Royal Sibling Disagreement at Queen Elizabeth’s Funeral Procession

Prince George IX and Princess Charlotte VII, the eldest children of the Prince and Princess of Wales, surprised onlookers as they took part in Queen Elizabeth's official funeral procession.

Despite their reputation for angelic behavior, royal children are known to have their moments of discord from time to time.

According to My London, a similar incident occurred during the funeral of their great-grandmother.

Last month, the Princess of Wales, accompanied by her son George and daughter Charlotte, joined the royal family in bidding their final farewells to Queen Elizabeth II at the royal funeral and committal service.

Following the poignant ceremony, the young siblings stood with their parents at Wellington Arch to witness the transfer of the Queen's casket to the State Hearst before its journey to Windsor.

A lip-reader, Jeremy Freeman, observed George attempting to playfully pinch his sister as they waited behind King Charles and other senior royals.

The Princess let out a cry of surprise before turning to her brother and exclaiming, “Ow!”

Meghan Markle and other royals found the siblings' interaction amusing, but Queen Consort Camilla appeared displeased, frowning and gesturing towards Charlotte before instructing Catherine to “Take her.”

The televised incident captured the attention of keen observers who noted the disagreement between Charlotte and George.

Social media users commented on the exchange, with one tweeting, “Looks like Prince George and Princess Charlotte have a small disagreement.”

Another viewer questioned, “Why did Charlotte say when she turned back around it was wow?

Ow!

Cow?”

Lip-readers also caught another cute moment between the siblings at the Arch, where Charlotte seemed to remind George of royal protocol, mouthing, “You need to bow.”

George, dressed smartly in a navy suit, acknowledged his sister's instruction with a nod.

Despite the sibling squabble, parenting experts commended Catherine for her handling of the situation during the state funeral.

Angela Karanja, creator of Raising Remarkable Teenagers and a parenting expert, praised Catherine's approach, emphasizing the importance of connecting with children before correcting them.

Karanja highlighted the moments of connection between Catherine and her children, particularly noting how Catherine's subtle correction of Charlotte's behavior was done with care and composure in a public setting.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte are no strangers to attending public royal events, some of which are broadcast live on television.

Their behavior is usually exemplary, and they are expected to accompany their parents to King Charles III's coronation next year.

As second and third in line to the throne, the siblings are viewed as preparing for their future roles as senior royals through such experiences.

In past royal engagements, the young royals have interacted with fans and participated in events alongside other members of the royal family, showcasing their growing familiarity with royal duties and protocols.
