The sweet unseen moment of reassurance Prince Harry gave niece Charlotte at St George's Chapel

A sweet moment between Princess Charlotte and Prince Harry during the Queen's committal service at St George's Chapel has been shared. The seven-year-old was sitting beside her uncle during the more intimate service for the family at Windsor.

At one point, as the choir sang, Charlotte readjusted her hat before looking up at Harry. She briefly looked up at him, caught his eye and he smiled at the young princess.

The moment was noticed by royal fans who described the moment between uncle and niece as "cute" and "sweet" on social media.

Another said: “Cute little smile between Harry and little Charlotte [heart emoji].”

While a third added: “Harry and Charlotte sharing a little moment while the choir sings. So sweet”.

Princess Charlotte was joined by her nine-year-old brother Prince George at the funeral and the two young royals walked behind their great grandmother’s coffin as it entered Westminster Abbey for the funeral on Monday.

Kate opened up about her children’s reactions to their great-grandmother’s death as she spoke to Governor-General of Australia David Hurley at a reception at Buckingham Palace yesterday.

The Princess of Wales said that the young Prince Louis was struggling to understand things.

Recalling what she told him, the Governor-General said: “The younger one is now asking questions like, 'do you think we can still play these games when we go to Balmoral?' and things like that, because she's not going to be there.”

However she said George, who will one day be King, is "sort of now realising how important his great-grandmother was and what is going on".
