Prince George and Princess Charlotte, children of William and Kate Middleton and the Prince and Princess of Wales, will attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in Westminster Abbey along with more than 2,000 other guests, according to the BBC.
The procession carrying Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin to the Westminster Abbey, where dignitaries from across the world will assemble to say goodbye to Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, will include George, 9, and his sister, 7.
Louis, the four-year-old sibling of George and Charlotte, is not anticipated to attend the Queen’s funeral because of his young age, according to media reports.
