Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie created confusion among royal admirers when they appeared to leave the burial of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, earlier than expected.

The two princesses attended the historic state funeral at Westminster Abbey, wearing black attire and appearing visibly distraught.

As the funeral service came to a close, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were seen rising from their seats before other members of the royal family.

Their mother, Sarah Ferguson, seemed inclined to join them but eventually remained seated.

This happened just before the Queen’s coffin was carried out of the Abbey.

Viewers watching the funeral on television were perplexed by the apparent early departure of the princesses, despite their presence outside with the other royals as the casket exited the Abbey.

Social media was abuzz with questions about their sudden exit.

“Anyone know why Eugenie and Beatrice left the ceremony midway?”

one fan tweeted.

Another person questioned whether Sarah Ferguson had received orders not to leave.

The Princess Royal, Duke of York, and Earl of Wessex, along with King Charles III, followed their mother’s coffin as it was transported from Westminster Hall to the Abbey.

Within hours of the symbolic rite’s conclusion, tens of thousands of people flocked to London to pay their final respects.

The late monarch’s coffin has now begun its journey from Westminster Abbey to Windsor Castle, where she will be reunited with her beloved husband.

While millions of people around the world watch the ceremonies on TV, hundreds of thousands of well-wishers have traveled to London, lining the path across the metropolis to bid their final farewell.

After the official funeral, King Charles and his siblings walked behind the casket as it departed Westminster Abbey, while other members of the royal family were in a car.

During the service, Charles was visibly moved and appeared on the verge of tears as the national song played.

Prince George was also seen being comforted by his mother, the Princess of Wales.

The wreath placed on the Queen’s casket was personalized with a note from the King, which read, “In cherished and loving memory.”

Currently, the coffin is being transported to Wellington Arch, located at the intersection of Hyde Park, where it will be loaded into a hearse and driven to St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

At four o’clock, a publicly broadcast committal ceremony will take place at the chapel, followed by a private interment service attended by senior members of the royal family.
