"There’ll be a lot of things said & written about Harry & Meghan’s wedding (and rightly so) but one of the stand outs - for me - was the empty seat right next to William ... for Princess Diana."https://twitter.com/adele_marie90/status/997831609624735745 Meghan and Harry had found other, subtle ways to honour Diana too.
