On Saturday evening, Princess Eugenie was joined by her family as she attended a vigil in Westminster Hall where she paid her respects to her late grandmother the Queen. The princess put on a calm display as she stood beside the late monarch's coffin with her relatives - including her older sister Princess Beatrice and her cousin Zara Tindall.

While adhering to royal funeral protocol, the princess wore a knee-length buttoned-up black coat designed by Misha Nonoo, which she paired with a pair of black suede pumps from Gianvito Rossi - both of which the royal has worn on previous outings.

She styled her thick auburn tresses into a simple chic bun. A black fascinator completed her monochrome aesthetic, in addition to a custom black mourning veil crafted from delicate netting. A pair of black tights rounded off her traditional mourning attire.

The vigil lasted for fifteen minutes in total. The Prince of Wales stood at the head of the formation, while the Duke of Sussex stood at the foot. At King Charles' request, both brothers donned traditional military uniform.

Princess Eugenie, Peter Philips, Zara Tindall, Princess Beatrice, Lady Louise and Viscount Severn stood at the middle of the coffin. The grandchildren paid their respects to the late monarch just a day after their parents, who held their own vigil on Friday night.

Notably, the grandchildren's spouses were not in attendance. Princess Kate, Meghan Markle, Mike Tindall, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and Jack Brooksbank, did not take part in the vigil – allowing the grandchildren to come together without their wives and husbands.

However, royal watchers will be seeing the royal's spouses present at the Queen’s funeral on Monday. At 10:44 am, the coffin will be transported to Westminster Abbey, carried on the State Gun Carriage of the Royal Navy, just as her father King George VI was.
