Sophie Wessex has been captured in a “lovely” moment comforting an emotional Prince George by putting her arm around him at Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral.
Prince George demonstrated gentlemanly behavior as he waited for the ladies to exit the vehicle first. His Great Grandparents would be proud. Well done, young man!
@@BlackStump172 Why would she need a mask? Covid is well under control now and the medics know how to deal with it. Only a few cases now thankfully and we are now due our annual vaccination - free via the NHS and very well organised for such a huge undertaking. It’s the USA where the numbers are spiraling out of control again.
Sophie's the calm in the storm, there to shore up those that need it, and fulfilling her role as a working royal. I sincerely hope that King Charles lll does make Prince Edward and Sophie Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. His father, the late Prince Philip and Duke of Edinburgh asked that this happen and her Majesty the late Queen approved.
Everyone says she's VERY Dedicated to her Charities & a Very Hard Worker! She just rolls up her sleeves & gets on with it along with the Best of Them! No fanfare, like some ppl! She just gets in there & gets things done! She's very practical! I think it's just Lovely how each one of these Royal Women (all but one, Me Me Me) have certain Personalities & Characteristics about them that when they apply them to the Work they're involved in, it has a Marvelous Effect! I always think of Diana taking William along with her to Hospitals & other engagements & taught him to not be Shy, but to greet ppl & engage them in an interesting conversations about that person! It makes ppl realize you care about THEM as an Individual! Then William taught Catherine to do it! What a Great Team W & C are! You can see how effective these traits are by watching them among ppl! It's pretty awesome, when you think of it! They're going to make a Very Wonderful P & P of Wales! And those Adorable Children.....so sweet & genuine!
She is 57? She looks fantastic! (They all work on keeping a healthy weight, which I think is the single most important factor in health and looking one's best, something it seems most all of us have to wrestle with in this age!)

The Prince and Princess of Wales children are a huge credit to their parent’s parenting skills, so respectful, thoughtful, dignified, well mannered and well behaved kindhearted, caring and helpful especially Prince George loves helping his mother in the kitchen
As an American how would you in America feel if you had a Russian president why should we in Wales have an Englishman as our prince by all means call him prince William
Sophie has been such a blessing to the Queen and the royal family. She came as the Queen was witnessing her children’s marriages coming apart, likely putting her through stress. Sophie was quick to learn what was expected of her when joining the family, the main one is to be a team player and represents the Queen. Along with a friendly personality Sophie blossomed a beautiful relationship between her and the Queen. Becoming one of her most trusted family members, even picking up the pieces when Megxit happened while the Queen and Charles and Camilla had to be careful to be active when Covid was spread. I hope that Charles will understand how much of an allie both Edward and Sophie are, until the Wales’ children could grow into their roles, the Wessex I think are happy to continue to serve for as much required. And Edward chose well for his spouse. It was his marriage that gave his parents a well needed relief. Together with Sophie, their marriage has provided so much benefit in helping the Queen.
The natural bond between HM and Sophie was strengthened after Sophie's mum died, it must have given solace to both ladies to have each other's trust the way they did.
Many of the RF showed emotions and tears. They were very real as was their love for their grandmother, mother, and mother-in-law. They wouldn't be human if they didn't. Many people throughout the world joined in with them in tears and grief.
The only good thing that came from megxit is that the Queen asked Edward and Sophie to step up and fill the spot H&M left. And Lord knows that Edward and Sophie have done such an amazing job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If these don’t touch your heart 0:40 - Prince Edward, his intense sorrow 0:44 - Sophie of Wessex, absolutely gutted So sorry for the family. I wish the Queen’s last three years hadn’t been filled with such stress and sorrow. I hope she left this earth feeling confident Charles and William will take what she built for 70 years and carry it on. I’m sure she did.
George, Charlotte and Louis will miss their Gan Gan very much. I also admire Sophie with how she shows great service to the people, the Queen was really fond of her, not as tough as Princess Anne but Sophie is a constant presence that is a comfort every time you see her. Quiet sense of duty is on point. Not boastful but always there and serving with the royals. I imagine Sophie and Princess Anne will help Catherine and Prince William, King Charles and Camilla on Royal duties because Sophie and Princess Anne are just great mentors just like The Queen.
@@sabrinamurphy4009 you are not necessarily correct. I listen to the my music on RUclips while driving and when I am waiting in line for my lunch, I check the news and today, the next clip was the one you commented on.

However there is nothing wrong with people veiwing the funeral but there is something terribly wrong with people especially reporters and personally the comment section should be closed on all videos like this.

Edward is not senior royal anymore, with the Queen dying Edward, Anne and Andrew dropped down the Order of Precedence they were children of the Sovereign, now they are siblings of the sovereign
@@lsmith9249 Charles is King. He can do whatever he wants and doesn't need your permission SHARON. If he wants someone to be a Senior royal then they will be.
Sophie seems to be a truly caring person. I've noticed this many times. Those young children had more strength than many adults. They have a strong support system in their parents.
This poem is dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II may she rest in peace Queenie I love the Queen she was never horrible, never mean She was a wonderful head of state, with all the worlds problems on her plate, Like politicians destroying her country, upholding traditions and all their superstitions, She was assiduous to her duties, carried out with Grace and Beauty, she Devoted her life to the service of this Country, A dutiful wife, bringing life, bearing the sorrows of her nation! Regal and Sovereign, a Jewel in the Crown Of gods beautiful creation 🙏✨🌍
Sophie, Countess of Wessex will surely be a great support to the Princess of Wales. Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex deserve to be the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh just like what Prince Philip wanted.
Truly touching. You can see how much the queen meant to those so close to her. The small gestures that show of profound and enormous love for those she cared for. Love and all the best wishes your majest.
she's not, usually charities ask a member of the royal family to be Patrons of their charity but with the Monarch it's slightly different, most of the patronages pass from Monarch to Monarch so they will pass to our King but there are some charities that asked the Queen to be Patron of their charity and these charities will ask new people to be Patrons and they could ask celebrities but they are just charity work and our Queen was a member of Sandringham WI but they weren't our late Queen's duties and all her duties pass to our King
I love the Royal family. Sophie is a very pretty lady who always shows the utmost respect whatever she does and has a kind heart. Sophie and Catherine are two of a kind - elegant, hard working and thoroughly likeable/loveable. What a shame others cannot be as loyal to the family and their subjects as these two formidable ladies.
Sophie of Wessex is just the most lovely person you might imagine from the royal family. I've had a pleasure to meet her and know at visiting my college and meeting my students. What a beautiful soul in the skin of lovely, intelligent and very classy lady, hard working and driving by her own in spite to attend lots of duties.We know Sophie was very loved by late Queen and they had very close & very special, warm relationship so no wonder how emotional was that day of the funeral for Sophie. Meghan Markle has not enough IQ as to see the difference between Sophie and hers, what a shame!
I think Sophie is incredibly poised, classy and such a beautiful woman. Have always liked the way she went about her role quietly and with such huge dignity.
It’s all so Historic and beautiful.Queen Elizabeth is all I’ve ever known, she’s been a strong hold in every storm. She is being revered and appreciated and shown love and respect by SO many !!! She will never be replaced… there will never be another like her. I feel like I’ve lost my own grandmother ❣️
I think it is so important that the children could attend the Queen's funeral. This will help them to have closure and as long as they are allowed to cry and can be comforted by people like their aunt, mother, father, uncles and grandfather the King.
Yeah, get 'em young, to get used to the obligations of privilege dressed up as 'duty', As i said before it's child abuse to be brought up to believe you are a separate 'caste', genetically, (or by marriage). But as with Diana's funeral the two sons experienced it, so their children must experience it. So much British/Australian tabloid tosh, that is the mainstay of the whole British system. Without them, the Uk would be a republic.
They really are a close knit, loving family. There were many moments where you could see that throughout the day. Even Zara was tender with George, and Sophie was protective of Charlotte. It was very sweet. It must be so hard for them, I’m glad they are tight and have each other.
Love Sophie. She is the fortress of the family now that the queen is gone. She seems very loving, strong and protective of the Prince and Princess of Wales’s family
Princess Sophie is lovely she visited a school a worked at a long time ago. She was so humble and spent time listening to every child and staff member. I remember laughing with her about the computers, it felt like I was talking with a friend.
Sophie Wessex is a lovely lady,she was wonderful to her mother in-law the Queen and loyal to the family. Prince George and Princess Charlotte were so adorable,and are mature beyond their ages obviously very intelligent. Prince William has a beautiful family he and Princess Catherine are doing a magnificent job of raising their children with the same upstanding values that they believe in.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
funerals are scary for kids. and then the somber vibe, and your own sadness. tough day for any kid. and ones like this with such a public funeral-very tough day...
@@lth7023 Yes, I know that she and the children spent a lot of time at the swimming pool in Buckingham Palace before the renovations began and a lot of time weekends riding horses with the queen and having tea at Windsor Castle, which they live near. How good that both the youngest grandchildren got to know Philip & ERII well enough to have shared a great deal with them and have memories/learning that will last a lifetime.
I really do think that all of the royals did a wonderful job keeping it together, it would of been tough for everybody seeing their mother, grandmother & greatmother funeral so openly as their did, my heart & thoughts goes out to them all! & no doubt prince phillip & the queen would of both been smiling down at them on how proud they would of been of them all!
Sophie actually stopped and looked for Meghan, waiting for her to catch up. Surprising. But just goes to show what a class act Sophie is! And she doesn't need it to be on camera either!
The Queen once said that when ever she felt stressed, she would call for Sophie to come over (they don't live far from Windsor Castle) & be with her bc Sophie had a Great Calming Influence on her! It doesn't get any better than that, when your Mother-in-Law, who just happens to be the Queen, says that about you! I'm happy that apparently it's been planned by Her Majesty, that upon her death, King Charles would bestow the Title & Style of "HRH The Duke of Edinburgh", taking the Title that their Father bore! Of course, in that case, Sophie will be Styled & Titled "HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh"! How Lovely is That? 😊🌷
It’s nice to see that someone in that royal family has compassion for the kids. I know they’re not supposed to show emotion but these are children being groomed and trained for royal duty in the future. They can’t be expected to turn their emotions off completely at such a young age. It takes time to learn how to do that. They were both little troopers who appeared well behaved and disciplined. At least they had a few years to spend with their great grandmother. That’s better than nothing.
You're obv not a royal follower, a lot of protocols have been relaxed over the years, look how Diana's children ran into her arms after she'd been away on royal duties, things change, times change, we still have the pomp and ceremony for state banquets and funerals 😊😊
Charlotte and George looked so grown up in their finery. And they both showed such dignity. Poor Louie. He's too young to grasp the absolute finality of Great-Grannie's passing. I hope he doesn't lose all memory of her. I was 4 when my Great Grandma died and I only have very shadowy, snippets of memory of her. But then again, she lived 2,000 miles away. With the Queen being so close by, perhaps Louie has many more strong interactions to remember and they will stay with him.
Sophie is one of my very favorites.... I love and admire her strength and she knows how to send very direct signals with her eyes. Like daggers towards certain individuals..... to let ‘her’ know not to dare cross Sophie’s boundaries♥️💯👍🌈🌤💐🌸🌺🌼⭐️💖💫 or dare ‘mess’ with any of the RF
To Scout’s Honor: I think your comments are a bit off. Sophie has her act together big time so she is like sending out the Calvary. She can probably handle just about anything well with poise and tact and intelligent good sense. And some people need other people to guide them gently and tactfully. It is NOT about being aggressive.
The Queen's grandchildren much be finding it tough at the moment God bless them and I will say a few prayers for them before I go to bed tonight All the best 👍
Seeing little Princess Charlotte crying absolutely broke me. I just wanted to reach out and give her a hug, and tell her to keep her "gan-gan" in her heart. Losing one's grandparent is so hard on the little ones. God bless them. ❤️🙏
@@user-dn6sc5ul2x and yet everyone still understands what I meant. Losing *any* grandparent is hard. William and Catherine's children called her "gan-gan".
Sophie is lovely, a hardworker, not an attention seeker, no drama. She raised two lovely children.
Prince George demonstrated gentlemanly behavior as he waited for the ladies to exit the vehicle first. His Great Grandparents would be proud. Well done, young man!

@@desres2281 and you are what exactly. Too much hate consumes the heart and it turns dark. Beware
What I absolutely adore is that these kids are allowed and even encouraged to show emotion. They have a good support system from their family.
While I disagree that they are "encouraged to show emotion", I think it's adorable too.
Yes ! Their very well loved by both sides of family ,

@@garethwilliams2058 ‘we’? I strongly suggest that you speak for yourself, you have no right to speak for anyone else. Many, many disagree with you.
As an American how would you in America feel if you had a Russian president why should we in Wales have an Englishman as our prince by all means call him prince William
Sophie has been such a blessing to the Queen and the royal family. She came as the Queen was witnessing her children’s marriages coming apart, likely putting her through stress. Sophie was quick to learn what was expected of her when joining the family, the main one is to be a team player and represents the Queen. Along with a friendly personality Sophie blossomed a beautiful relationship between her and the Queen. Becoming one of her most trusted family members, even picking up the pieces when Megxit happened while the Queen and Charles and Camilla had to be careful to be active when Covid was spread. I hope that Charles will understand how much of an allie both Edward and Sophie are, until the Wales’ children could grow into their roles, the Wessex I think are happy to continue to serve for as much required.
And Edward chose well for his spouse. It was his marriage that gave his parents a well needed relief. Together with Sophie, their marriage has provided so much benefit in helping the Queen.
Sophie spent five (5) years learning the ropes!!!!!
@@madhatter909 yes, she was given much more support than some of the other ladies. 🤔
Kate 2 Create you need to watch Edward and Sophie, the reluctant royals, its on here
@@madhatter909 no she did not, she was working at her PR firm
The natural bond between HM and Sophie was strengthened after Sophie's mum died, it must have given solace to both ladies to have each other's trust the way they did.
Sophie doesn’t get enough credit for the work she does. She’s one of the busiest, hardest working Royals
no she's not , Edward has been 4th on list and she's well below him
Thats it with the royals, they don't look for credit, they just do the work.
Indeed. I just took a quick look at the Court Circular, and she's been quietly doing a public engagement every day for years.
Busy? at what? tea socials.
@@taroman7100 Tea socials? You must work really hard to maintain this level of stupidity.
The two Wales Children would have made the Queen SO, SO proud 👏 🥲 🥰 they were phenomenal ❤️ 💯👍🐨🦘🇦🇺💜
So were Zara ad Peter's children that were there..
Edward and Sophie are true "quiet achievers", who make the Royal Family proud.
Sophie is awesome. I really like her.
Me, too! 🌹
@Bella reported for spam 😤😤
Contess Sophie is a beautiful person inside and out.
Agree
Sophie is such a lovely lady she has worked harder since harry left, but she always has got on with each family members
she hasn't worked any harder, she's just getting more attention from the press
@@lsmith9249 shut up Sophie works damn hard & is a credit to the RF, you need to go do some homework before you keep rattling yer gums!!
Many of the RF showed emotions and tears. They were very real as was their love for their grandmother, mother, and mother-in-law. They wouldn't be human if they didn't. Many people throughout the world joined in with them in tears and grief.
Love seeing how this family loves each other & the relaxed interactions between them 💖💖💖🙆🇺🇲
The only good thing that came from megxit is that the Queen asked Edward and Sophie to step up and fill the spot H&M left. And Lord knows that Edward and Sophie have done such an amazing job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If these don’t touch your heart
0:40 - Prince Edward, his intense sorrow
0:44 - Sophie of Wessex, absolutely gutted
So sorry for the family. I wish the Queen’s last three years hadn’t been filled with such stress and sorrow. I hope she left this earth feeling confident Charles and William will take what she built for 70 years and carry it on. I’m sure she did.
I think it was so beautiful to See Princess George allowing the ladies to come out first like, and that's what you a gentleman
We just think of her as the Queen, and forget that she was a mother and grandmother and they knew her on a different level than us.
Duchess of Wessex is an absolute blessing to her family: caring, dignified, and beautiful.
Sophie is so very loyal and sweet. What an asset to the Royal Family.
She has a wonderful reputation and is always a wonderful Lady! ❤
George, Charlotte and Louis will miss their Gan Gan very much. I also admire Sophie with how she shows great service to the people, the Queen was really fond of her, not as tough as Princess Anne but Sophie is a constant presence that is a comfort every time you see her. Quiet sense of duty is on point. Not boastful but always there and serving with the royals. I imagine Sophie and Princess Anne will help Catherine and Prince William, King Charles and Camilla on Royal duties because Sophie and Princess Anne are just great mentors just like The Queen.
It is ridiculous that those people can't mourn properly without a camera in their faces. People have no right to judge how they mourn.
They consider it their duty. I feel for the children, but the adults who marry into it know to expect this
@@jenniferzemlansky7957 Yeah but knowing and enduring are two different things.
Their proper burial service was done privately and now they have 7 days of mourning which won’t involve all the cameras etc.
@@sabrinamurphy4009 you are not necessarily correct. I listen to the my music on RUclips while driving and when I am waiting in line for my lunch, I check the news and today, the next clip was the one you commented on. I didn't watch it yet I am reading the comments and you my dear stuck out by your rude comment. However there is nothing wrong with people veiwing the funeral but there is something terribly wrong with people especially reporters and personally the comment section should be closed on all videos like this.
@@sabrinamurphy4009 you are a witch. Do you know that it is no different here in the US? GM, Ford, Amazon etc make money off the back of the workers in order to pay their stockholders. Unless you are actually part of that world you are not in a position to make yet another blanketed statement.
Sophie so classy and responsibility as senior royals and so Princess Charlotte and Prince George were very well behaved.
Edward is not senior royal anymore, with the Queen dying Edward, Anne and Andrew dropped down the Order of Precedence
they were children of the Sovereign, now they are siblings of the sovereign
@@lsmith9249 Charles is King. He can do whatever he wants and doesn't need your permission SHARON. If he wants someone to be a Senior royal then they will be.
Sophie seems to be a truly caring person. I've noticed this many times. Those young children had more strength than many adults. They have a strong support system in their parents.
This poem is dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II may she rest in peace
Queenie
I love the Queen she was never horrible, never mean
She was a wonderful head of state,
with all the worlds problems on her plate, Like politicians destroying her country, upholding traditions and all their superstitions,
She was assiduous to her duties, carried out with Grace and Beauty, she Devoted her life to the service of this Country,
A dutiful wife, bringing life, bearing the sorrows of her nation!
Regal and Sovereign, a Jewel in the Crown Of gods beautiful creation
🙏✨🌍
Sophie, Countess of Wessex will surely be a great support to the Princess of Wales. Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex deserve to be the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh just like what Prince Philip wanted.
Absolutely
Truly touching. You can see how much the queen meant to those so close to her. The small gestures that show of profound and enormous love for those she cared for. Love and all the best wishes your majest.
Sophie of Wessex is great and I am glad that she is taking over duties which the precious Queen did.
she's not, usually charities ask a member of the royal family to be Patrons of their charity
but with the Monarch it's slightly different, most of the patronages pass from Monarch to Monarch
so they will pass to our King
but there are some charities that asked the Queen to be Patron of their charity and these charities
will ask new people to be Patrons and they could ask celebrities
but they are just charity work
and our Queen was a member of Sandringham WI
but they weren't our late Queen's duties and all her duties pass to our King
I agree Silvia. This is a new generation who can make up the rules as they go along. They can adjust anything they want just like George V did.
Charlotte's little hat and coat was so precious.
Bless his heart. Good to have someone to comfort.
Sophie is wonderful! She looks after all of the family in such a loving, caring and protective way
The 2 grandchildren are well
behave and disciplined. It Is
admirable! Seeing Charlotte
crying is touching, how 'mature' they are.
Great grandchildren
I think seeing Prince Edward shedding tears at his Mother's funeral just shows that they do show their feelings .
Princess Sophie is beautiful, graceful lady with noble character.
I love the Royal family. Sophie is a very pretty lady who always shows the utmost respect whatever she does and has a kind heart. Sophie and Catherine are two of a kind - elegant, hard working and thoroughly likeable/loveable. What a shame others cannot be as loyal to the family and their subjects as these two formidable ladies.
How well behaved Prince George and Princess Charlotte were. Their Gan Gan would have been so proud
I've always loved Sophie. I also like how (with just a certain look) she is able to put Megain in her place.
Sophie of Wessex is just the most lovely person you might imagine from the royal family. I've had a pleasure to meet her and know at visiting my college and meeting my students. What a beautiful soul in the skin of lovely, intelligent and very classy lady, hard working and driving by her own in spite to attend lots of duties.We know Sophie was very loved by late Queen and they had very close & very special, warm relationship so no wonder how emotional was that day of the funeral for Sophie. Meghan Markle has not enough IQ as to see the difference between Sophie and hers, what a shame!
I think Sophie is incredibly poised, classy and such a beautiful woman. Have always liked the way she went about her role quietly and with such huge dignity.
Now that is a Beautiful Lady ❤️ Love Sophie & Edward
Sophie was like a second daughter to Her Majesty
Charlotte is an adorable little princess, the little horseshoe pin is something to treasure forever.
Countess of Wessex is a top notch person in many ways. A middle class gal who is truly Royal! ❤
Moms know how to comfort children. They are protective.
Prince George so well mannered alighted last from the car...incredible shoe of great upbringing
It’s all so Historic and beautiful.Queen Elizabeth is all I’ve ever known, she’s been a strong hold in every storm. She is being revered and appreciated and shown love and respect by SO many !!! She will never be replaced… there will never be another like her. I feel like I’ve lost my own grandmother ❣️
Kate is a lovely Mum! And, with the support of members of the royal family, she will do well.
Sophie is the hero for RF. She's such a guard specially for Wales family. Love Sophie, The Duchess of Wessex 😍
She's being repaid well for keeping the secret.
The final goodbye is the most painful one.😢
This is so awesome. This is the way you show true love and compassion. Empathy shown for all the sadness.
Sophie is an amazing addition to the Royal family
Sophie Wessex is a brick. To the royal family she's a protective to all of them. I do love this woman 👍👍❤️❤️
Absolutely love the Wales and the Wessex! 💜❤
I think it is so important that the children could attend the Queen's funeral. This will help them to have closure and as long as they are allowed to cry and can be comforted by people like their aunt, mother, father, uncles and grandfather the King.
Yeah, get 'em young, to get used to the obligations of privilege dressed up as 'duty', As i said before it's child abuse to be brought up to believe you are a separate 'caste', genetically, (or by marriage). But as with Diana's funeral the two sons experienced it, so their children must experience it. So much British/Australian tabloid tosh, that is the mainstay of the whole British system. Without them, the Uk would be a republic.
Sophie is just a beautiful soul..
Hugs to the youngest Royals. ❤
They really are a close knit, loving family. There were many moments where you could see that throughout the day. Even Zara was tender with George, and Sophie was protective of Charlotte. It was very sweet. It must be so hard for them, I’m glad they are tight and have each other.
Love Sophie. She is the fortress of the family now that the queen is gone. She seems very loving, strong and protective of the Prince and Princess of Wales’s family
Yes, Sophie and Anne are the fortresses for sure.
Sophie is the long suffering wife of a big secret.
@@taroman7100 Would you shut up.
Prince George waiting for all the ladies to exit the car before him is so thoughtful.
We mourn with you Prince George n Princess Charlotte for our great Queens passing RIP my Great Queen!!!
Princess Sophie is lovely she visited a school a worked at a long time ago. She was so humble and spent time listening to every child and staff member. I remember laughing with her about the computers, it felt like I was talking with a friend.
Sophie is gold
KATE AND SOPHIE ARE GOLD.😊
Praying 🙏 for the family
They need your prayers more then you know.
@@jacquelinesoller9253 We all do
Sophie Wessex is a lovely lady,she was wonderful to her mother in-law the Queen and loyal to the family.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte were so adorable,and are mature beyond their ages obviously very intelligent.
Prince William has a beautiful family he and Princess Catherine are doing a magnificent job of raising their children with the same upstanding values that they believe in.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
funerals are scary for kids. and then the somber vibe, and your own sadness. tough day for any kid. and ones like this with such a public funeral-very tough day...
The queen was always very inclusive of Sophie's father after he was widowed and moved into Bagshot Park. Sophie is a gem.
Sophie was so Grieved at the Loss of her Mother that the Queen comforted her & kind of became her 2nd Mother. They were very close!
@@lth7023 Yes, I know that she and the children spent a lot of time at the swimming pool in Buckingham Palace before the renovations began and a lot of time weekends riding horses with the queen and having tea at Windsor Castle, which they live near. How good that both the youngest grandchildren got to know Philip & ERII well enough to have shared a great deal with them and have memories/learning that will last a lifetime.
My God they have a right to cry... Bless them all
I really do think that all of the royals did a wonderful job keeping it together, it would of been tough for everybody seeing their mother, grandmother & greatmother funeral so openly as their did, my heart & thoughts goes out to them all! & no doubt prince phillip & the queen would of both been smiling down at them on how proud they would of been of them all!
Sophie actually stopped and looked for Meghan, waiting for her to catch up. Surprising. But just goes to show what a class act Sophie is! And she doesn't need it to be on camera either!
The children have been taught well.
I enjoy watching them!
Thank you Catherine and William!!!
That lady is just about perfect❤❤❤
The Wales’ are an exceptionally beautiful and caring family!
Sophie is such a caring sweetheart. It's so clear why Her late Majesty has loved her so much. ❤️
The Queen once said that when ever she felt stressed, she would call for Sophie to come over (they don't live far from Windsor Castle) & be with her bc Sophie had a Great Calming Influence on her! It doesn't get any better than that, when your Mother-in-Law, who just happens to be the Queen, says that about you!
I'm happy that apparently it's been planned by Her Majesty, that upon her death, King Charles would bestow the Title & Style of "HRH The Duke of Edinburgh", taking the Title that their Father bore! Of course, in that case, Sophie will be Styled & Titled "HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh"! How Lovely is That? 😊🌷
It’s nice to see that someone in that royal family has compassion for the kids. I know they’re not supposed to show emotion but these are children being groomed and trained for royal duty in the future. They can’t be expected to turn their emotions off completely at such a young age. It takes time to learn how to do that. They were both little troopers who appeared well behaved and disciplined. At least they had a few years to spend with their great grandmother. That’s better than nothing.
You're obv not a royal follower, a lot of protocols have been relaxed over the years, look how Diana's children ran into her arms after she'd been away on royal duties, things change, times change, we still have the pomp and ceremony for state banquets and funerals 😊😊
The world needs more Sophie. She is an amazing, accomplished woman. I just admire her so much.
I do like how close this family is.
Charlotte and George looked so grown up in their finery. And they both showed such dignity. Poor Louie. He's too young to grasp the absolute finality of Great-Grannie's passing. I hope he doesn't lose all memory of her. I was 4 when my Great Grandma died and I only have very shadowy, snippets of memory of her. But then again, she lived 2,000 miles away. With the Queen being so close by, perhaps Louie has many more strong interactions to remember and they will stay with him.
No they did not. Charlotte and George looked like the children they are.
@@NotMykl
Those children, showed more grace and dignity than Harry and Meghan.
rest assured no one will let him forget his great grandmother. I'm sure they will talk of her often.
Sophie is such a sweetheart. A true asset to the RF. Any family would have been lucky to have her in their family.
Edward is the only one who managed to keep a relationship going. He’s the best of the queens kids in my opinion
I can feel Sophie's emotion
Sophie is one of my very favorites....
I love and admire her strength and she knows how to send very direct signals with her eyes. Like daggers towards certain individuals..... to let ‘her’ know not to dare cross Sophie’s boundaries♥️💯👍🌈🌤💐🌸🌺🌼⭐️💖💫
or dare ‘mess’ with any of the RF
To Scout’s Honor: I think your comments are a bit off. Sophie has her act together big time so she is like sending out the Calvary. She can probably handle just about anything well with poise and tact and intelligent good sense. And some people need other people to guide them gently and tactfully. It is NOT about being aggressive.
@@soniadowney7427 You're naive, or stupid, or both.
Sophie is turning out to be a shining star
The Queen's grandchildren much be finding it tough at the moment God bless them and I will say a few prayers for them before I go to bed tonight All the best 👍
Still brakes my heart. Those poor brave little darlings.
Seeing little Princess Charlotte crying absolutely broke me. I just wanted to reach out and give her a hug, and tell her to keep her "gan-gan" in her heart. Losing one's grandparent is so hard on the little ones. God bless them. ❤️🙏
Great grandmother
@@user-dn6sc5ul2x and yet everyone still understands what I meant. Losing *any* grandparent is hard. William and Catherine's children called her "gan-gan".
