Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle Reportedly Didn't Talk to Each Other at All During the Queen's Funeral Events.
“Grandma, I miss you every single day,” Prince Harry whispered as he knelt before Queen Elizabeth II's grave, tears streaming down his face.
"Meghan also hoped to accompany Harry, but as she was heavily pregnant with their daughter, her doctors wouldn't give her medical clearance to fly."
The Queen was observed handling some papers in her hand - presumably an order of service - and then whispered a word to herself with Kate nearby. Expert lip reader Jeremy Freeman told The Mirror that Camilla simply said the word "wow" as she absorbed the moving scenes below.
Kensington Palace announced that Kate had undergone “planned abdominal surgery” in mid-January. She was discharged from London Clinic, a private hospital, 13 days later.
I omitted obey from my vows.
However, one member of the Royal Family decided to skip Diana's funeral, fearing their attendance would upset too many people. According to the Daily Mail, biographer Sean Smith discussed Duchess Sophie's decision to not attend Princess Diana's funeral in a forthcoming book.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's relationship was one of love, respect, and long-lasting admiration. They first met at Britannia Royal Naval College in 1939, where an 18-year-old cadet Philip was introduced to a 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth of England while she was touring the grounds.
The Queen and the late Prince Philip had been in a bubble with some members of their household for the last year and so the monarch was not eligible to join a support bubble with other members of her family.
The late monarch was dismayed when Meghan wouldn't give her any details about her wedding dress, and this was enough to spark concern in the Palace that Meghan could "turn into nothing but trouble" and that - despite royal protocol - "she sees things in a different way".

Not invited
No-one from Russia, Belarus and Myanmar was invited either. Diplomatic relations between the UK and Russia have all but collapsed since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and a spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was "not considering" attending the funeral.
At one point, Diana called Queen Elizabeth “sobbing,” as we learned in the 2017 documentary Diana: In Her Own Words. It's because of this close-knit bond that Queen Elizabeth allowed Princess Diana to call her “Mama.”
Seeing that Harry was still alive, she used the opportunity to covertly ask Harry if he knew of Draco's well-being. In a whisper, she asked if Draco was alive.
However, this wish was firmly denied. An insider explained that the Late Queen refused the photo because it was a private family meeting. There were concerns that any images taken by the Sussexes' photographer could be shared with US television networks, which raised privacy issues.
Robert Dudley was one of Elizabeth's 'favourites', a long-term suitor and believed by many to have been her one true love. Elizabeth's fondness for Dudley and his proximity to her as Master of the Horse and Privy Councillor, made him influential and envied for his access to the Queen.
Beyonce. A surprising number of celebrities are related to Queen Elizabeth II, including Beyonce. She's distantly related to the late queen, as they were 25th cousins once removed.
Yes I know that the Queen Elizabeth said in an episode of The Crown that she only ever loved Prince Phillip and Porchey was just a friend, but had she loved Porchey he would have been 100% a better husband the Phillip. They had so much mutual respect for each other and had so much in common.
Margaret was a big support to Diana in the beginning, but after the Panorama interview she withdrew her support. She felt that Diana showed lack of respect for the Royal institution and for her sister the Queen. Also the reason she didn't bow her head as Diana's coffin went by during the funeral procession.
Diana was wearing a ring given to her by Dodi Fayed when she died. It was a £3,000 Bulgari yellow gold band with diamonds. The diamond band set in yellow gold was not an engagement ring and was worn on the fourth finger of her right hand, where her butler Paul Burrell advised her to wear it.
Michael Jackson's Memorial: Up to 2.5 billion viewers
Though Diana's funeral is widely considered to be the most watched televised memorial in history, Michael Jackson's memorial rivalled (if not exceeded) these ratings, but it depends who you ask.
According to The Associated Press, Diana referred to Prince Philip as "Dearest Pa" in letters from 1992, and the duke offers to help try to patch up her marital problems.
So what I say to you now, as your Queen and as a grandmother, I say from my heart. First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness.
Diana told Morton she said, “Camilla, I would just like you to know that I know exactly what is going on. I obviously am in the way and it must be hell for both of you, but I do know what is going on. Don't treat me like an idiot.”
