Viscount Severn

All eight of the Queen's grandchildren mounted an emotional vigil around her coffin at Westminster Hall, including 14-year-old James, Viscount Severn, ...

He said: "The Queen's passing has left an unimaginable void in all our lives. Along with Peter Phillips, Zara Tindall, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, James walked in formation into Westminster Hall and stood at the side of his grandmother's coffin. "Given that my mama let us spend so much time with her, I think she also rather enjoyed watching those passions blossom. He bowed his head as he positioned himself in between Peter and Eugenie while tearful mourners, who had waited in a long queue, came to pay their respects. During a ceremony in Windsor Castle in 2017, she was introduced to an eight-year-old boy, who was around the same age as James at the time. And during his moving tribute to his mother, James' dad Edward touched on the teenager's shared loves and passions with the Queen - and the late Philip. Proud dad Edward described his newborn son as "very cute and very cuddly" and at the time of his birth, he was eighth in line to the throne - although he has now slipped to 14th. James' title is Viscount Severn - one of his dad Edward's subsidiary titles - and the decision was said to be part of his parent's hopes for their children to have as normal a childhood as possible. Both James and sister Louise have often been described as among the Queen's favourite grandchildren - and shared a close relationship with her. This means that James and his older sister Louise, are titled as children of an Earl - and don't use the HRH style.
