The Duchess of Sussex accompanied her husband Prince Harry to the state funeral.
While he arrived on foot, Meghan travelled in a car.
Stepping out, she was seen wearing a traditional all-black outfit and a wide-brimmed hat.

Meghan Markle seen crying outside Westminster Abbey
The Duchess of Sussex was spotted crying as she left Westminster Abbey following the Queen’s state funeral.
Meghan was seen wiping away a tear after sitting alongside Harry during the funeral.
The show of emotion came as she stood alongside Queen Consort Camilla outside the Abbey as the funeral service came to an end.
The royals then looked on as the procession to a waiting hearse took place.
This saw the Queen’s coffin transferred into a car, ready for its trip to Windsor – which will be the Queen’s final resting place.
Standing alongside Prince Harry, Meghan’s eye make-up look ever-so-slightly smudged as her emotions clearly spilled over.
Royal fans react to Meghan’s tears
“Meghan seems to be the only member of the family who was crying,” one concerned fan commented.
“Meghan was crying,” said another sadly.
“Ahh, she was crying…Pure soul,” said another.
“Meghan was crying. The Queen was probably the only member of that family who truly welcomed her,” alleged another.
Others sadly predicted that Meghan would come under fire for showing her emotions, though.
“I’m sorry for Meghan for crying at the funeral – a lot backlash is on the way coming for her,” said one.
