BREAKING NEWS: His Majesty, King Charles III, and his three siblings will be standing Vigil around their mother, Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II’s catafalque, moments from now. They have the next Watch.

Please tune on live Sky News (YouTube).
Here they come!
The Vigil of The Children. #QueenElizabeth
His Majesty, King Charles III. HRH The Princess Anne, the Princess Royal. HRH The Prince Andrew, the Duke of York. HRH The Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.

They keep their mother guard, like she did so long, for them. #QueenElizabeth
Children of a sitting monarch are referred to as “The Prince (Name)” “The Princess (Name)” when writing their full titles, to denote that their father or mother was Sovereign. Grandchildren of the monarch are not so designated. #QueenElizabeth
Prince Andrew, Duke of York, was given special permission to dress in his Vice-Admiral’s uniform, one last time.
The Queen’s children are joined by more than 30 members of the extended House of Windsor. They are standing just behind the balcony in Westminster Hall. #QueenElizabeth
Mum: “These are the luckiest people on earth right now. Those in #TheQueue.”
My word, that was quick! The Vigil of the Children is over. #QueenElizabeth
It kills me that one day, we will see George, Charlotte and Louis doing this for William. 💔 #QueenElizabeth
Applause breaks out as the Royal Family leave Westminster Hall. #QueenElizabeth

I leave you with this image. The Vigil of the Princesses. Moving. Splendid. Beautiful. Image
Poor Princess Eugenie didn’t make it in the shot, so here she is. Image
Notice the matching headbands.

BREAKING NEWS: The Vigil of the Grandchildren is live. Please tune in on Sky News (YouTube). #QueenElizabeth Image
This is an incredible moment, folks. Touching beyond words.
That young kid you see is James, Viscount Severn. Prince Edward’s and Sophie’s youngest. And the Queen’s youngest grandchild. Image

Catherine is super blessed by having such a rapport with her in-laws. ImageImage
I give a lot of credit to William about his wife being so loved by her in-laws. He had as much animosity towards Camilla that Harry still has. But he overcame it for the sake of the family and the crown.
So instead of Catherine seething towards Camilla in a show of emotional support to William, like the other woman does for Harry, they forged a new bond together. Are all the hatchets buried? Nah. But the maturity to interact without anger is important. Something Harry can’t do.

Guys, guys! The Royal Family visited #TheQueue! ImageImage
Lord, this was just the right gesture to make. Most of those stalwart people in #TheQueue know they it’ll be a long haul. 24 hours to see the Queen, IF they get to see her. To get a surprise visit by William and Charles is ALMOST a sop.
The lady on the left photo who handed Paddington to Charles came all the way from PERU to do so. The Queen touched everyone. She just wasn’t the People’s Queen.

SHE WAS THE WORLD’S QUEEN. #TheQueue

🧵Thread on the Lore of Royal Funerals.
Amongst the most impressive facets of the topic of royalty, is the pomp and circumstance attached to their final farewells.
I was made acutely aware of that two days ago, during the Procession of Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II’s final ride from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where she is Lying-in-State.

I leave you with this image. If you want a royal Major Johnny Thompson equivalent, look no further than King Michael of Romania. Every bit as masculine. And with an uniform too! YOWZA.
Dedicated family man. Just look at that expression.
I’ll tell you more about him later.
