The two royals were sitting next to each other on the front row of the congregation alongside their respective husbands, the Duke of Cambridge and Vice Admiral Tim Laurence, as well as the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, who had ornate chairs.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were also in attendance at the service, which paid tribute to the Queen's 70 years on the throne. The couple, who will be residing in Frogmore Cottage for the duration of their stay, were seated in the second row alongside Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and their husbands, and Lady Sarah Chatto, the daughter of Princess Margaret, and her family.
Harry and Meghan are seated behind the Earl and Countess of Wessex who are in the front row with their children, Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor and Viscount Severn, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.The service is part of a series of celebrations for Her Majesty between 2 and 5 June, which will see the people of the United Kingdom come together to celebrate the historic milestone.
Unfortunately, the Queen was unable to attend the service due to experiencing"some discomfort" during Thursday's celebrations. A statement from the Palace read:"Taking into account the journey and activity required to participate in tomorrow's National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral, Her Majesty, with great reluctance, has concluded that she will not attend," adding that she experienced"some discomfort" during Trooping the Colour.
