Prince George and Princess Charlotte to Walk Behind Queen’s Coffin at Funeral

The royal family has been preparing for the Queen's state funeral, which will take place today at Westminster Abbey followed by a committal service at Windsor Castle.

As part of the procession, Prince George and Princess Charlotte will walk behind their great-grandmother's coffin.

The children of the Prince and Princess of Wales have yet to be seen in public since the announcement of the Queen's death on September 8th.

According to sources, Prince William and Catherine decided to keep their youngest child, 4-year-old Prince Louis, at home during the day's commemorations.

The decision for Prince George and Princess Charlotte to attend was made after long discussions with aides, as they are seen as the future of the monarchy.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge thought long and hard about taking their children to the ceremony and discussed it with both of them together before a decision was collectively made.

The young royals will walk through the Gothic Church in London with the royal family in procession behind the Queen's coffin as it's carried by the military bearer party.

George and Charlotte will walk together behind their parents, walking side by side in formation, followed by their uncle and aunt, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and other family members.

The King, with the Queen consort, will be immediately behind the coffin, followed by the Princess Royal and Vice-Admiral Sir Tim Lawrence, then the Duke of York, followed by the Earl and Countess of Wessex, and then the Prince and Princess of Wales.

A decision was yet to be made as to whether young George and Charlotte would take part in a similar procession at Windsor Castle for the separate committal service before the Queen is laid to rest at a private burial service at 7.30pm this evening.

A royal source said that this was definitely a collective family decision.

Meanwhile, as preparations for the Queen's state funeral continue, Prince Harry is marking his 38th birthday.

The Duke, who is grieving the loss of his grandmother, could be reunited with his children, Lillibet and Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.

A royal expert has suggested that the children could be flown over with Meghan's mother Doria to brighten up the Duke's day.

The Sussexes have been at the centre of many theories, but some have claimed their relationship is part of a bizarre plan to allow the UK to reabsorb the US.

Before the couple had even tied the knot, a wild conspiracy theory about their relationship started doing the rounds online, with some Americans claiming it was all a ruse for the UK to regain control of the US.

Twitter user Greg Polowitz first shared the idea in November 2017, saying, “what if one grows up to be president and is in line for the throne of the UK?

Brits are playing long ball here, but it's a smart move, they want America back and this is how they'll do it.”

Others were quick to respond, with one person spinning Donald Trump's infamous slogan, saying, “let's make America Great Britain again.”

However, it has been reported that Meghan Markle could have her sights set on the White House, with talk of her ambition to become America's first woman president dating back to a secret meeting with Hillary Clinton at Frogmore Cottage in 2019.

In conclusion, the Queen's state funeral is a solemn occasion for the royal family, as they bid farewell to their matriarch.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte will play an important role in the procession, walking behind their great-grandmother's coffin.

The Duke of Sussex, who is marking his birthday on this sad day, could be reunited with his children to bring some joy to an otherwise sombre occasion.

Despite the many theories surrounding the Sussexes, the focus remains on the Queen and her legacy.
