Lady Louise was sat behind her father

Earlier on Saturday, Louise joined her mother, Sophie the Countess of Wessex, Princess Anne's husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, and the Queen’s grandchildren Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie at Balmoral.

The Princess Royal, the Duke of York and Earl of Wessex had been at Balmoral since Thursday after news the Queen has taken a turn.

On Friday, Princess Beatrice, Eugenie and Zara Tindall, who sadly couldn't make it in time to Balmoral, travelled to London. Eugenie is believed to have flown in from her new home in Portugal, where she lives with her husband Jack Brooksbank and their son, August.

Princess Beatrice has an especially close relationship with Her Majesty, with her grandmother among the few guests at her lockdown wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in July 2020.

The family has moved into the CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club as Jack is now working with property tycoon Mike Meldman, who is managing a 300-home development.
