Princess Anne was the first woman to take part in this tradition. My heart goes out to them all.

[Mrsknightful]

I could literally cry looking at princess Anne. Strong like her mama. I bet she is so proud.

[spikesgirl]

I really admire her family. Can you imagine how awful it must be to have to show such strength nonstop since she died? I lost my mom and curled up in a ball for a week. I pray for strength and peace for you all. You are doing her proud.

I can’t even imagine standing next to my mother’s coffin, stifling my emotion, while people walk by to view . This family is incredibly strong.

[bluemoonpanther]

You can easily see that Anne is devastated... She is really sad for the passing of her mom

[emyoffiong]

No matter how long a mother lives, the pain 💔 😢 of loss can never be mitigated. Be consoled ye royals

[hayleyperkins]

They lost their dear Mama.. I can't begin to think how they all must feel, with so much pressure to keep strong, putting on a brave face for all. Very sad.

[iamspeaking]

If we could all pause for a moment and imagine having to stand next to the coffin that holds your mother. Personally, it is enormity of grief that I feel having lost my mother. And imagining having to do this brings me even more grief. I’m sure many will say this is a duty that they’ve been groomed for and to do. There is absolutely nothing that prepares you for the lost of a dearly beloved family member, nothing at all.

The loss they must be feeling is so great and yet they are able to stay stoic. My heart goes out to them. No matter how old we get, losing a parent is one of the greatest sadness we will ever feel

[ohnonotagain]

It's a hard 12 days for them. Having duties helps with grief.
It takes 6 months for every year invested when you lose a loved one 💔 to begin to heal.
May their good memories of her carry them thru their darkest days.

[michelleadamchak]

This just breaks my heart. Deepest sympathies to the Queen's family.

[suejardine]

I am just really glad for Anne that she was included in this, she is devastated and wants nothing but to grieve

[patkern]

My heart goes out to her children. I lost my parents after I was a grandmother myself and I can attest that you are never old enough to be an orphan. Rest in Peace gracious Queen and comfort for those who grieve.

[annconforti]

Bless their hearts. How hard this week had to be for the Queens family! 👸 My deepest condolences!

[littleshaman]

A beautiful show of solidarity and respect ❤️🙏 May the Queen rest with God and the angels.

[greenaliens]

This really hurts my heart. They should be at home, crying their eyes out and going through the mourning process with family. I just want to give them each a hug, so sad for them.

[connierichards]

Wonderful. Anne is a testament to the sense of honor and duty the queen installed in her children and family. An asset to the crown and country. Long live The King and The Princess Royal.

[asmirahim]

Their heart must be be absolutely broken standing beside their mothers coffin but proud to see the immeasurable love and respect shown to her by everyone that has come by to see her.

[trinidadarriola]

Rest In Peace, Your Majesty, You will never be forgotten

[naomimitchell]

I can't imagine how hard that is to stand there so composed 💔
