According to the Mirror, status came into play when the wives of the male royal family members were preparing to make the drive from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. Camilla Parker Bowles is the wife of the king and Kate Middleton is married to the man who is now first in line to the throne, so the two women were paired up in the lead vehicle. Hello! reported that the royal arrangements were similar for Remembrance Sunday in 2019, with Meghan Markle and Sophie, Countess of Wessex standing on a separate balcony from Middleton.
After Markle gave birth to her first child, Archie, in 2019, Sophie became the first royal to pay her a visit, according to The Times, so perhaps there wasn’t too much tension between Markle and her seatmate. In one photo, the two women are pictured looking stoically ahead in profile. Markle has on a pair of understated pearl earrings, which are in stark contrast to the royal jewels that Middleton picked out for the lying in state service. According to Metro, her huge diamond-and-pearl brooch belonged to the queen, while her pearl drop earrings were once the property of Princess Diana. The white jewelry popped against her black clothing, making it draw the eye in photos.
Prince Harry and Markle joined hands when they were reunited at Westminster Hall, the Mirror reported, while William, Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales avoided physical contact.
