Medical Assistant Paisley Chambers-Smith helped pull the gun carriage carrying the coffin.
She wore a blue dress at the Windsor Castle ceremony yesterday as there is no Navy ceremonial maternity wear.
She said: “Charles asked when the baby was due.”
The medic works alongside civilian medical staff at an NHS hospital when not on deployment.
Paisley said after the ceremony: “It’s not something I imagined doing so soon in my career.
“The training was so hard but worth it and on the day it was a massive honour to be there.”
