In a poignant gathering, Zara and Mike Tyndall joined other royal family members as they came together for a vigil honoring the late Queen.

The event was primarily meant for her four children, but Zara brought along her daughters, Mia and Lena, while Peter Phillips also included his two young girls, Savannah and Isla.

The little ones were dressed in black, complete with matching hair bands, adding a touch of innocence to the solemn occasion.

Meanwhile, Zara’s son Lucas stayed home, likely due to his tender age; after all, the older girls might grasp the significance of the moment a bit better.

As the evening unfolded, the royal family members appeared visibly emotional, their expressions reflecting the weight of the moment as they watched the Queen’s children stand guard over her coffin.

King Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward participated in a ceremonial vigil reminiscent of the one they had conducted at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh.

This time, they gathered at Westminster Hall in London, where the Queen will lie in state until her funeral on Monday.

Among those observing in silence was Queen Consort Camilla, who stood alongside other family members, all united in their grief.

In a notable gesture, Prince Andrew was allowed to wear his military uniform during the vigil, a privilege granted by King Charles despite Andrew no longer being a working royal.

The decision was particularly poignant given Andrew’s service in the Falklands, and it allowed him to pay his respects to his mother in a manner befitting the occasion.

As Andrew stood by the coffin, his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, watched from the stands.

Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, was visibly moved, appearing to wipe away tears as he witnessed the emotional tribute.

It was a moment that underscored the deep connections within the family, even amidst their sorrow.

Also present was Princess Anne’s husband, Vice-Admiral Sir Tim Lawrence, who had formed a close bond with the Queen during his tenure as her equerry.

Since the Queen’s passing on September 8, Sir Tim has been a steadfast support for Princess Anne, accompanying her during significant moments, including the journey from Balmoral Estate to Holyrood House in Edinburgh.

The vigil saw a blend of generations, with Zara Tindall, her husband Mike, and their daughters Mia and Lena in attendance.

The young girls, sporting French braids, leaned over the stands, eager to witness the proceedings below.

Their innocent curiosity contrasted sharply with the somber atmosphere surrounding them.

Young royals Lady Louise Windsor and her brother James, Viscount Severn, were also part of the gathering.

Meanwhile, Sophie Wessex, Countess of Wessex, accompanied Prince Edward’s children.

Sophie, who has been deeply affected by the Queen’s death, was seen fighting back tears as she stepped outside the Balmoral Estate to acknowledge public tributes left for the late monarch.

As the Queen’s grandchildren honored her memory, some prominent figures were notably absent.

Prince William and Prince Harry did not attend this particular vigil.

However, they are expected to participate in another significant tribute at Westminster Hall, where they will join their cousins to pay their respects to their grandmother.

While the partners of the Queen’s grandchildren will not be present at this next vigil, there is a noteworthy exception: King Charles has permitted Harry to wear his military uniform during the tribute, a gesture that acknowledges their shared history and the bonds of family, despite the changes in royal status.

The gatherings serve not only as a tribute to the late Queen but also as a reminder of the enduring ties that bind the royal family together, even in times of profound loss.

Each vigil, each moment of remembrance, reflects the love and respect they hold for the matriarch of their family, ensuring her legacy continues to resonate within their hearts.
