Earlier, in a statement released on September 10, Buckingham Palace said: “The state funeral of Her Majesty The Queen will be held at Westminster Abbey on Monday 19 September at 11am BST. Before the state funeral, the Queen will lie in state at Westminster Hall for four days to allow the public to pay her respects. The Queen’s coffin currently rests in the ballroom at Balmoral Castle. Her Majesty’s coffin will travel by road to Edinburgh tomorrow Sunday 11 September to arrive at the Palace of Holyroodhouse where it will rest in the Throne Room until the afternoon of Monday 12 September.”

It states: ‘On the afternoon of September 12 a procession will be formed in the forecourt of the Palace of Holyroodhouse to take the coffin to St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh. The King and members of the Royal Family will take part in the procession and attend a service at St Giles’ Cathedral to receive the coffin. Her Majesty’s coffin will then rest in St Giles’ Cathedral, guarded by vigils from the Royal Company of Archers for the people of Scotland to pay their respects.”

From Wellington Arch the coffin travels to Windsor, and there the State hearse travels in procession down the Long Walk to St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. A committal service will then take place at St. George’s Chapel.”

Meanwhile, people had plenty to say about Meghan’s tears, as one Twitter user shared: “After everything she’s been through the Queen over the past 18 months her crying seems wrong.” The second user wrote: ” Crocodile tears all for the second interview with Oprah, no doubt.” The third user said, “She’s undoubtedly sorry.” “I find it funny, honestly. She has no brains to understand that her hypocrisy does not match her anger and envy of the royal family. She’s lost all faith,” added the fourth.

However, there were also people who supported the former ‘Suits’ actress. One person tweeted: “Meghan Markle wore a black version of the cape dress she wore to the Queen’s birthday, a black version of the hat she wore to the Queen’s Jubilee and the pearl and diamond studs were a gift from the Queen. Her whole look today revolved around the Queen. Talk about being thoughtful.” Another person added, “I really feel for Meghan Markle, I can’t imagine how hard it must be for her to be there for her husband while also dealing with her own trauma to be in this toxic environment again. Like she’s handling everything with class and dignity, but I still want her out of there.”
