Princess Charlotte was one of the youngest members of the royal family in attendance at the late Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral alongside her older brother, Prince George.
Their youngest sibling, Prince Louis, who is just four years old did not join his family in the procession or funeral as he was likely thought to be too young.
Spectators watching online and on television noticed Meghan's attempt to comfort her niece, with one Twitter account writing: "It looked like Meghan tried to smile at Princess Charlotte."
Another account added, "Pretty sure when they are walking out of the church, Meghan smiles at Princess Charlotte."
Princess Charlotte and Prince George travelled to Westminster Abbey with the Queen Consort Camilla and their mother Princess Catherine.
This marked the first time William and Kate’s children have been seen in public since the sad news about the Queen's death at 96 was confirmed.
During the emotional service, seven-year-old Princess Charlotte paid tribute to her great-grandmother by wearing a pin in the shape of a horseshoe on her black coat.
It’s understood that the Princess shares the late Queen's love of horses, and is reportedly learning how to ride horseback.
Viewers also spotted an adorable moment between the brother and sister, when the Queen's coffin came past them, Princess Charlotte appeared to remind Prince George of the royal protocol, saying "you need to bow".
In the aftermath of the service, many mourners have been praising them for how they composed themselves on such an upsetting day and at such a young age.
One Twitter user said: "Touching moment - Prince George and Princess Charlotte have done so well today.
Another added: "So proud of Prince George and Princess Charlotte."
Meanwhile, a third said: "Prince George and Princess Charlotte are such wonderful and well-behaved children."
