On Friday, many of the late monarch’s 12 great-grandchildren visited her coffin at Westminster Hall, where it lies in state until Monday’s funeral. As the Queen’s four children – King Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward – stood around their mother’s coffin, the audience passed quietly, enjoying the historic moment. Looking on from above were many members of the royal family, including Queen Camilla, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, Lady Louise, James, Viscount Severn, Sir Timothy Lawrence, Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, Princess Beatrix and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and the Duke of Kent. Princess Anne’s son Peter Phillips was with his two young daughters Savannah, 11, and Isla, 10. Anne’s daughter Zara Tyndall and her husband Mike Tyndall were also there with the daughters them, Mia, 8 years old, and Lena, 4 years old.
