A 2019 video of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at Buckingham Palace has resurfaced and is drawing criticism online. The video, taken during a reception marking the 50th anniversary of the Prince of Wales’s investiture, shows the then-royal couple briefly walking ahead of Queen Elizabeth II and then-Prince Charles.
The footage shows the Queen and Charles pausing to observe displayed items. While other royals, including Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Camilla Parker Bowles, hung back, Harry and Meghan, then pregnant with Archie, continued walking. This seemingly unintentional move appeared to break royal protocol.
Reports indicate Charles instructed the couple to wait, but they were subsequently escorted away by an aide. The incident has sparked online debate, with some questioning Harry and Meghan’s understanding of royal protocol and others criticizing what they perceive as disrespectful behavior.
Some comments also questioned Prince Harry’s role in the incident, suggesting he should have been more aware of protocol. The discussion has extended to platforms like Reddit, where users have shared similar sentiments.
