The young royals will walk behind their parents, the Prince of Wales and Princess of Wales, in the funeral procession into Westminster Abbey.
George, nine, and Charlotte, seven, will travel to the church with their mother Kate, the Princess of Wales, and Camilla, the Queen Consort, by car.

“Over the last ten days, my wife and I have been so deeply touched by the many messages of condolence and support we have received from this country and across the world,” he said.
“In London, Edinburgh, Hillsborough and Cardiff we were moved beyond measure by everyone who took the trouble to come and pay their respects to the lifelong service of my dear mother, the late Queen.”
Over the weekend, Queen Elizabeth’s four children, King Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward gathered at Westminster Hall for a vigil around her coffin.
Four of the late monarch’s great-grandchildren, Savannah Phillips, Isla Phillips, Mia Tindall, and Lena Tindall, also attended the vigil alongside their parents.
Following today’s funeral service, which will start at 8pm AEST, a gun carriage procession will take the Queen’s coffin past Buckingham Palace and arrive at Hyde Park Corner at 1 pm.
The coffin will be moved to a hearse and move towards Windsor Castle, where a committal service will be held at 4 pm at St George’s chapel.
Following the service, the coffin will be lowered into the Royal Vault.
