And on Sunday, they joined other members of the family to honor the country’s war dead at a Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph war memorial in London. During the solemn ceremony, Queen Elizabeth II, Kate Middleton and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall stood together at one balcony, while Meghan watched from the balcony of another window outside the Cenotaph war memorial in London. As the balconies of each window are small, it’s nearly impossible to fit more than three or four women on each. Although Meghan didn’t join her family members, she was given a very important position of her own: watching alongside German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier’s wife Elke Budenbender.

Last year, Queen Elizabeth chose not to lay a wreath at the ceremony but to hand the duty off to her son and heir, Prince Charles. The 92-year-old monarch followed this new tradition again.
An equerry laid a wreath on behalf of her 97-year-old husband Prince Philip, who retired from his royal duties in 2017 and did not attend.
