Viewers spot Meghan being 'blocked' from camera during Queen's funeral | The Sun
VIEWERS of The Queen's State Funeral are suggesting Meghan Markle has been "blocked" from cameras.
Social media users reckoned a candle was "placed" to obscure the Duchess of Sussex's face during the service at Westminster Abbey.
Meghan sat behind Princess Anne and next to husband Prince Harry – but for much of the State Funeral service only her hat could be visible to those watching on TV.
There is no suggestion the placing of one of four candles surrounding Her Majesty's coffin was intentionally positioned to obscure the Duchess's face.
But nevertheless, Twitter users flocked to the social media site to share their thoughts on the placement amid a historic day in Britain's history.
One person claimed: "I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist but that candle is totally blocking the view of Meghan."

Meanwhile another user appeared to back the Duchess up: "That candle protecting Meghan from prying eyes who wanna judge everything she does."
The service began at 11am and saw several members of faith including the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, give addresses.
And Prime Minister Liz Truss read the Second Lesson from John 14:1-9a, telling the congregation: "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God."
At around 11.55am the Last Post was played by a band of trumpeters, followed by two minutes of silence in the Abbey and throughout the UK.
Reveille, a rousing rendition of the national anthem and a lament played by the Queen’s piper closed the state funeral.
After the service the Queen was returned to the sun drenched gun carriage by the bearer party and a procession travelled up to Wellington Arch at Hyde Park.
At Wellington Arch the Royal Family will watch as Her Majesty's coffin is transferred to the new state hearse.
The hearse will arrive at Windsor Castle at around 3.06pm and a procession up the Long Walk will carry the coffin to the castle.
A committal service will then take place in St George's Chapel inside Windsor Castle at 4pm where The Queen will be laid to rest alongside Prince Philip.
The Duke of Edinburgh died 18-months ago.
The Royal Family will then attend a private burial ceremony at 7.30pm.
