The Queen's eldest granddaughter Zara Tindall has been hailed as "totally relatable" after eagled eyed viewers noticed her stumble during Saturday night's vigil.
All eight of Her Majesty's grandchildren, including Prince William and Prince Harry, paid their respects at a touching vigil in Westminster Hall where they were joined by mourners. The group were led by William, the new Prince of Wales, who was flanked by Zara, 41, and her older brother Peter Phillips.
At the other end of the coffin were Harry, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie while Lady Louise Windsor, aged 18, and her 14-year-old brother, and James, Viscount Severn stood in the middle. All eight stood beside the coffin for around 15 minutes, as they paid their respects to their grandmother before being led out by William, reports the Mirror.
As the group walked back up the staircase to exit the hall, viewers noticed that Zara's right shoe came off her foot. She shared a smile with Lady Louise and reached down and placed her black heeled shoe on her foot - causing the rest of the mourners to wait.
Royal fans praised Zara's grace in dealing with the mishap and said it showed how "totally relatable" she is. One wrote on Twitter: "Suspect Zara lost her shoe there, dealt with it in good grace. Beautiful vigil." Another said: "Zara loosing her shoe lightened the moment and made things more real."
One viewer remarked: "I was crying until Zara lost her shoe going up the steps. Totally relatable moment that made me smile." While another noted of Zara: "So relatable, real people going through a horrible experience and showing us how amazing our royal family is."
Most of the Queen's grandchildren all wore formal black dress for the occasion apart from William and Harry
