In a poignant moment for the British royal family, Prince George and Princess Charlotte recently said their final goodbyes to Queen Elizabeth II.

The siblings, along with their parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, were present at the Queen’s state funeral held at Westminster Abbey on September 19.

This solemn occasion brought together not only the immediate family but also other prominent royals, including King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle.

However, their younger brother, Prince Louis, aged four, was notably absent from the ceremony.

Following the emotional memorial service, the Queen’s coffin embarked on a somber procession towards Windsor Castle, where a committal service was scheduled to take place at St. George’s Chapel.

Queen Elizabeth II passed away peacefully at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on September 8, at the age of 96.

In the days following her death, her coffin was transported slowly across the United Kingdom, allowing countless mourners to pay their respects along the way.

When the coffin arrived in London, it lay in state at Westminster Hall, drawing thousands of admirers who queued for hours to honor their beloved monarch.

The scene was a testament to her remarkable reign and the deep affection the public held for her.

In the lead-up to the funeral, King Charles and his siblings, alongside William, Harry, and their six cousins, stood vigil at various times, reflecting on their loss.

To her great-grandchildren, including George, Charlotte, and Louis, Queen Elizabeth was affectionately known as “Gone-Gone.”

In a touching revelation during a 2016 ITV documentary, Kate Middleton shared how the Queen would leave little gifts in the rooms for her great-grandkids whenever they visited her at one of her many residences.

This personal touch highlighted the special bond she shared with them.

During a visit to Windsor Castle on September 10, Princess Kate opened up about Louis’ heart-wrenching response to the news of the Queen’s passing.

He poignantly remarked that she was no longer with “great-grandpa,” referring to the late Prince Philip, who passed away in April 2021.

Such innocent expressions of grief remind us of the deep connections within families, even amidst loss.

The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges for the Queen’s interactions with her great-grandchildren.

Despite her advanced age and the social distancing measures in place, she found ways to connect with them virtually.

Prince Harry fondly recalled a sweet moment when the Queen and Prince Philip chatted with his son, Archie Harrison, over Zoom in February 2021.

Harry shared this delightful anecdote on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” revealing how the Queen made an effort to stay involved in Archie’s life.
