They were pictured walking alongside their parents Prince William and Duchess Kate into Westminster Abbey, with George (8) wearing a suit like his father and Charlotte (6) wearing a navy coat. However, their 3-year-old brother Prince Louiswas left at home. The Duchess of Cambridge wore a black polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich, and channeled Princess Diana in a broad-brimmed hat with a white feather and the late princess’s pearl earrings. The service of thanksgiving for the life of Prince Philip—who died last year at the age of 99—was attended byQueen Elizabeth II, with the 95-year-old monarch only making the decision to travel from Windsor Castle to London hours before the memorial. She was accompanied on the journey by her son Prince Andrew. This was the first time that the Duke of York has been seen in public since settling his sexual assault case with Virginia Guiffre. The service was limited to 40 minutes in order to accommodate the queen. This was the first time she left her home to attend a public event in almost six months. Because only 30 people were able to attend the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral last year due to Covid restrictions, today’s memorial service presented the opportunity to many more of his friends and representatives of his charities to pay tribute to his life. Prince Charles, Duchess Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, Countess Sophie, Princess Eugenie, and Princess Beatricewere all in attendance.
