From the unforgettable images of her emotional children and grandchildren walking behind her coffin, to the bittersweet shots of Prince George and Princess Charlotte sitting solemnly in the pews of Westminster Abbey, it was incredibly moving to see the world farewell the Queen in a magnificent ceremony that did her remarkable reign justice. Though it screened late at night here in Aotearoa, I know I certainly wasn’t the only Kiwi to sit up on the couch for hours, drinking endless cups of tea as I took in every moment of Her Majesty’s funeral. To mark the historic occasion, the Woman’s Day team has created a special 16-page mini mag capturing all the touching events from the official 10 days of mourning leading up to the Queen’s final send-off.

Royal news BEHIND PALACE WALLS While there’s sadly still no signs of a genuine truce between the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, sources say William “tried his best” to make his younger brother feel included at their beloved grandmother’s farewell. “Wills is the first to admit he no longer trusts Harry and won’t be alone with him, but he’s not heartless,” reports a palace insider. “He was willing to put their issues aside in honour of the Queen. They’re both grieving.” William, 40, was the only family member seen engaging with Harry’s wife, the Duchess of Sussex, when he helped Meghan to her seat at St George’s Chapel before the family’s committal service.
