Prince William Nods Off While Sitting Next to Meghan Markle at Church Service
Just two days after becoming a father for the third time, Prince William was seen nodding off in a church pew Wednesday afternoon while attending a war memorial service.
William, who was sitting next to his future sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, was caught on camera as he caught some shut-eye.
The exhaustion of having a newborn son at home may have taken its toll on the future King of England.
William’s wife, Kate Middleton, was not in attendance.

Prince Harry and his soon-to-be wife attended the services. Markle dazzled the crowd at Westminster Abbey in central London with a chic black hat.
Just before the service began, Prince Harry laid a wreath on behalf of Queen Elizabeth at The London Cenotaph to honor the servicemen and women of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who perished in war.

The event was a service to commemorate and pay tribute to the fallen members of Anzac (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps).

Prince Harry and Prince William’s father, Prince Charles, celebrated the day in France, where he laid a wreath at Villers-Bretonneux.
“Today, as we mark a century since they gave their lives, let us resolve to continue to fulfil their trust, so that every passing year will only add to the measure of their honour.”
