The Duchess of Sussex found
herself tucked behind a candle and one of the tallest members of the Royal
Family yesterday.
It meant TV viewers
struggled to get a glimpse of her because she was often obscured from view.
The Duchess, 41, and
her husband Prince Harry were seated behind Tim Laurence, Princess Anne’s
husband, who towers over his wife.
A large church
candle also stood between her and the TV cameras, while her wide-brimmed hat
made it even more difficult for fans to see her.
Meghan and her husband
Prince Harry were seated in the second row at Westminster Abbey next to
Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
She may have been
happy to keep a low profile after a number of interviews in recent months in
which she has been highly critical of the Royal Family.
Despite the
criticisms, she has praised the Queen and revealed in an interview with US chat
show host Oprah Winfrey last year that the monarch had always shown her
kindness.
TV viewers struggled to get a glimpse
of the Duchess of Sussex as she was stood behind a candle and the Princess
Royal’s tall husband, Tim Laurence.
‘The Queen has always been wonderful to
me,’ she said. ‘I just really loved being in her company… she’s always been
warm and inviting and really welcoming.’ She may have been reflecting on that
yesterday when she was seen to wipe away a tear as the monarch’s coffin was
taken from the Abbey.
