Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sat directly behind King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla during Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral.
Meghan, dressed in all black, sat behind the Queen Consort and next to Princess Beatrice.
While Harry was sat directly behind his father, for the service attended by hundreds of world leaders.
It came after Harry and his brother Prince William put on a united front to walk behind Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin from the Palace of Westminster to Westminster Abbey.
The coffin was draped in the Royal Standard and carried the Imperial State Crown and a wreath of flowers containing plants from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove House.
Leading the procession were around 200 pipers and drummers of Scottish and Irish Regiments, the Brigade of Gurkhas and RAF.
The King and his siblings were also among the members of the Royal Family to take part in the procession.
While several wore military uniform during the funeral, Harry and Prince Andrew donned morning suits.
The pair were given special dispensation to wear their uniform for a vigil around the coffin in Westminster Hall, but were denied the chance to wear the regalia for the funeral because they are not working royals.
Speaking following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the King “expressed his love” for Harry and Meghan as they “continue to build their lives overseas”.
He said in an address to the nation earlier this month: “I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.”
