Viscount Severn Joins Senior Royals at Queen Elizabeth II’s Funeral

The youngest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II, James, Viscount Severn, looked heartbroken as he attended his grandmother's funeral to say his final goodbye.

James and his sister Lady Louise Windsor joined senior royals at the state funeral held at Westminster Abbey.

The 14-year-old James and 18-year-old Louise accompanied their parents, Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex, at the service.

The siblings showed maturity as they sat together with their older cousins, Beatrice and Eduardo, during the Queen's funeral.

Lady Louise looked emotional as she wore a black dress and headband, while James looked down at the ground in a smart-looking black suit and tie.

The Queen's youngest grandson looked devastated during his grandmother's farewell service.

However, in a moving moment, he was seen being comforted by Princess Anne's son-in-law, Mike Tyndall.

Pictures show the former England captain resting his hand on the back of James, his cousin-in-law, as they walked close together at Westminster Abbey.

The 14-year-old was also seen sitting alongside his mother and sister Lady Louise as they joined the rest of the royal family at the funeral.

During the service, Zara and Mike sat in the front row, alongside Zara's brother, Peter Phillips, and Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

The funeral comes after Zara Tyndall joined her cousins for a grandchildren vigil around the Queen's coffin as she lay in state at Westminster Hall.

The eight royals, including Princes William and Harry, stood around the royal's standard-draped oak coffin, with their heads bowed.

Zara's filing past slowed almost to a stop to look upon the younger generation of the royal family as they stood in the spotlight, united in grief for their grandmother but maintaining their composure, just as the Queen was famed for, throughout.

Mike Tyndall, husband of Zara Tyndall, was very close to her grandmother thanks to their shared love of horses and riding.

Zara once said, “I curtsy to her every time I see her.

The thing with my grandmother is she is still my grandmother and she's very approachable, but she's also from an era where that was how it was done.”

Mike has also spoken fondly of his memories of the Queen and they were often seen chatting at engagements.

During an interview with The Telegraph last year, Mike praised the Queen and described her as “an amazing woman.”

He said, “I can only say how kind they've been to me, and how welcoming they've been to me since joining the family, and how they've made my family welcome.

I've always felt part of it and I think that's down to what an amazing woman the Queen is.

They're a fantastic family.”

The Queen was often seen with the Tyndalls at racing events and has been photographed chatting and joking at Royal Ascot over the years.

Back in 2019, Mike made the monarch chuckle when he showed her what he was hiding under his top hat at the annual event.

Being very smart in full tails, Mike took off his hat as he greeted the Queen, but he then surprised everyone by pulling something out of it.

She looks a tad unsure at first, but after he makes a quick comment she starts to giggle and Princess Beatrice does the same.

Mike later explained what happened to Royal expert Camilla Tominey, revealing that the item was a gift for his daughter.

“It is a chocolate hat that I am taking home for my daughter Mia,” he said.
