Since news broke of the Queen's sad passing on Thursday 8 September, the senior royals have had outings almost every day to thank well-wishers for their condolences and to pay their respects to Her Majesty. It's no wonder the Princess may be feeling tired under the circumstances.
No doubt she will also be comforting her husband who has lost his grandmother, as well as their children who loved their great-grandmother the Queen deeply and may not fully understand her passing.

William also spoke of his late grandmother and her funeral on Monday.
Greg Gifford, 31, said: "One of the key things I took away from what he said was how the Queen will definitely be looking down on the whole funeral service.
"He said she would be interested in the detail of the soldiers, how the drill is carried out, it’s precision, our dress, things like that."
There were 64 members of the Canadian Armed Forces and 28 members of the Australian Defence Force at the centre, who are in the UK to take part in Monday's procession alongside British soldiers.
