Meghan Markle in tears at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral

Meghan Markle was seen shedding tears at the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II.

The Duchess of Sussex attended the service at Westminster Abbey today, Monday, September 19, alongside her husband Prince Harry. Overcome with emotion, the 41-year-old was seen wiping a tear from her cheek.

Prince Edward was also among those moved to tears as millions of people worldwide watched the historic state funeral. He was seen drying his face with a handkerchief as the service began. Prince William looked sombre as he entered Westminster Abbey and placed his hand gently on the shoulder of his son, Prince George, nine, as they passed The Queen's coffin.

After the service the Queen was taken from Westminster Abbey down The Mall and by Buckingham Palace for the last time before being transferred to a state hearse at Wellington Arch to make her final journey to Winsor Castle which will be her final resting place.

The crowd along the Mall broke into applause and cheers after the Queen's coffin passed them and circled round the Queen Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace.

Members of the royal family, including the King, remained expressionless as they marched behind, while other members of the royal family, including the Princess of Wales, looked on at the crowds as they passed them in vehicles.

Once the coffin reached Buckingham Palace, members of staff at the palace bowed and curtsied both at the coffin and members of the royal family as they made their way past.

Thousands of mourners lined Long Walk in Windsor waiting for The Queen's arrival.
