Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral: How Princess Anne made hory with her outfit at the queen’s vigil

Queen Elizabeth II’s death has brought the British royal family together after a long time. While Prince William and Kate Middleton showed a united front with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — who were in the UK for some charity events and extended their trip after the queen’s passing — Elizabeth’s four children were also photographed in public together for the first time since her death in Balmoral last week.

The BBC called it “a poignant sight” — the four siblings walking behind the coffin of their mother with the world watching them as they mourn publicly. Princess Anne, in particular, stood out, because of her outfit.

The second-born and only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh — who has accompanied her mother’s casket ever since it left Balmoral — was dressed in her Royal Navy ceremonial uniform.
According to the BBC report, she will continue to stay with the coffin until the queen lies in state in London’s Westminster Hall.

Anne, 72, reportedly made hory as she took her place beside the coffin during the Vigil, becoming the first female member of the British royal family to “stand guard” during the ceremony that happened in Scotland on September 12.

According to a Us Weekly report, she has been the only woman in her family who has worn the uniform during state occasions.
