Since the announcement of the death of Elizabeth II, they have been scrutinized by the press around the world: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been part of the royal family’s tribute to Queen Elizabeth II this Wednesday in London.
Arrived separately, since the Duke of Sussex was part (with his brother, Prince William, and his father, King Charles III) of the procession behind the coffin, and Meghan Markle came by car with the other members of the family, the spouses met in Westminster Hall for a short religious ceremony.
Placed behind Prince William and Kate Middletonthey remained standing like all the others and ended up leaving the solemn place just after them, allowing themselves a unique but very tender gesture: as in almost each of their appearances, they took each other’s hand to make the short journey to the car that was taking them back to Buckingham Palace.
A gesture that seems innocuous but which shows each time that the couple is very united during this kind of event. We had seen them hand in hand at the Jubilee, last June, for their only appearance at Saint Paul’s Cathedral, or more recently, in Windsor. When they went out to see the public outside the castle last Saturday, they had not let go, cutting with the distance established between Prince William and Kate Middleton.
