William introduced his eight-year-old son to Westminster Abbey’s chapter, or governing body, lined up close to the great West Door.
After the Duke of Cambridge shook hands with the clergy the young royal, looking slightly nervous, did the same.
Kate followed with Charlotte, six, putting a hand on her back and ushering her smiling daughter forward as she was introduced.
Charlotte also looked a little apprehensive and at the end clutched her mother’s hand as they were led to their seats.
The Cambridges had already taken their places at the event when the Queen arrived.
The 95-year-old monarch was escorted by Prince Andrew to her front row seat.
The frail Queen was determined to attend the memorial service despite her recent mobility issues.
