Photographers documented Prince William driving Andrew, the Duke of York; Sophie, Countess of Wessex; and Edward, Earl of Wessex to the Queen's residence at Balmoral on Thursday amid reports she was under medical supervision. 

The Queen's death was announced shortly after the photo was taken. 

Prince Harry also traveled to Balmoral to be with the royal family.

King Charles III delivered a prerecorded speech on Friday, his first as monarch. 

He mourned his "dear mama" in his address, announced that Prince William would officially become the Prince of Wales, and sent love to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Prince William invited Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to join him and Kate Middleton for a walkabout at Windsor Castle on Saturday, a Kensington palace spokesperson confirmed to The Times of London.

"The Prince of Wales thought it was an important show of unity at an incredibly difficult time for the family," the spokesperson said to The Times.

The "fab four" looked at flowers and gifts left by the public as a group.

The Princess Royal accompanied her mother's coffin as it traveled from Balmoral to Edinburgh on Sunday. 

Princess Anne was composed but clearly emotional during the six-hour car ride, which she took with her husband Sir Timothy Laurence. 

The royal was also photographed curtsying to her mother's coffin as it was carried into the throne room at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

King Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward followed their mother's coffin down the Royal Mile in Edinburgh as it processed to St Giles' Cathedral. 

The group looked somber as they trailed their mother, though the procession was briefly interrupted when a heckler, who was later arrested, yelled that Andrew was "a sick man."

The Queen's children honored her with the Vigil of the Princes.

For about 10 minutes on Monday, the Queen's four children joined the Royal Company of Archers and stood guard around their mother's coffin. 

The tradition of the Vigil of the Princes began with the death of King George V in 1936, and the vigil also took place for the Queen Mother in 2002. 

The Independent reported that Princess Anne is the first female royal to take part in the tradition. 

King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla traveled to Northern Ireland for a Service of Reflection in the Queen's honor.

A run-in with a corgi seemed to bring a smile to the king's face.

As King Charles and Camilla greeted well-wishers at Hillsborough Castle on Tuesday, the new monarch ran into a corgi among the crowd.

The dog probably reminded King Charles of his mother, who owned over 30 corgis during her reign. He stopped to greet the dog, smiling sweetly at the animal.

Prince Andrew is inheriting two of the Queen's remaining corgis. 

Members of the royal family walked behind the Queen's coffin as it traveled from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall on Wednesday.

The brothers' closeness during the procession was markedly different from their similar walk ahead of Prince Philip's funeral in 2021, where Harry and William were separated by their cousin.
