Prince Andrew Joins The British Royal Family To Thank Well-Wishers Outside Of Balmoral
The Duke of York thanked people for visiting Balmoral after the death of his mother the Queen, saying: “We’ve been allowed one day, now we start the process of handing her on.”
The crowd of well-wishers at Balmoral broke out into a round of applause as the royal family waved to them. The family were joined by the Countess of Wessex, Anne’s husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, and the Queen’s grandchildren Peter Phillips, Zara Tindall, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and Lady Louise Windsor for a walkabout after attending a prayer service at Crathie Kirk. The family spent just under ten minutes intently reading the tributes and admiring the flowers before they returned inside Balmoral Castle.
Queen Elizabeth’s funeral will take place on September 19th. King Charles approved an order that the day of the funeral will be a public holiday throughout the UK. It has been said the Kind and Queen Consort are keen to meet as many people as possible in the next few weeks and share in their grief.
The Queen’s coffin currently lies at the ballroom of Balmoral Castle. It is draped in the Standard of Scotland and has allowed Balmoral staff to pay their last respects. The coffin will be taken by road to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh where staff at the palace will also get the chance to pay their respects.
