After the state funeral, the children joined their parents at Wellington Arch to watch as the Queen’s coffin was transferred to the hearse ahead of being driven to Windsor.

And as Charlotte stood next to her brother, she was seen mouthing something to him, with lip readers decoding it as, “You need to bow.”
