More on the Queen's funeral
The pair had been seated together between Harry’s wife Meghan Markle, and Charlotte’s mum, the Princess of Wales.
It was originally unknown whether Charlotte and her older brother Prince George would attend their great-grandmother’s state funeral, or committal service, but they were present at both.
Their late inclusion is believed to be the idea of parents Prince William and Kate – who believed it important they attend the historic occasion.
In moving scenes, George, nine, and Charlotte, seven, looked solemn as they walked alongside their parents into Westminster Abbey.
The young royals were snapped during both cute, and heartbreaking, moments throughout the day.
Kate Middleton was seen placing a reassuring, gentle hand on the shoulders of both Prince George and Princess Charlotte as they entered the memorial.
At one point, royal fans spotted Charlotte appearing to remind her brother about royal protocol at the Queen’s state funeral.
According to lip readers, she told George he needed to bow down when Her Majesty’s coffin came past.
There was another moment where wee Charlotte looked to her aunt, Sophie Wessex, and copied her as she curtsied.
Royalists gushed on Twitter over the “adorable moment” and “touching show of respect”.
