Royal Etiquette Faux Pas: Meghan Markle Caught Breaking Rules Again
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has once again found herself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
A recent video clip that has gone viral on social media shows Meghan committing a royal protocol breach by kicking at the late Queen's chair during a royal event at Westminster Abbey.
This incident has sparked outrage among royal watchers and fans alike.
Despite multiple attempts to educate Meghan on royal etiquette, it seems that she continues to struggle with adhering to the strict rules and protocols of the royal family.
The late Queen had reportedly asked Duchess Sophie to mentor Meghan, but her efforts were met with resistance.
Even William's secretary was tasked with guiding Meghan as she navigated her new royal life, but to no avail.
The latest incident involving Meghan kicking at the Queen's chair is not the first time she has been caught flouting royal protocols.
In a previous event, Meghan raised eyebrows by wearing a funeral black dress, which was deemed inappropriate for the occasion.
The recent clip from the 100th anniversary celebration of the Royal Air Force further highlights Meghan's disregard for royal etiquette.
During the event at Westminster Abbey, Meghan was captured on camera slipping her right leg over her left, a move considered improper in royal circles.
She quickly corrected herself by sliding her ankle down, only to follow up with the controversial act of kicking at the late Queen's chair.
This behavior has drawn sharp criticism from royal enthusiasts and social media users.
Critics have pointed out that Meghan's actions reflect a lack of respect for royal traditions and decorum.
One social media user remarked, “Meghan don't kick at the chair, the Queen doesn't like that,” while another expressed disappointment in Meghan's behavior, labeling it as “rude” and “awful.”
The incident has reignited debates on Meghan's integration into the royal family and her understanding of royal protocols.
Mika Meyer, founder of Beaumont etiquette, shed light on the proper way for royal women to sit near the Queen, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a formal posture at all times.
According to Meyer, sitting with knees and ankles together exudes sophistication and respect, qualities that Meghan seems to overlook in her public appearances.
In addition to the chair-kicking incident, Meghan has faced criticism for other breaches of royal protocol, including gate-crashing a photo op for senior royals and wearing inappropriate attire to Wimbledon.
Her decision to wear a white hat to the event, despite being advised against it, further fueled speculation about her understanding of royal customs.
As Meghan continues to navigate her role within the royal family, her actions and choices are closely scrutinized by both supporters and critics.
The ongoing saga of Meghan's etiquette blunders serves as a reminder of the challenges she faces in adapting to the traditions and expectations of royal life.
Despite her efforts to fit in, Meghan's missteps only seem to widen the gap between her and the royal establishment.
