Sophie Wessex’s peacemaking gesture to Meghan Markle as they paid respects to Queen

Meghan Markle was put at ease during the Queen's funeral procession yesterday thanks to Sophie Wessex's sweet gesture. The Duchess of Sussex shared a car with Prince Edward's wife, the Countess of Wessex, following behind Camilla and Kate Middleton.

When they arrived, the pair joined the Queen Consort and the Princess of Wales at the door of Westminster Hall where the Queen's coffin, accompanied by their husbands, arrived a few moments later. Kate, Sophie and Meghan stood with their hands clasped at the front, whilst Camilla waited with her arms by her side, the Mirror reports.

Kate briefly conversed with both Camilla and Sophie, but mostly kept her eyes cast down towards the floor. Describing the scene, royal writer Rebecca English said that there was a 'notable gap between Sophie and Meghan' at first, with the Duchess of Sussex standing further from the 'three working royals bunched together'.
