The Duchess of Sussex's relationship with the Countess of Wessex has come under focus after the pair travelled together in the same car. Meghan travelled with Sophie by car, following The Queen Consort and the Princess of Wales, on the procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall.
Sophie, 57, has been married to Her Majesty's youngest son Prince Edward, 58, since 1999, and they share two children: the Queen's so-called 'favourite' granddaughter Lady Louise Windsor, 18, and James Viscount Severn, 14.
She and the now Queen Consort were the only non-blood relatives to be at Balmoral after the monarch's death - with Sophie, 57, previously described as a 'second daughter' to the late monarch.
