Following the funeral, video footage taken at Wellington Arch seemingly showed Princess Charlotte telling her brother Prince George to bow as their great-grandmother's coffin passed them. Emma, the monarch's fell pony, stood by as the ceremonial procession of the coffin arrived at Windsor Castle for the committal service. Thousands upon thousands of flowers – cut, not planted – dotted the route.

Her funeral did not take place until 11 days later, though, as there was a period of mourning in the United Kingdom first. Charlotte and her brothers had actually just started a new year of school just on day prior to The Queen’s death. Princess Charlotte has drawn attention from royal fans over the years due to her striking resemblance to her late great-grandmother, who died on Sept. 8, at the same age. Meanwhile, Charlotte’s youngest sibling, Prince Louis, 4, wasn’t present at the funeral. Ahead of the monumental event, Kate opened up about her child’s response to his great-grandmother’s passing.

Charlotte was spotted correcting both her brothers’ deportment during the Trooping the Colour procession. George, Charlotte and Louis were brought to many events celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June, delighting royal fans. The queen's dogs and her horse were brought as their owner was taken into the same church, St. George's Chapel, where her husband was buried in April 2021.

However, his mother did open up to one royal well-wisher about the youngster's heartbreaking reaction to the news that his great-grandmother had passed away. The children reportedly knew the late Queen as 'Gan Gan' and they were the youngest people following the coffin into Westminster Abbey for a service that was attended by around 2,000 mourners. The young royal walked behind the Queen's coffin with her brother, Prince George, who is now second in line to the throne, earlier today. "So sad to see Charlotte burst into tears and George looking clearly distressed," wrote a fourth. Princess Charlotte was seen bursting into tears as she said goodbye to her great-grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, today (19 September). During King Charles' first televised address to the nation as the new monarch, which saw him refer to the 'deep sense of gratitude' he had for his mother, he also spoke fondly of his royal family members.

According to Jennings, 12 CMPD officers fired their service weapons and are on administrative leave while an investigation is underway, which is standard procedure. More than 100 shell casings will be collected, according to CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings. At the scene, officers recovered an AR-15 and 40-caliber handgun, along with additional magazines for both guns. At first, officers said a second person began firing from within the home. In Tuesday’s press conference, officials said they were investigating whether or not a second shooter was at the scene.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the fund has raised over $13,000, Bradford Muller, a spokesperson for the foundation, told USA TODAY. In response to Monday's attack, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Foundation created a Help Our Heroes fund, providing mental health care for local public safety employees and first responder agencies. The fund would also be used to support impact agencies and their employees. "I have to say I make no apologies for my tears," Lyles said during Tuesday's vigil.

The pair were spotted (leashed, of course) ahead of the committal service. The two dogs are expected to live with Andrew and Sarah, the Duchess of York. Her daughter, Charlotte, wore a dainty brooch on her coat in the shape of a horseshoe, a tribute to her great-grandmother, who had a lifelong passion for horses. Kate wore two pieces of jewelry that once belonged to her grandmother-in-law.

The royal siblings then exited the car and stood alongside their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, at Wellington Arch as the coffin was moved to the hearse to make the drive to Windsor, England. Sophie, the Countess of Wessex was seen putting a reassuring arm around George's shoulders. And Markle had a tear on her left cheek outside the abbey, where the royal wives watched their husbands set off on the longer of the royal processions to Hyde Park. In fact, in video footage taken at Wellington Arch, seven-year-old Charlotte appears very brave and even passes on some wisdom to her older brother, George, telling him to bow as their great-grandmother's coffin passed them. The young royal was standing in Wellington Arch alongside her mother, the Princess of Wales, and her brother, Prince George, when she was snapped holding her hands up towards her eyes.

Officers called for backup and, as additional law enforcement responded to the scene, "the gunfire continued, striking additional officers," the department said. Authorities eventually shot Hughes, who was pronounced dead on the front lawn. At least 12 Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers fired their weapons during the incident, all of whom are on paid administrative leave, the department said in a statement Tuesday.

“[Louis said,] ‘At least Grannie is with Great-Grandpa [Prince Philip] now,'” she told well-wishers on September 10, days after the sovereign’s death. In the same way that he and his younger brother Prince Harry walked behind the gun carriage in Wednesday's procession, they did so 25 years ago during the funeral of their late mother. In a committal service that followed the funeral at Windsor Castle, the crown, scepter and orb were removed from the top of the queen's casket. The items were placed on an altar at St George’s Chapel, and marked the final separation of the late queen from her crown.

“As he demonstrated yesterday, he’s the kind of officer you want to respond when you need help. He was rushing in to help a task force officer when he was taken on by gunfire,” Jennings said. Nearly 100 officers were shot, including 10 who were killed, in the first three months of 2024, according to a March update from The National Fraternal Order of Police. The foundation was established in 2004 by local business and civic leaders to support the police department and promote public safety in Charlotte, according to Muller. Condolences for the officers involved in one of the deadliest recent attacks on law enforcement poured out from small communities to the White House.
