Senior palace advisers have requested the Prince and Princess of Wales to think about allowing Prince George to attend the State funeral of the Queen day after today due to the fact of the powerful symbolic message it would send.
At the smooth age of nine, and having just overcome the daunting prospect of beginning a new school, George is now the 2nd in line to the throne.
With this in mind, aides have cautioned it would be exact for the public to see the younger Prince – who affectionately known as the Queen ‘Gan Gan’ – and is the future of the Monarchy.
One insider said: ‘Courtiers are keen for Prince George to be at the funeral in some capacity, if solely to reassure the state of the order of succession.’
Another palace supply added: ‘It’s currently under discussion. No selection has been made yet.’
The teens of the Prince and Princess of Wales have but to be seen in public considering that the Queen’s demise was once introduced on Thursday September 8.



Two of the late Queen’s other great-grandchildren, Mia and Lena Tindall, had been at Westminster Hall on Friday for her lying-in-state. They have been in the gallery with their mother and father Zara and Mike Tindall as their grandmother, Princess Anne, took her place alongside her three brothers for a silent vigil beside the Queen’s coffin.
There used to be no signal of George, Charlotte or Louis at final night’s vigil by means of the Queen’s grandchildren – and the Prince of Wales might have proper cause to think about whether or not courtiers’ suggestions to involve a nine-year-old in tomorrow’s funeral are wise.
William spoke movingly last week about how on foot in the back of his grandmother’s coffin as it left Buckingham Palace for the final time on Wednesday had evoked poignant reminiscences of his mom Princess Diana’s funeral 25 years ago.



William and Harry, then 15 and 12, determined their grief thrust into the public gaze when they accompanied Diana’s coffin along the same route down the Mall and Whitehall. It grew to be one of the defining pictures of the day and left a lasting impact.
William has earlier stated it was once ‘one of the hardest matters I’ve ever done’, whilst Harry said: ‘I don’t think any baby be asked to do that, below any circumstances.’
Last week, William confided to well-wishers that reprising the ceremonial procession for his grandmother had been ‘challenging’ and ‘brought lower back a few memories’ – so he might be eager to guard his very own children’s grief from the identical public scrutiny.





It is anticipated that tomorrow’s lawsuits will be watched by means of the biggest-ever international TV audience, and the inclusion of Prince George would appeal to particular attention. That said, the Prince and Princess of Wales have, in latest months, more and more protected their adolescents in public events.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte, seven, performed starring roles in the Platinum Jubilee celebrations this summer.
They accompanied their dad and mom on a day trip to Wales and had been seen on the balcony at Buckingham Palace. Even four-year-old Prince Louis attended the Platinum Party at the Palace concert.
George used to be stated to have a close relationship with his great-grandmother. The Queen marked his ninth birthday in July via sharing a picture of the pair together on the balcony at Buckingham Palace at the Jubilee weekend.
