Meghan Markle looks sombre as she enters Westminster Abbey behind Kate Middleton

Meghan Markle was pictured looking sombre as she arrived at Westminster Abbey with Prince Harry ahead of the Queen's funeral on Monday morning.

Walking behind the Queen's coffin and King Charles III, alongside Her Majesty's other siblings and his brother the Prince of Wales, Meghan and Harry joined the procession from Westminster Hall around 11am.

Meghan wore a black dress, stilettos and completed her outfit with a hat, entering the Abbey behind the Princess of Wales and Countess of Wessex, reports the Express.

The royals are among 2,000 people gathered at the church to remember the late Monarch who died on Thursday, September 8. Thousands of residents have also gathered in Scotland's capital near the Palace of Holyroodhouse to watch proceedings on a large TV screen.

King Charles III led other members of the Royal Family behind the coffin that was carried by the military bearer party from Westminster Hall where she had been lying in state, with tens of thousands queueing though the night to catch a glimpse of the coffin.

The King was immediately behind with his siblings Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. They were followed by the Prince of Wales, Duke of Sussex and Peter Phillips.

Prince William and Kate Middleton were also joined by two of their three children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Harry and Meghan were driven in a Range Rover from Wellington Arch, down Constitution Hill and on The Mall towards St James' Palace. Four vehicles with flags were seen driving ahead of Harry's car. It comes after the Queen's lying in state period at Westminster Hall ended at 6.30am.

Chrissy Heerey, who was the last member of the public to leave the Hall, said: "It's one of the highlights of my life and I feel very privileged to be here."

Alongside the likes of Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, the UK Prime Minister Liz Truss and leader of the Labour party Kier Starmer were also present at the ceremony.

Millions of people across the country will watch the service on television on what is a national bank holiday in Britain. Crowds lined the streets of central London ahead of the funeral on what will be a solemn day of pomp and pageantry.
