The crowd of well-wishers at Balmoral broke out into a round of applause as the royal family waved to them. Three of the Queen’s four children – the Princess Royal, the Duke of York and Earl of Wessex – joined the Countess of Wessex, Anne’s husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, and the Queen’s grandchildren Peter Phillips, Zara Tindall, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and Lady Louise Windsor for a walkabout after attending a prayer service at Crathie Kirk. The family spent just under 10 minutes intently reading the tributes and admiring the flowers before they returned inside Balmoral Castle.
