She shared how her family has processed the death of the longest-reigning monarch, “In big moments in life, you get a lot of perspectives. It makes you wonder what you want to focus your energy on. Right now, we feel energized and excited about all of the things we’ve been building toward. We’re also focused on our foundation. So much of the work we do includes the philanthropic space.”

After the death of the late Queen, the Duchess of Sussex was not allowed to join her husband to see the former.

However, she later joined her husband along with Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince William, and Kate Middleton to honor their grandmother by greeting mourners outside Windsor Castle.
