Kate Middleton experienced an awkward moment with Meghan Markle due to a seating mix-up at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.
This uncomfortable incident, broadcasted live on television, occurred during the procession in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle as the royal family approached their designated seats for the memorial service. Prince William was guiding his family members on when to take their seats in their assigned row. The news comes as Prince Harry’s ‘awkward exchange’ with Meghan Markle is explained.
He signaled Prince George to hold back, but Kate seemed unaware of this and began to walk down the aisle.
William indicated they should wait, and she stepped back to let Prince Harry and Meghan Markle proceed ahead of them.
This marked the initial public appearance for William and Kate’s children following the Queen’s passing – with reports suggesting the royal pair deliberated extensively and held conversations with the youngsters before determining their attendance.
William and Kate reached their decision following lengthy consultations with advisors, believing that as the monarchy’s future, George, who lovingly referred to the Queen as “Gan Gan,” should be present alongside his sister, with whom he shares an exceptionally strong bond.
William shared with a royal admirer in Windsor that they chose to “keep some sense of continuity” for their children’s schooling to maintain things “as normal as possible.”
Following the late sovereign’s unprecedented state funeral at Westminster Abbey, her casket was transported to Windsor along the Long Walk while thousands of grievers assembled outside to offer their final tributes ahead of a broadcast committal ceremony.
