Prince George was comforted by his great-aunt Sophie, Countess of Wessex during Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in London on Monday.

As the 9-year-old left Westminster Abbey alongside his sister, Princess Charlotte, and their mother, Kate Middleton, Sophie rested an arm over the young prince’s shoulder.

Prince Edward’s wife, 57, wore a black dress and matching fascinator for the touching moment, while her great-nephew sported a navy blue suit and a black tie.

George and Charlotte, 7, arrived at the church with Middleton, 40, and Queen Consort Camilla.

Their dad, Prince William, came separately as he joined King Charles III, Prince Harry and more family members in a procession from Westminster Hall behind Her Majesty’s casket.

The little ones took their own places behind the coffin once the procession made its way inside the church, walking in front of Harry, 38, and Meghan Markle.

Prince Louis, who made headlines in June for his Platinum Jubilee antics, stayed at home due to his young age.

While Middleton told onlookers last week that the 4-year-old is struggling to comprehend the sovereign’s passing and “asking questions,” his older brother has a better understanding of the tragedy.

When George turned 7, the heir had learned that he will one day become king, according to royal author Robert Lacey.
