After the funeral service, the royals gathered outside Westminster Abbey to watch the Queen’s coffin leave to head on a procession.

It was during this sombre moment that Princess Charlotte turned around to seemingly look at Meghan.

The Duchess of Sussex caught her niece’s eye and offered her a brief smile, before the seven-year-old turned away again.

It appears that Charlotte mouths “wow” as she turns away, smiling.

Charlotte later shared a similar, sweet moment with her uncle, Prince Harry, during the service st St George’s Chapel.
