Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank were among the royal family members in London at Queen Elizabeth II‘s state funeral at Westminster Abbey on Monday, September 19.
They entered alongside her sister, Princess Beatrice, and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi before taking their seats in the second row. Eugenie, 32, and Brooksbank, 36, sat behind her cousin Prince William and his wife, Princess Kate, and two of their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Eugenie and Brooksbank married in October 2018 and welcomed son August in February 2021.
Monday’s service came after several days of the queen’s coffin lying in state. A brief procession from Westminster Hall took the casket across the street to Westminster Abbey, the state funeral began.
After the service, a procession began from the famed church to Wellington Arch before leaving London for Windsor. The final destination will be Windsor, where the state hearse will take the queen’s casket to St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. A committal service will then take place before she is laid to rest in a tomb with Prince Philip, who died at age 99 in April 2021.
The state funeral marks the end of the official mourning period, which has involved several services honoring the late monarch. Eugenie has attended many, starting on September 10 in Scotland. The queen’s granddaughter was seen at Balmoral Castle two days after the queen’s death at age 96.
She then attended a remembrance service at Crathie Kirk with her father, Prince Andrew, Princess Anne and Prince Edward as well as sister Princess Beatrice and cousins Lady Louise Windsor, Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips.
Eugenie was comforted by the Duke of York as she started to cry while looking at tributes left for Elizabeth
