After the Duchess of Sussex and Countess of Wessex travelled together in the same car, their relationship has come under focus.
Following The Queen Consort and the Princess of Wales on the procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, Meghan travelled with Sophie by car. Since 1999, Sophie, 57, has been married to Her Majesty's youngest son Prince Edward.
They share two children: James Viscount Severn, 14, and the Queen's so-called 'favourite' granddaughter Lady Louise Windsor, 18. As reported for the Mirror, 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.
