And thousands of obeisances have been made since Her Majesty’s death, and Charlotte was one of them.
She captioned the sweet Instagram post “I have the right photo in storage with all my dad’s memorabilia. I have to dig it out because I have to frame it and tell Noah how wonderful Her Majesty Our Queen Elizabeth II was.”
‘I feel so honored and proud to have been able to give her flowers. I was so nervous and my mother tried to get me to take my braid out of my hair, but I said no, I think the Queen will like it.’
“She was so sweet that I immediately felt calm… this is such a great loss to our country, it really won’t be the same.”
