Prince George and Princess Charlotte to Attend Queen’s State Funeral
Prince George and Princess Charlotte will attend the state funeral of their great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, on Monday.
The order of service was published on Sunday, confirming the attendance of the nine-year-old future king and his seven-year-old sister.
The children affectionately called the Queen “Gan-Gan,” and their attendance at the funeral was still under discussion as late as Saturday.
Initially, it was thought that only Prince George would attend the funeral, with royal officials hoping to reassure the nation of the order of succession.
However, both he and his sister will now join the Queen's funerary procession in front of over 2,000 mourners.
Their attendance dispelled speculation over whether they would be deemed too young for such a solemn occasion.

During the funeral procession, Prince George and Princess Charlotte will follow the Wessexes.
The Sussexes will follow the Wales children at an official state event for the first time.

Despite these concerns, the state funeral will proceed as planned.
The Wessexes will be in front of the Wales children, while the Earl of Snowdon and Peter Phillips will be behind them.
Royal fans hope that Meghan will behave appropriately and show respect for the solemn occasion.
