London – In a series of well-planned actions to honor Queen Elizabeth and reinforce the image of the monarchy, the vigil around the coffin of four children ensued, questioning the future under a king who lacked the charisma of the monarch, who spent 70 years on the throne. The public visitation at St. Gilles Cathedral in Scotland has dominated the front pages of British newspapers.
The “Vigil of the Princes” is a monarchy tradition, and this is the first time a maiden attends it.
One of the newspapers drew attention to the waiting queues to see the coffin of the queen, which has been in Scotland’s St. Gilles Cathedral since yesterday and is headed to Buckingham Palace in London today.
The Guardian was the only major news outlet to position the headline about the queen’s awakening as a secondary headline.
The tone of media coverage remains emotional. No media outlets featured on the front page of the demonstrations against the monarchy, which led to the arrests and criticism of the restriction of freedom of expression.

The Daily Mirror highlights the protection of children in its headline, with the headline “We’ll take care of you” – although this phrase was apparently never uttered by any of them.
Leaving some journalistic objectivity, the report’s author gives a first-person account of the waking experience:
“Being this close felt strangely personal and brought out the enormity of his death.”
The Times opens up by naming the children ‘The Queen’s Guardian’ and cuts the image to highlight King Charles’ regretful face.
The Guard of Honor was also the Daily Telegraph’s chosen headline, highlighting only monarchy-related articles in the footer, as in previous days. The newspaper also highlighted the king’s connection to Scotland. important insight in an environment where the idea of independence is gaining strength.
The Daily Mail remembers Elizabeth being a mother as well as being a queen. There is also a title that says “the king rules the nation in mourning”.
The newspaper also highlighted the role of Queen Elizabeth’s mother with a short headline: “Night watch for a mother”. And he chose a close-up photo of King Charles.
Queen Elizabeth’s Farewell, The King’s Watch
The Sun was another name that aired the headline “The King’s Vigil” but found its way into typical British tabloid gossip. A side story states that Prince Harry cannot wear his military uniform during his funeral.
Prince Andrew didn’t wear it either, while brothers Edward and Anne wore military garb. Andrew loses his military duties following a minor’s sexual abuse case, ends with massive compensation

The Daily Star warns of the expected queues to see the queen’s coffin in London from Wednesday (14).
His funeral will be held on Monday, the national holiday (19). Unlike what happens on other holidays, department stores will not open on that date and many services will be interrupted.
The Financial Times reduced its coverage of the Queen’s death, but the top of the front page, after World War II. He devoted it to a photograph of the children gathered at Elizabeth’s vigil.
For the first time since the monarch’s death, it continued the visual layout of the business newspaper cover, with a side column and several highlighted issues.
The Guardian did not hesitate to report on the first day of the watch, but signaled that despite all the turmoil this was not the most important issue for the British.
The main space on the front page is devoted to the cost of living crisis and the push for Prime Minister Liz Truss to lay out her plans to mitigate the problem.
