Once inside, the 62-year-old sat in the second row and across the aisle from her ex-husband, Prince Andrew. She was situated next to their daughter Princess Eugenie and the Queen's nephew David Armstrong-Jones.

"She leaves behind an extraordinary legacy: the most fantastic example of duty and service and steadfastness, and a constant steadying presence as our head of state for more than 70 years. She has given her whole life selflessly to the people of the U.K. and the Commonwealth," wrote the mom-of-two. "To me, she was the most incredible mother-in-law and friend. I will always be grateful to her for the generosity she showed me in remaining close to me even after my divorce. I will miss her more than words can express."

Just last year, an insider spilled that the exes were not only living together, but rebuilding their relationship as well.

"Sarah and Andrew have been closer than ever in the past year," a source told Vanity Fair at the time. "They still love and care for each other a great deal and have been living together during the pandemic. It has rekindled something and I can see a second wedding happening if it all goes Andrew’s way."
