At one point, she reportedly told her husband, Tim Laurence, to ignore the shouts from outside. Later, she seemed to draw attention to the musical performance inside the Abbey, asking nearby guests about the piece being played.
Her actions were interpreted by some royal watchers as an attempt to keep the atmosphere relaxed despite the tension beyond the Abbey walls.
