September 14, 2022 - 15:20 BST Nichola Murphy Queen Elizabeth II's children and grandchildren, including the Earl and Countess of Wessex, all gathered together for the procession of the Queen's coffin to Westminster Hall on Wednesday.In keeping with the classic mourning colours, Countess Sophie looked elegant in a simple black dress and coordinating stilettos. She styled her hair in an elegant updo and wore understated makeup for what was undoubtedly a very emotional occasion.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the period of mourning will continue until 26 September, so the royal family are expected to continue to step out in customary black or very deep hues – a tradition that Queen Victoria abided by for over 40 years of her life, following the death of her beloved husband Prince Albert.
However, following the outpouring of love from people across the UK, who have been flocking to the Queen's royal residences to leave flowers and heartfelt messages, there have been warnings that queues could be very long.Sophie and her husband Prince Edward, alongside their daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, were among many royals who stepped out to view some of the public's tributes to the Queen over the weekend.
