksbank, and were visibly emotional throughout the service.
However, viewers were left perplexed after both Beatrice and Eugenie appeared to leave the funeral early.
The siblings were seated in the second row of the Abbey, on opposite sides of the aisle.
As the service began to come to a close, they were seen getting up and seemingly making their way out of the Abbey together.
This unexpected move left many royal fans wondering where the princesses had gone.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer asked, “Where did Beatrice and Eugenie just go?”
while another added, “What happened with Beatrice and Eugenie?
They left their seats and held up the bearer party.
Strange.”
However, both princesses were later seen with the rest of the royal family as they congregated outside the Abbey at the end of the funeral.
Prior to the funeral, Beatrice and Eugenie issued a joint statement in honor of their late grandmother.
The heartfelt tribute read, “Our dearest Granny, we've not been able to put much into words since you left us all… You were our matriarch, our guide, our loving hand on our backs leading us through this world.
You taught us so much and we will cherish those lessons and memories forever.”
Following the committal service in Windsor, Beatrice was seen in tears while her husband Eduardo Moppelli-Mozzi and mother Sarah Ferguson supported her during this difficult period.
Among the chapel, Beatrice's husband put a comforting arm around her as they walked away from the cameras.
There was a touching moment when the sisters turned to look for their mother before the service at Westminster Abbey, with the pair spending a few moments encouraging Sarah to join them as they made their way to their seats.
However, Sarah good-naturedly shook her head and gestured that she would stay behind the grandchildren, walking slightly behind the Queen's two youngest grandchildren, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount VII.
Beatrice and Eugenie's appearance at the funeral came after they had issued a joint statement in honor of their grandmother.
The message expressed their gratitude for the Queen's love and guidance, and praised her for being a remarkable leader.
The sisters' decision to leave the funeral early has sparked speculation among royal fans, with some suggesting that they may have had other commitments to attend to.
However, there has been no official explanation for their early departure.
Despite this unexpected turn of events, the funeral was a fitting tribute to the Queen, who had reigned for over seven decades.
The service was attended by members of the royal family and other dignitaries, and featured moving tributes to the monarch's life and legacy.
In the end, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's early departure from the funeral may remain a mystery.
However, their presence at the service and their heartfelt tribute to their grandmother serve as a reminder of the important role that the Queen played in the lives of her family and her country.
