A resurfaced clip from a previous event at Buckingham Palace has brought attention to Meghan Markle’s breach of protocol during the 50th-anniversary celebration of Prince Charles’s investiture as the Prince of Wales. The footage captures an awkward moment where King Charles seemed to address Meghan’s position at the palace, adding a new perspective to past events that have already unfolded.
As the royal family gathered for the celebration, Meghan and Harry’s unconventional entrance raised eyebrows. Breaking from the order of precedence and royal rank, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived ahead of the Queen, Prince Charles, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. This departure from tradition sparked controversy, especially when Meghan and Harry attempted to walk ahead of William and Catherine.
The video shows King Charles questioning Meghan and Harry’s presence, requesting them to step back in line after the established protocol. Despite the instructions from Charles and William and guidance from palace staff, Meghan continued to push forward, attempting to enter the room before other senior royals. Eventually, they were stopped by bodyguards and redirected to another entrance, emphasizing the breach of protocol.
The incident unfolded amid ongoing rumors of tensions between Meghan and Catherine. Despite hopes for warmth and affection between the couples during the anniversary celebration, photographs revealed a lack of interaction. Body language experts observed that Meghan and Harry appeared to be trying too hard to convey a friendly demeanor, raising further questions about the dynamics within the royal family.
The event marks the first public appearance of the two couples together since the Royal Family’s Christmas outing, adding fuel to speculations surrounding the relationship between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
