She was also observed to be “quietly devastated” and teary at her final royal meet and greet with young leaders from the Queen’s Commonwealth.

Telegraph columnist Bryony Gordon, who was present during Meghan’s final engagement, spoke about the Duchess’ “teary” response in a recent article for the publication.

“The pervading emotion on Monday, as I watched the Duchess carry out her final private engagement, seemed to be profound sadness,” Bryony began.

“Sadness that it had come to this; sadness that they could not make it work and sadness that less than two years since that glittering fairy tale wedding, the first person of colour to join the British royal family was off. 

“How ironic that her final engagement was to be a Commonwealth service that celebrated diversity, uniqueness, and the strength we draw from embracing each other and our differences,” she wrote.
