Scotland to Windsor, Princess Anne becomes part of Queen's entire final journey
Queen Elizabeth II's Funeral: Princess Anne flew to Scotland and was present for her mother’s final hours at Balmoral Castle.
Princess Anne, one of Elizabeth II's four children, is now the Queen's only child following the monarch's hearse to Windsor in a car. Elizabeth's son King Charles III and his three younger siblings, Anne, Andrew and Edward, marched behind the gun carriage that bore the queen's coffin to Westminster Abbey early in the day during the monarch's state funeral.
But Princess Anne- often termed the most hardworking royal- is the only child to accompany every leg of the Queen’s final journey from Balmoral Castle in Scotland since the monarch’s death on September 8.
Princess Anne flew to Scotland and was present for her mother’s final hours at Balmoral Castle.
