Judi James told Fabulous: “Some words did pass between Prince Harry and Meghan during the service and it looked as though she was consoling him in his grief and distress.
“She was clearly tuned into him in terms of being supportive, turning her head in his direction several times when he moved.”
Meghan and Prince Harry today sat behind King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla at the Queen’s emotional funeral.
Any differences Harry and his family may have were put aside as he walked in with his brother Prince William before taking his seat behind his father, the new king.
The King and the Queen Consort sat in the ornate Canada Club chairs, with Camilla next to the Princess Royal, who sat alongside her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.
He was seated next to the Duke of York, with the Earl and Countess of Wessex making up the front row of the south lantern.
Directly behind the King was the Duke of Sussex with the Duchess of Sussex behind Camilla.
Meghan was sat next to Princess Beatrice.
Across the aisle were the Prince of Wales, the Princess of Wales, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and then Peter Phillips and Zara and Mike Tindall.
US President Joe Biden was 14 rows back on the south transept behind the Polish leader and in front of the Czech Republic.
It comes as…
- Solemn King Charles leads the Royal Family in an emotional procession behind the Queen’s coffin
- Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince George, 9, arrived at Westminster Abbey with mum Kate Middleton
- Meghan Markle bowed her head as she joined the Royals
- Prince Andrew wore a suit after being banned from his military uniform
- Two thousand mourners including world leaders gathered for the funeral
In the front of the south transept were the Realms governors general and then commonwealth countries followed by other nations including the US.
Harry was today seen wearing a suit for today’s funeral after being stripped of his royal military titles.
But King Charles had previously offered an olive branch to Harry by allowing him to wear military uniform for the vigil for Harry’s grandmother, the Queen, at Westminster Hall on Saturday night.
There was speculation Harry, who served two tours of Afghanistan, would be blocked from wearing a military uniform for the vigil as he is no longer a senior royal.
But HOAR confirmed he had been granted special permission for the period of reflection.
