Princess Eugenie and sister Princess Beatrice joined their royal family members today at the reception held at the Palace of Westminster to mourn Queen Elizabeth II, who died last Thursday.

The two were photographed standing with their relatives during the ceremony. Eugenie stood with husband Jack Brooksbank, and Zara Tindall, the daughter of Princess Anne, while Beatrice stood next to her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.

Eugenie and Beatrice looked elegant in all-black looks, as is custom during the period of royal mourning for the queen.

Eugenie wore a black long-sleeved dress, pointed-toe pumps, and a black fascinator with a netted veil. She accessorized only with gold hoop earrings and had her hair in a low bun with a loose, curled strand in the front.

Beatrice also wore a black long-sleeved dress, hers which tied at the top, paired with matching heels, stockings, and a black headband with a large bow. Her hair was down in relaxed waves.

Her husband, next to her, wore a black mourning suit, white dress shirt, and black tie. To his suit jacket, he pinned one gold medal.

Zara looked just as sophisticated next to her cousins. The equestrian wore a black dress styled with a black belt with a gold buckle, a matching fascinator, and gold hoop earrings. Her hair was slicked back into a pretty bun.

This morning, the royal family came together for the procession of Queen Elizabeth's coffin, prior to the reception at the Palace of Westminster. The coffin was moved from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall in London. There, it will lie in state for four days, and mourners will be able to visit it to pay their respects.

Then, on Monday, September 19, a state funeral for the queen will be held. Her final resting place will be St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, where she will be buried next to her husband of more than 70 years, Prince Philip.
