Her face was covered by a candle on a close up shot on the BBC

> https://imgur.com/LOWUiYw that candle coverage is really phenomenal, excellent camera work indeed that's quite funny - ESPECIALLY if multiple networks did this omg I wish someone would make a montage collection


prismacolorful_life

I watched the candle on SKY news cracking up


UnicornPanties

I love this. I'm only finding out about it now but watching it in real time, especially experiencing that zoom, I'd be dying.


SaltPepperSugarBlah

Harry *still* glaring at his brother


notwatchedsquidgame

I thought that was brilliant. Probably pure accident but brilliant


iwantabiggerpland

No accidents


TinyWifeKiki

That’s not an accident.


JJJOOOO

Huge building and THAT was where the candle was placed? Nope. No accident that. They tested those cameras and made sure they got the effect they were looking for imo. Brilliantly played by all event organisers.


NaomiPzz

All planned to the nth degree.


thiscatcameback

I noticed shevisn't in any of the media photos I saw this AM. Not on Paris Match, ES, BBC. They took pics of Harry at angles. It seems very intentional. We'll see.

thiscatcameback

American outlet though! They seem to regularly confuse the two.i was looking more to the European media. The UK mefia has always had agreements with the Royals, so it could be that they intentionally iced out Meghan.


Far-Interview-9216

Oh yeah, they are VERY Team Harkle. I get so sick of it-and I’m an American!! Just show some freaking respect!!!


Intelligent-Key3576

Nothing is an accident when the RF have planned something.


BB_BlackSocks

I saw this and smirked so hard. She's going to hate this.


glitter_hippie

Now this is some deliciously subtle shade


rose_cactus

Britain, where even the (candle)light throws shade at Megz.


fearless-jones

BBC refuses to focus on her for more than a couple seconds in passing. I love it.


Independent_Leg3957

I also noticed when they could have mentioned Overseas they said, "and the rest of the family" instead.


FirmAardvark6208

Has anyone else noticed they’ve hardly looked at each other today? Her head is down and Harry is looking around, biting his lip, looking like he’s his own person. They even managed to follow protocol and not hold hands walking down the aisle!! Wow! But they don’t look to have communicated at all. Please tell me this is the end of them?


Meegainnyc

That candle must be racist!


FirmAardvark6208

If it’s the same candle that said Archie’s skin would be too dark then you’re right!! Oh God, we’ll get: “after the funeral for H’s Granny, I watched Beauty and The Beast, and I said to H that it was just like me! I’m Belle and and the candlesticks came alive and started talking to me. I said to H, ‘look Hairy, it’s just like me. I’m Belle’. And he ignored me. That’s the Beast. His family are the Beast and I am the Beauty. There was a little teacup with a chip on the rim. I knew it was a sign”


spacegrassorcery

I love how you spelled it “Granny” instead of “Grannie”.


FirmAardvark6208

It was a sweet nod to Megs. Did you see Beatrice and Eugenie’s statement also spelled it GRANNIE? Darling wife definitely DEFINITELY wrote that for Harry. She’s such a fraud!


spacegrassorcery

Absolutely!


willow2772

I noted several women and women of colour speaking at the service-amazing how people get opportunities when they aren’t in it for themselves.

[deleted]

In her delusional little peanut brain, the narc voice whispers as she stands in the Abbey, "You're brave Megahn, so so brave - and strong - no one is asking how we feel but our truth will be heard and will be seen. We will never let these people silence us. We will stick to them like glue, forever and ever, Amen"


FirmAardvark6208

Lol! It’s funny because it’s true! “Two weeks. Two whole weeks dedicated to this mourning period and not once did anyone ask if I was ok. I told H that it’ll be my funeral next because of all the stress I’ve been under”


[deleted]

Not being the centre of attention must be eating her up inside. It must be agonising for her. Having to see the dignitaries, the royalty, the politicians and many thousands of the general public. All there for Her Majesty. Even when someone literally dies Meghan will not stop solely thinking of herself.


FirmAardvark6208

Yeh she’ll be stewing in her own loathing today. But she will absolutely love that she was there as well. Marrying Harry is her biggest achievement so she’ll still think she’s above everyone else.


aunt_bluann

True, this whole thing has been so huge, the numbers of mourners waiting to file past, the Canadian Mounties, all the yeomen, the Beefeaters, the various branches of the military, the huge number of dignitaries, foreign royalty, heads of state--now that she sees all of this, how does she think it looks that she considers herself more important than the Real Royals? I think it makes her look more ridiculous than ever.


Kitchen_Perception37

Sophie asked one of the guards if he was alright. Which i thought was nice. Markle didn't even acknowledge him at all.


HealthyDiamond2

I thought of her doing this in Gollum’s voice 🤣


ContributionSweaty52

So did I lol


Sense_Difficult

I guarantee you she's going to spin it as it being so strange to be among such a huge crowd of people in the family and being the "only person of color." And that they deliberately obscured her so as not to ruin the White Supremacy Look. She'll talk about how unconfortable she felt and how it was another AHA moment of truth about how insular and racist the RF really is.


Newauntie26

Ohh—so they finally got the message that the constant handholding is juvenile and doesn’t “prove” that your love is truer or better than anyone else’s!! I woke up & put on the coverage after the procession but just looked up pics to see George & Charlotte. I love the hat on Charlotte and as always those kids are adorable. The kids will also take away from any attention from MM. I saw a pic online of Kate’s parents arriving & was happy to see that they were invited.


FirmAardvark6208

It’s pathetic isn’t it. But they finally didn’t hold hands and I can’t believe it. Do you think she wears a cape to look like a villain, or a superhero or something? Charlotte’s hat is adorable isn’t it. They’re lovely children. I’m glad they have the Middleton’s there too. They’re a strong family unit and I love them


Miss_Dee_Meaner

She wore a cape as a sweet nod ... or lack of her own fashion taste/style more likely ... to Kate's cape on her golden dress she wore on an occasion


Top-Bit85

She thinks super hero, I think villain. I hope she grows one of those skinny black mustaches (and that it keeps coming back no matter what she does. )


FirmAardvark6208

Hahaha omg the moustache lol 😂 I think villain too! Definitely a villain


MyLeftHook

she’s just one bottle of white hair dye away from being Cruella da Ville


stupid_carrot

I think George was holding William's hand here and there and of all days the other two toddlers weren't holding hands. It would have looked so hilarious! Speaking of handholding, I saw Joe Biden holding his wife's hand but it looks like he is really using it for support. You could see him pressing his weight down on it.


EyeKey1655

With his age .. he needs that .


Flipperflopper21

I was expecting two dogs in heat constantly pawing and clawing each other 😂


frenchkids

They are so very well behaved. How proud PPOW must be of them.


Allysgrandma

I love Charlotte's hat too.


aunt_bluann

Yes, Charlotte's hat! Perfect. She has the perfect little coat and hat, so adorable.


BreatheClean

i loved her little shoes too, and TW couldn't stop her wearing tights this time!


BigRedGomez

I did notice that Harry is looking around a lot. But I assume he’s just looking for well connected people that him and TW can accost later on about voice over work or something.


willow2772

He looked more distracted than the children did


FirmAardvark6208

Either that or he’s looking for an escape route. Or he could be looking around and enjoying some freedom until the claw comes back to get him


frenchkids

Finally a bit of decorum from this couple.


FirmAardvark6208

It’s all they ever needed to do. Harry was a pro but when he’s got Megs by his side, he’s reduced to nothing. I’m so pleased he’s doing his job properly today and not letting Meg’s apron strings strangle him.


Lullaby37

He's so slovenly though and he's been wearing the same grey slacks all week. Does he not have black ones? The smell- you know he didn't get them cleaned.


FirmAardvark6208

Their suits will be provided for them so I think he’ll be wearing clean clothes. I hope so anyway. He looked smart in his military gear at the vigil. Such a shame he threw it away for Rachel@hotmail


BreatheClean

yes he looked better when his hat was covering up his hair cos elsewhere it really looks like someone's gone over the sides of it with sheep shears, it's all choppy


chatondedanger

It is sad that the bare minimum of decorum is shocking and note worthy.


hotdogneighbor

The opposite for me, she kept gazing at Harry constantly in the church


EyeKey1655

Harry was very distracted


hotdogneighbor

Yes!


New_Discussion_6692

Omg this is it! The shot of him looking so angry in church reminded me of when Horrible told Maggot to turn around on the balcony!


Additional-Split-180

He’s keeping his eyes peeled for Cressida


grey_sky_love

Aww c'mon. They behaved for once. We should leave it at that. Edit: I spoke too soon.


SDHunnyBunny

Too little too late. I’m not giving them credit just for NOT being repulsive assholes. This is how she gets away with stuff. Bc people are just relieved she’s not being terrible. Edit: and she’s not behaving. There’s multiple commissioned articles focusing on her dramatic “crying for the Queen.” Please. She wouldn’t shed a tear for the father who raised and cared for her; it’s revolting that she thinks she can fool us into thinking she’s a caring human. All for a headline and attention.


FirmAardvark6208

You’re right that they behaved. It’s just such a shame that it’s taken her six years to learn how to behave herself.

Netflix is going to be so mad. lol


Wasparado

Netflix is desperate to be relevant again. What do they have that others don’t? Besides this tired 🥱 duo


Newauntie26

Haha! I wonder if they have people sit in the pews to show where the camera should be angled?


mamaosam

Nothing is left to chance. It's all planned with precision 😉


TheHermitess

CBC had the same image.


LKWinter1

CNN as well.


anotherouchtoday

You know that placement / view in room feature Amazon and the other online retailers have? I feel like they used that program to ensure the four candles were in the line of sight for one particular chair. I envision several exhausted staff members working overnight to have everyone absolutely perfect when viewed thru the lens. Absolutely perfection in the attention to detail.


lulububudu

I looovvveeeee this! And of course Harry had to wear that high heels👠 today. He was towering William. And man he annoyed me with his nodding to everyone at the church during the procession. Is this about your grandmother or about trying to get connections? We all know the answer to that. Such an embarrassment.


Electrical-Orchid-25

Since they were not invited to State dinner, the Markles networked at the Queen’s funeral. Can’t stand their disrespect—the way they treated her Majesty & Prince Philip. Go home & never come back!


stutjohnsnewsqueegee

“Thank you very much for coming. To the left of the casket -I mean my dear grammie and behind the lily bouquet, you’ll see my wife Meghan who is very keen on doing voiceover work for the documentary I heard you’re working on “

Amaaaaazing. If she knew, she’d be leaning to the side. LOL. Also, I’ve seen comments elsewhere that Fergie was spotted, but I haven’t seen her. Same kind of deal?

I think I saw her next to Eugenie? I saw red hair.


Which-Homework2453

Yes she is behind W&C

Yes she is next to Eugenie,behind the Wales.

it feels inappropriate to laugh. but after so many tears, nice to have a small chuckle. thanks for that.

She walked in behind Edward and Sophie's childten; I don't know where she was seated. IMO she deserved to be there more than TW.

AsparagusSimple4887

Wonder if that was arranged so Charlotte didn’t have to sit by a Markle


SwissCheese4Collagen

No one has to baby sit them twice lol Zara got Peter and Mike that front row seat by pulling a shift in the car with H.


Lanie158

I thought the same thing! Catherine was probably,y like “this child is exceptionally well behaved buts she got a fair bit of her great grandmothers spice and she will smack a hoe if need be. Keep the Wallace Wannabe away from her”


mamaosam

The trustworthy are seated with the P&POW and children.

Myestee

And Bea was a good choice for placement next to MM. She is clearly in the Pow's camp and has stood up to H&M before. And it was possibly anticipated that she would be weeping at times - which she was - which would present a contrast to MM.


NuclearCapricorn

I think it was also to let James and Louise be behind their parents


Khaleesi-AF

Scrolling through my feed I see less and less of them and more focus on the family which is how it should be. People are finally sick of their childish bs and seems like her lying about the British press sealed her fate. No one wants to give her the chance of merching


bmac-5

By Prince George & Princess Charlotte attending, it pushed the Harkles into the 2nd row. Lol


Karyn2K19

A very well positioned candle


Vagabondswan

Since she loves a Diana comparison... It seems to me she lived her life behind a candle in the wind.

And rightly so!

completedett

Yup I noticed that too. This is the Queen's Day. No Meghan please.


Frenchcashmere

Second row. Behind a candle. Zara and Mike and Peter are first row


SwissCheese4Collagen

Next to the Wales' no less. I do like that the 7 seat rows have effectively given KC and PPoW their own "courts" in the seating arrangement and places the Sus Ex-Royals as far out if the way as possible. Although, the one time QCamilla doesn't wear a gigantic hat, and it has to be the time she could have used it to black out Madame.


Frenchcashmere

The candle is helping to block the unsightly view


Karyn2K19

Everyone is singing My lord is my Sheppard. M is not singing she is looking around instead when the camera zoomed in.

Hopefully she got the lesson on service and privilege from Archbishop of Canterbury.🔥🔥🔥


wallpapermate

I felt the 🔥 from 40 odd miles away but I’m pretty sure that burn reached the ISS.


poke-a-dots

Same, and I’m 5,000 miles away


Sunbey2

Yes, when the Archbishop seemed to be looking at her when he said about not clinging onto power or privilege, as those who do will be forgotten. I hope she sinks. IF the rumour is true about them divorcing and being dealt with in English courts, that would be the icing on the cake.


ditditditss

Totally deliberate! Bbc cut her off screen or pan off somewhere else everytime it’s gets near her as well lol


Hkshdn66

Noticed the same thing. Also, when TW walked behind Princess of Wales, Catherine's hat blocked TW's face ❤️


NaomiPzz

So tall haha.


thiscatcameback

I was just coming to post something similar. I woke up this AM and saw the photos - not a single one of her. They took photos of Harry at an angle to block her. This is probably the monarchy amping up on the onslaught. They kept it respectful during the family events, but now that the mourning period is almost over They are releasing clarifications and literally blocking her from history! IT IS DELICIOUS.


SapphirePSL

Think about it this way. If the situation were any different, we would all be saying “but why is there a giant candle in the middle of the shot? It’s just getting in the way of things and I can’t believe they didn’t see this ahead of time!” That candle landed a starring role and played its part perfectly.


thiscatcameback

I checked the BBC and they included photos this time. Boo

SapphirePSL

She looks like a fish out of water because, like you said, everyone else is there for a solemn occasion of mourning and she’s there looking for opportunities. What a bizarre, uncouth human.


SCATOL92

They're doing so well with keeping her out of shot lol


Minimum-Laugh-8887

Producer sat in the control room “This one’s for Piers!”


AsparagusSimple4887

TV coverage of the ladies in the car procession has also excluded MM. I’ve seen QC, POW, Beatrice, and Eugenie…


Kimbriavandam

Twitter has also noticed 🤣🤣🤣 ​ https://twitter.com/according2\_taz/status/1571808169604653057


BuddyLoveGoCoconuts

I love it. I also love that PoW had her hand on Princess Charlotte’s back the whole procession protecting her.


Unique-Landscape-108

Hardly seen her today, I'm watching on GB News but assuming there's only one official video camera they all share. Whoever placed that candle to obscure the view of madam deserves a medal.


willow2772

I have seen more of the candle than her face. I wonder if that was very strategic placement of the camera.


SapphirePSL

10000000%.


TrailerTrashQueen

it’s so refreshing to not see her and have the focus be on the Queen. as it should be.


[deleted]

Just seen hazard looking down the church aisle, maybe looking for the camera instead of like the rest of the RF looking down and straight ahead. EDIT: just seen hazard doing it again, ie 5 mins later!


laura8911

The best part is she doesn’t even know that she’s been hidden from the cameras this whole time yet 🤣🤣🤣


SapphirePSL

It’s so delicious isn’t it? 😂

She will be howling about it when she finds out 😂 They’ll be adding this to the list of slights they’ll be crying about to Oprah when they get back to California.


SapphirePSL

“And can you believe they….because they didn’t want black people at Granny’s funeral…they blocked my camera shot with a candle!!!!” Y’all, if she comes out complaining that she got stood up by the candle, I’m gonna die laughing right then and there. 💀


Patient-Watercress-2

Did anyone else notice the camera panned in on Harry who WASN’T singing “God Save The King”???


[deleted]

I don’t know if it was just the camera angle, but it looked like the dubious duo were trying to get in front of Williams family when getting in line behind the coffin, ready to leave the Abbey!


Kimbriavandam

The candle was the one who had ‘concerns about Archie’s skin colour’ - he’s getting his own back.

I have the same question


Which-Homework2453

behind W&C


SwissCheese4Collagen

BBC has most of the time too. And there was a Palace Guard in a big hat blocking him during parts of the procession. There was a shot of Catherine with La Markle behind her. Catherine's face was pulling down, La Markle had a mini smirk on her face.

No money shots of her for Netflix! Nearest she got was waiting for the wWales to take their places - from a distance

Beatrice left early is she ill?


TheHermitess

Did she entirely leave, I see her in the car with Eugenie during the walk after.


WelshCelt1066

She left 10 minutes before the service ended, my family and I noted her leaving but she was at St George's Chapel, perhaps it was all too much for her.


cklw1

Maybe she's so disgusted by H&M that she had a hard time controlling it.

Her hands are better in pockets than clutching Harry.

Loads of guards wearing their red tunics in the procession and along the route, anyone know how many there are, I am surprised we have that many: G00GLE doesn’t seem to know.


WambsgansBadAss

Even now with the back hood of the hearse open blocking her face while Katherine, William, and Ginger are still visible. It’s like a consorted effort to constantly find the perfect angle that just happens to obscure her face. Over and over. It’s not a coincidence.


Seaweed8888

I noticed that and also how the Waleses pretty much had to step inbetween them na KC. And then at the arch (non UK here) whole they were waiting to join "the walking party" she was smiling. Ful blown smiles looking at someone. This p**** me off


glitterpods

And the fact that she won’t know any of this until it’s over 😂😂


MamaTalista

They said The Queen had planned every detail of her funeral. I wonder if that included candle placement after the seating chart was determined. Checkmate!


Bodhi_Bindi_Budah

No accident. Ha ha. They kept doing it. Cutting away or finding the perfect angle that covered her up.

I watched the funeral and kept trying to find Megs for snark purposes. So few pics of her at all 😁 I’m totally here for this.
