Prince George and Princess Charlotte, aged 9 and 7 respectively, attended their great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral and even took part in the procession alongside their parents, Kate Middleton and Prince William.

However, their youngest brother, 4-year-old Prince Louis, was notably absent.

Kate and William made the decision not to have Louis attend the solemn event, considering his young age.

While there is no official rule prohibiting children of a certain age from attending such occasions, it is ultimately up to the parents to determine if their child can handle the responsibilities that come with royal events.

This is not the first time Prince Louis has been absent from a funeral.

He also did not attend the funeral for Prince Philip last year, making his absence at the Queen’s funeral this time unsurprising.

Reports suggest that Louis may struggle to fully comprehend the significance of these events and how his great-grandmother’s passing could impact the family.

Kate reportedly shared with Australia’s Governor General David Hurley that Louis expressed concerns about whether the Queen’s death would affect their plans to travel to Balmoral.

In a conversation with Mr. Hurley, Kate mentioned that Louis asked questions like, “Do you think we can still play these games when we go to Balmoral?

Because she’s not going to be there.”

It seems that Louis is grappling with the concept of the Queen’s absence.

On the other hand, Prince George, the future King, is starting to grasp the importance of his great-grandmother and the current situation.

During public appearances outside Windsor Palace, Kate mentioned that George is beginning to understand the significance of the Queen’s role and the impact of her passing.

The Princess of Wales, as she is now known, has recently been seen attending engagements with her husband and other members of the royal family.

Reflecting on the younger generation’s understanding, she shared a touching conversation she had with Louis: “I was really sad when I found out, and Louis said, ‘Mummy, don’t worry, because now Gangan is with great-grandpa.’

Children have an incredible perception.”

The endearing nickname “Gangan” for the Queen originated from Prince George, and it has since been adopted by his younger siblings.

The children’s ability to comprehend the situation at their tender ages is remarkable.

Their understanding of the Queen’s passing and the comfort they find in the thought of her being reunited with their great-grandfather is truly extraordinary.

As we ponder on this news, it raises the question: Will Prince Louis miss his great-grandma, the Queen?
