The sombre occasion was a big day for the young royal
Monday 19 September marked a big day for Princess Charlotte. Not only was it a terribly sad day for the royal family, but it also heralded three major milestones for the seven-year-old.

The funeral of the monarch saw the Princess of Wales' daughter sing for the first time, alongside her brother Prince George. The young royals were seen singing, joining in with their parents the Prince and Princess of Wales as well as the other members of the royal family.

The funeral also marked the first time Princess Charlotte wore a formal hat. The hat was a wide-brimmed style and had a smart bow at the back. It was thought to be by Jane Taylor, the brand that her mother, Princess Kate, often heads to for her incredible headbands.

Charlotte also wore the 'Girls Black Wool Coat' by Ancar, black tights, and black ballet pumps.
Princess Charlotte's third milestone was the wearing of a brooch – the first time she has worn jewellery for a royal engagement.

She embellished her black dress with a subtle diamond brooch in the shape of a horseshoe, thought to be a gentle nod to Her Majesty who adored horses. Indeed, the late monarch was known for her passion for both horses and horse racing and had her first riding lesson at the age of three.

The young royal, who delighted the public with his playful antics on the Buckingham Palace balcony during the Queen's Jubilee, is likely to be considered too young to attend the ceremony.
