All of Queen Elizabeth's Grandchildren Will Stand Vigil Beside Her Coffin on Saturday

Prince William may now be the heir apparent to the throne, but he's not the Queen's only grandchild. In fact, Queen Elizabeth had eight grandkids (not to mention twelve great-grandchildren, including newest additions Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor).

On the Saturday before her funeral, all eight will stand vigil beside her coffin in Westminster Hall. Per Buckingham Palace, Prince William will stand at the head, flanked by his cousins Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips; Prince Harry will stand at the foot, flanked by Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, with the Queen's youngest grandchildren, Lady Louise, and James, Viscount Severn at the middle of the coffin. Both Harry and William will be in uniform, "at the King's request."

Per the Palace, "The grandchildren, at the King's invitation, are very keen to pay their respects—just as their parents are doing the evening before."

Below, are all of the Queen's granddaughters and grandsons from oldest to youngest, plus, how they're related to the late British monarch.

Age: 44

Parents: Princess Anne and Captain Mark Philips

The Queen's oldest grandchild, Peter Phillips, tends to stay out of the spotlight, but just a few years ago, his daughter Savannah stole the show at this year's Trooping the Colour, laughing and clapping with Princess Charlotte and playfully telling Prince George to stop singing during the national anthem. In 2020, Peter and his wife Autumn confirmed that they are separated; they have two children together: Savannah and her little sister Isla.

Age: 41

Parents: Princess Anne and Captain Mark Philips

Princess Anne's only daughter Zara is a skilled equestrian (a love of horses seems to run in the family). She and her husband Mike Tindall have three children: Mia, Lena Elizabeth, who is named after the Queen, and their son Lucas Philip, whom Zara gave birth to at home in March 2021.

Age: 40

Parents: Prince Charles and Princess Diana

Heir to the throne, Prince William is a full-time working royal, continuing to attend engagements and taking virtual meetings even amid the pandemic. William and his wife Catherine have three children together: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Age: 37

Parents: Prince Charles and Princess Diana

In early 2020, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan made the decision to step back from their working royal roles. They moved to California with their son Archie, where they launched a new non-profit and production company called Archewell. He welcomed a daughter, Lilibet 'Lili' Diana, in June 2021.

Age: 34

Parents: Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson

Princess Beatrice is another a non-working royal, who has pursued a career in the business world. During summer 2020, she wed her partner Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in a private wedding ceremony in Windsor. And in September 2021, she became a mom, welcoming her first child with husband Edoardo: Sienna Elizabeth. Sienna's middle name is a tribute to Queen Elizabeth.

Age: 32

Parents: Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York

Princess Eugenie is another royal grandchild who works outside the palace, and over the past few years, she's established a career in the art world. In 2021, Eugenie welcomed her first child with her husband Jack Brooksbank, a baby boy named August.

Age: 18

Parents: Prince Edward and Sophie, the Countess of Wessex

Initially, the Queen's youngest granddaughter had no idea her granny was the monarch. Her mother Sophie shared that it was a bit of a "shock to the system" for the young royal when she found out. “I don’t think she had grasped that perhaps there was only one Queen.”

Age: 14

Parents: Prince Edward and Sophie, the Countess of Wessex

Aside from a few family appearances, the public hasn't seen too much of the Queen's youngest grandchild, and that's by design. "For their sakes, to grow up as normally as possible we felt was quite important,” James's mother Sophie has said.
