And although one would be forgiven for assuming that somebody simply forgot to take their place in the chapel, that's not what happened.
Rather, that seat had to be left empty because the Queen doesn't want anybody sitting in front of her.
Yes. Really.
According to TIME, it's tradition to leave the seat before the Queen empty at royal weddings so nobody obstructs her view.
Why can't the Queen simply sit in the front row then, we hear you cry.
Why doesn't she just take the best seat in the house, you wail.
Honestly, we don't know - the only plausible explanation here is that she likes to be a bit awkward and, knowing full well that she in fact the Queen, can get away with it.
The same issue arose back over the summer when an empty seat was present for Meghan and Harry's wedding too.
And while people incorrectly assumed that the empty seat was actually a lovely tribute to Princess Diana, it unfortunately wasn't - it was just so Her Majesty could see.
