King Charles III, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward recently conducted the Vigil of the Princes for their mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Her coffin was laid in state at St. Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland. Her state funeral is set for September 19th.

Princess Anne actually made history at the ritual which has only been performed twice in British history. It was performed for King George V in 1936 and during the Queen Mother’s funeral events in 2002.

Since this ritual has only happened twice, Princess Anne is actually the first female royal to join the watch. She is the late Queen’s only daughter and joined her brothers, including now King Charles for all of the events.
