Princess Anne curtsied to her mother Queen Elizabeth II's coffin as it arrived at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh on Sunday.

The Queen died at Balmoral Castle on Thursday at the age of 96. The monarch's coffin made a 6-hour journey from Balmoral to Holyroodhouse, the royal family's official residence in the Scottish capital. As Insider previously reported, Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, traveled in a car behind the hearse for the journey.

After arriving in Edinburgh, Anne and other members of the royal family gathered outside the palace to pay their respects as the Queen's coffin was carried inside.
