Fans were left devastated by the scenes this afternoon. One wrote: “Is Princess Charlotte crying? Stop!”
Another said: “I didn’t think I would cry & then heard the pipes start & then saw Princess Charlotte crying as the coffin drew up at the end as it went from the Gun Carriage to the Car.”
Charlotte’s older brother Prince George, nine, was also comforted during the funeral service when he appeared emotional.
The Princess of Wales placed a reassuring hand on her eldest son’s leg after he rubbed his eye.
He was sat in between his mum and dad and Charlotte, sat next to Kate, looked on.
And there were emotional scenes when the two children entered Westminster Abbey together with their parents.
They had been expected to be absent from the funeral but it is understood the new Prince and Princess of Wales decided it was important for them to be there.

George was pictured singing The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended as he stood between his parents.
