Summary
And so begins a nation’s long goodbye to a fallen monarch. The late Queen Elizabeth’s procession kicked off yesterday at Buckingham Palace, and served as the setting for a bit of a family reunion, as the Queen's children and grandchildren accompanied their family matriarch to Westminster, where she will lie in state until Monday. Amid rumors of a “Royal Rift,” Prince William and Harry walked side-by-side, sparking speculation that the two bros are buds again. And while the massive crowds lining the street showered Elizabeth with love and respect, Prince Andrew - making a rare public appearance - wasn’t so lucky. His presence inspired derisive chants from the crowd. We have to wonder though, with a new Royal hierarchy now in place, is this the last we’ll see of these grand, traditional send-offs?
