7 mistakes Meghan Markle has made since she became royalty
Although it sounds simple, being the Duchess of Sussex is a full-time job where the slightest mistake raises a lot of criticism.
Who says that being part of royalty is easy, then live it because while it has many benefits, there are also details that will haunt you for the rest of your life, because being a royal is a full-time job that you do not leave behind. when at home, where very high standards are also adhered to. Since Meghan Markle joined the British Royal Family, many speak of changes and fresh airs, but like her sister-in-law Kate Middleton did, the Duchess of Sussex has had to adapt to certain standards, and has not always fared well in All of them.
Here are seven times Meghan Markle made mistakes that are not at all royal:
1. She walked alone to the altar: Before she was formally part of royalty, Meghan already committed some mistakes. This is not exactly governed by a rule, but it was a royal tradition that all the brides in the family had followed until Meghan had to walk alone to the altar where her future husband, Prince Harry, was waiting for her. But the journey was not entirely alone, because halfway there she met Prince Charles, the groom's father, who finished escorting her.
2. She spoke openly about feminist movements: it happened, again, before she was Duchess, but she was already living with Prince Harry and attending events with her brothers-in-law Catherine and William of Cambridge. It happened when she attended the Royal Foundation debate where she expressed being in favor of the feminist movements that are currently taking place. "I think now with all the campaigns that we are seeing, like Me Too and Time's Up, there is no better time to shine a light on women who feel empowered and the people who help and support them, including men," she said. It happens that as a member of the Royal Family, she cannot be for or against these types of movements, much less express political favoritism. Of course, it can help understand which movements it supports through the patronage it exercises, such as supporting NGOs dedicated to countering gender violence.
3. Not knowing who gets into the car first: it was one of his first mistakes as a Duchess and with Queen Elizabeth II herself. Meghan accompanied the queen to an official ceremony without her husband for the first time, and when getting into a car, she was completely unaware who would get up first, if she or the queen. She asked those who were accompanying her, but no one seemed to know anything about the protocol, so she resolved it by asking Isabel II, to which she told her that she would go first. Remember that the queen is always the last in certain matters, for example, in large events she is the last to arrive because her presence is one of the most anticipated.
4. Cross the legs: the royals should not cross their legs, they should be placed one next to the other and tilt them to one side. It is a gesture that is practically prohibited in real acts. The Duchess of Sussex had this detail during the Queen's Young Leaders Awards ceremony at Buckingham Palace with Elizabeth II.
5. Be affectionate: although Diana of Wales has already broken these taboos and was so kind and affectionate with whoever she wanted, the truth is that members of the Royal Family are forbidden to be very affectionate with the public for security reasons. It is also not advisable for them to be affectionate with each other and it is better to be professional during official events, something that Meghan and Harry seem to care little about.
6. The Wimbledon hat: As we know, royals have a certain dress code to follow, and Meghan almost skipped one during the Wimbledon women's final which she attended with her sister-in-law Kate Middleton. On that occasion the duchess chose an exquisite look of white trousers with a striped shirt, but what attracted the most attention was her hat, also spectacular, but which Meghan could not use due to a rule that prohibits those who wear a hat they sit in the royal box, because they obstruct the view of the rest.
7. A problem with the bra: it happened on her birthday, when she and her husband attended the wedding of a friend of the prince. Meghan wore a spectacular black and white dress that ended up overshadowed thanks to an oversight that revealed her bra, an issue that should never happen to a royal of her height. @worldly
