Meanwhile, William and Kate sat across the aisle, joined by their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and then Peter Phillips and Zara and Mike Tindall.
Camilla sat next to Princess Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, who sat beside Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie Wessex.

World leaders were among the 2,000 mourners gathering at the abbey for the service - including Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as well as European leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
US President Joe Biden sat 14 rows back on the south transept behind the Polish leader and in front of the Czech Republic. The First Lady Jill Biden sat next to Switzerland.
Directly across the aisle from Mr Biden's place, the seat was labelled the Republic of Korea.
Members of European royal families also attended the ceremony.
But invitations were not sent to Russia and Belarus due to the invasion of Ukraine while Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, Myanmar's military junta and Syria's Bashar Assad were also excluded.
