Kate Middleton suffered awkward moment with Meghan Markle over ‘seat confusion’

Kate Middleton once suffered an awkward moment with Meghan Markle in an instant of ‘seat confusion’ at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral.

The unfortunate moment, which was caught live on TV, happened when the procession happened in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle as the Royal family approached where they were due to sit for the memorial service. Prince William directed his family members on when they could take their seats in a row assigned to them.

He instructed Prince George to wait, but Kate appeared unaware of this and attempted to walk down the aisle. William pointed out they should wait and she stepped back to allow Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to go before them The Daily Star reported Charlotte walked down and sat next to Harry and shared a touching moment when she adjusted her hat before looking over at her uncle. Harry then briefly looked up and caught her eye and smiled at the young princess

With Princess Charlotte sat next to her uncle Prince Harry, her brother Prince George was sat between their parents the Prince and Princess of Wales. It was then the first time William and Kate’s kids have been seen in public since the Queen’s death – and it was understood the royal couple thought long and hard while having discussions with the children before deciding they would attend.

William and Kate agreed, after long discussions with aides, as the future of the monarchy, George, who affectionately called the Queen ‘Gan Gan’, should attend with his sister with whom he is especially close to.

Prince William told one royal fan in Windsor that they decided to “keep some sense of continuity” for their children at school in order to keep things “as normal as possible”. After the late monarch’s historic state funeral at Westminster Abbey her coffin was taken to Windsor up the Long Walk as thousands of mourners gathered outside to pay their respects before a televised committal service.
