Royal fans believe they saw Prince George ‘wiping away tears’ during the Queen‘s funeral service today (Monday September 19).
It was revealed on Sunday (September 18) evening that George and his sister Princess Charlotte would attend today’s state event.
The move surprised some observers, who claimed the royal siblings are too young to attend proceedings.
Their younger brother Prince Louis, four, however, was not present.
It was the first time the second in line to the throne and his sister had been seen since the Queen’s passing 11 days ago.
But while Charlotte was praised for her sweet tribute to her great-grandmother at Westminster Abbey, others watching at home reckon they spotted her brother sobbing.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte at the Queen’s funeral
George and Charlotte arriving for the funeral proved heartrending for many following the service on TV.
George, nine, and Charlotte, seven, arrived with their mother at Westminster Abbey with their mother Kate Middleton and Queen Consort Camilla.
They later held their parents’ hands as they walked in the procession behind the late monarch’s coffin.
And following the service, as the Queen’s departed and made its way up Pall Mall, the young royals travelled by car with Camilla and the new Princess of Wales.
However, at one point, some fans claim they saw George rubbing his eye to wipe away tears.
