Senior royals from around the world are gathering for a memorial service for Queen Elizabeth II's late husband at Westminster Abbey.

Little Mia, who is 22nd in line to the throne and is known for her boisterous ways, was on her best behaviour today as she attended the Duke of Edinburghs memorial service with her parents.

The monarch, 95, had been determined to make the appearance at the deeply personal occasion.

To the shock of many in the Westminster Abbey congregation, Prince Andrew escorted his mother all the way to her front-row position - in full view of the live broadcast cameras.

Cheeky Charlotte, six, charmed the Archbishop of Canterbury and smiled to photographers as she made her grand entrance at Westminster Abbey.

Queen Elizabeth II shrugged off recent health issues to attend a service of thanksgiving for her beloved husband, Prince Philip, at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday, entering the cavernous church through a side door to shorten the distance to her seat.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte accompanied their parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to the memorial service for Prince Philip at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday (29.03.22).

Dressed in a green ensemble, the Monarch, 95, donned the Grima Ruby Brooch, which was a personal gift to her from her husban, one of the few modern pieces added to her jewellery collection.

This was a service to celebrate Prince Philip, but it left the feeling that a long chapter in the nation’s history is drawing to a close
