With the eyes of the world watching their family go through the utmost grief, it must have been an incredibly daunting situation for Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, seven, who paid their respects to their great-grandmother yesterday, both at Westminster Abbey and her committal service at St George's Chapel in Windsor.

With Prince William and Princess Kate's youngest child, Prince Louis, being deemed too young to take part in the momentous occasion, the responsibility fell to their two eldest children to behave appropriately at the historic event.

Following the Queen's funeral, videos quickly began circulating on social media of the royal family - with several moments captured between Prince George and Princess Charlotte going viral on TikTok.
