Fans of Meghan Markle have created a division on the internet after they claimed that she was the only Royal family member who wept at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.

Nonetheless, many images clearly showed other Royals crying as well. The Duchess of Sussex was seen and captured wiping away a tear during the Queen's funeral ceremony, which was held at Westminster Abbey on September 19.

A Twitter user (@SussexDetective) had posted the picture of Meghan wiping away her tears and claimed that she was the only member of the Royal family who cried for the Queen. However, the user disabled the option of replying to the contentious tweet.


Nevertheless, the claim did not go well with all the netizens as it sparked fury on the micro-blogging platform. Several Twitter users then started to post pictures of other members of the Royal Family, wherein they could be seen crying. Many images from the funeral showed King Charles III crying when he looked at his mother's coffin in the Abbey.
