New footage of Meghan Markle entering the church at her wedding to Prince Harry is sending royal fans wild, with many believing it showcases a sweet moment between the bride and her (then almost) sister-in-law.
In the clip, published on an Instagram fan account dedicated to the royal newlyweds, Meghanis seen entering St George's Chapel, where she quickly receives her wedding bouquet from a female waiting inside the doors.
Fans were quick to name Kate Middleton as the offsider, given that the "helper" appears to be wearing a pale pastel outfit and headpiece similar to the Duchess of Cambridge's.
While it pains us to pour water on what would have been a delightful royal BFF moment, it's highly unlikely Kate was the one handing over the bouquet. That is, unless she then threw on her Invisibility Cloak and bolted down the aisle ahead of Meghan to land in her front-row seat alongside the Duchess of Cornwall for the actual ceremony.

In fact, it's much more likely that Meghan's bouquet-minder was Samantha Cohen, the Queen's assistant private secretary, who has been helping the new Duchess settle into her royal role over the past few months.
It's an easy mistake to make: Cohen shares the same colour hair as the Duchess of Cambridge, and the pair opted to wear outfits in a very similar pale shade for the May 19 wedding.

But while royal fans may be disappointed that the newly unearthed moment didn't feature a sweet gesture between Kate and Meghan, it's clear the new sisters-in-law have become pretty tight in recent months.
The pair are often seen smiling and laughing with each other at royal engagements — and who could forget their glamorous girls' day out at Wimbledon last month?
