Her Majesty, who looked gorgeous in a lavender day dress, was accompanied by her son Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles. The Cornwalls sat yards away from the monarch, flanking her on the left.

According to reports, Prince Charles and Camilla’s presence at the Parliament was a statement to how senior royal members would play significant roles in the absence of the Duke of Edinburgh.

In recent royal news, Meghan made her first public appearance since the explosive interview with Oprah at the Vax Live Concert telecast. The duchess was featured in a pre-recorded segment from her California home wearing a red dress.

According to royal expert Judi James, Meghan

but managed to channel an upright pose similar to that of the Queen. She also used the words “my husband and I” ― a signature quote from Her Majesty.
