Beatrice honoured her beloved grandmother by including 'Elizabeth' in Sienna's name.

Photographs of Sienna are yet to be made public, but the tot is said to have a shock of red hair just like her mother and grandmother, the Duchess of York.

Princess Beatrice, alongside her sister Princess Eugenie and their six cousins marked a historic moment yesterday as they all stood vigil beside their grandmother's coffin which is currently Lying-in-State at Westminster Hall.

Before the vigil took place, Princess Beatrice and her sister Eugenie paid tribute to their late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, with a beautiful message.

The sisters shared a picture of themselves as youngsters with their grandmother and wrote: "Our dearest Grannie, We've not been able to put much into words since you left us all.

"There have been tears and laughter, silences and chatter, hugs and loneliness, and a collective loss for you, our beloved Queen and our beloved Grannie.

"We, like many, thought you'd be here forever. And we all miss you terribly. You were our matriarch, our guide, our loving hand on our backs leading us through this world. You taught us so much and we will cherish those lessons and memories forever."

The pair continued: "For now dear Grannie, all we want to say is thank you. Thank you for making us laugh, for including us, for picking heather and raspberries, for marching soldiers, for our teas, for comfort, for joy. You, being you, will never know the impact you have had on our family and so many people around the world.
