  THE Queen was today joined by Princess Eugenie for the annual Easter coin ceremony as the world awaits news on the royal baby.
  Eugenie returned to Windsor Castle's St George's Chapel, where she wed husband Jack Brooksbank last autumn, for the annual event where the Queen distributes money to community stalwarts.

  When the Queen, 92, arrived at the chapel's north door with her granddaughter, 29, they were presented with traditional nosegays - which in ancient times warded off unpleasant smells.
  The pair then took their seats at the head of the congregation.
  The Queen wore a buttercup-coloured Stewart Pravin outfit, matching hat by Rachel Trevor-Morgan and an Australian wattle brooch, while Eugenie was dressed in a blue and white dress.
  It comes as the world eagerly awaits news of the royal baby with mum-to-be Meghan Markle set to give birth any day now.
  Royal watchers are on edge as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are getting closer to welcoming their first child in April 2019.
  The Duke and Duchess of Sussex referred to their child as "Baby Sussex" for the first time on April 15, sending royal fans into "meltdown".
  And today's service, marking the Christian holy day of Maundy Thursday, falls on the Thursday before Easter, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles.
  Historically, the sum of £5.50 in the red purse is made up of £3 for clothing, £1.50 in lieu of provisions, and £1 which represents a piece of the sovereign's gown which, before Tudor times, used to be divided between the recipients.
  The Queen also presented them with a white purse containing uniquely minted Maundy money - one, two, three and four silver penny pieces - to the value of 93p.
