Sandra Oh, 51, was one of the more surprising faces to see at Queen Elizabeth II‘s funeral on Monday, September 19. The Canadian-born actress joined Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and members of the Canadian delegation in the procession at Westminster Abbey. Sandra, who was appointed to the Order of Canada a few months ago, dressed in all black and wore a Canadian badge.

Sandra was part of the procession that included holders of the Victoria Cross, The George Cross, and the Orders of Chivalry, according to BBC. The Grey’s Anatomy alum walked with other members of the Order of Canada, including Olympic swimmer Mark Tewksbury and famous musician Gregory Charles. Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie led the Canadian procession.

The Order of Canada was created by Queen Elizabeth II in 1967 and is the second-highest civilian honor in Canada. Sandra was appointed to the Order of Canada as an Officer in June 2022 “for her stage and screen success.” The honor came just two months after Sandra’s popular show Killing Eve ended.

Like what an absurd collision of worlds.”

Hundreds of people are inside Westminster Abbey with millions more watching from home around the global. Those in attendance include her son King Charles III, her grandsons Prince William and Prince Harry, and her great-grandchildren Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
