Meghan rode to the funeral with Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, but she stood side by side with Kate and her children upon her arrival.

It marked the first time Meghan was seen publicly with her niece and nephew since she and Prince Harry stepped back from the royal family in 2020.

Meghan and Harry's relationship with the royal family has reportedly been strained, but they seem to have made steps towards reconciliation in light of the Queen's death, at least for the time being.

The royals walked into the funeral in pairs.
