Queen and Royal Family alone but for the gaze of the world
After a week of private grieving, this was the moment the Royal Family’s mourning became public. …
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall arrived first, casting long, sharply defined shadows on the green of the lawn, followed quickly by the others, Princes William and Harry walking together. The group of 25 or 26 stood in the centre of the lawn for many minutes, all clad in mourning black and, at last, relaxed and smiled as they greeted each other in solace and open affection.
