She said: “We were right on the very front it was unbelievable.
“We arrived around 8am but we got a very good space, we thought about going to the Long Walk but there was a lot of people.
“We walked about and got a good space, we walked into the high street and we were right on the very front it was amazing.

“The atmosphere was unbelievable, with the good weather and everybody was in good form.
“We met lots of lovely people from everywhere. Really lovely people.
“There was no screen around us, you could hear the people cheering, the policeman we were speaking to was keeping us well informed.
“The day just flew in, everybody was in really good form.”

Esther added: “Harry was on our side, so we got a better view of Meghan, we gave them a wave and cheered and blew them a kiss, they waved back, it was amazing to be so close.
“The dress was amazing, it was very much her.
“It was simple and elegant, very much her, she doesn’t need anything over-stated.”
