@KingstonsMom  Seating?  Maybe but they are simply in order of their rank in the Royal family as I see. 


 

@Sooner 

 

Sophie & Edward (sitting behind Kate & William) aren't in the line of succession are they?

 

Serious question, not snark......

 

BTW, I read that Sophie is now a 'personal shopper' for the Queen! Guess the Queen likes her sense of style!

@KingstonsMom  They sit according to rank in the royal family. They sat behind Will and Kate last year. And the year before that.

I was terribly disappointed with William when he entered the event. He completely ignored Harry and Meagan, did not even  acknowledge they were there.  At least Prince Edward was pleasant to Meagan.

Thank you for the explanation, I admittedly don't know that much about how the technical Royalty works!

@KingstonsMom  Edward is definitely in line for the throne. However, he is currently #11.

I think William has good reason to be very upset with his brother forsaking his royal duties.I'd rather he ignore Harry if he is angry with him than fake being insincerely friendly.

"Remember.  YOU wanted out."

 

They seem to be watching the Queen enter.  Either that or she just left and the ceremony is over.
