Princess Anne was the only female seen at the Queen’s coffin procession today, being joined by her brothers on the walk to Westminster Abbey for the late Queen’s funeral.
The Princess looked somber and was seen walking in dignified silence behind her mom’s coffin to attend the funeral.
The 72-year-old Princess Royal, often described by many as one of the hardest working royals out there, could be seen right next to her brother, King Charles III. She looked very concerned for him as he wiped away his eyes and nose at today’s service on multiple occasions.
The mother of two was the only woman to make her way behind the Queen’s coffin as it headed into Abbey.
All others located in the military procession were males, and that is what made her presence clearly stand out amid the crowd.
During the earlier parts of this week, she was seen mentioning to so many well-wishers that their floral tributes for the Queen were really and totally out of this world. She was also seen comforting so many young and grieving children, who had traveled miles and stood for hours to get a glimpse of members of the royal family so they could offer their tributes.
In what is being called the most emotional journey through the nation, she accompanied her mom’s body from Balmoral to the streets of Edinburgh. And then when it landed at Buckingham Palace, she was there too.
She also released a heartfelt tribute to her mother, telling how much she adored her and how fortunate she was to share the final 24 hours of her mom’s life and be there by her side.
“The love and respect shown for the Queen are so humbling and uplifting,”- she added.
