Meghan Markle and husband Prince Harry looked emotional as they arrived in car to Buckingham Palace, where they would've viewed the Queen's coffin for the first time.

The coffin arrived in Buckingham Palace shortly after 8 pm, and it was accompanied by Princess Anne. King Charles and the Queen Consort had arrived in Buckingham Palace earlier in the day after arrving back from Northern Ireland.

The Queen arrived back in London on Tuesday after making her final journey from Scotland. Her coffin was transported by plane to RAF Northolt, accompanied by her devoted daughter, Princess Anne.

The Queen will spend Tuesday night in the Bow Room at Buckingham Palace – where she once hosted dinners for foreign royals and dignitaries.
