The footage shows the Duchess of Sussex, looking stunning in her Artesia Babaton Maxwell dress, being greeted by co-founder Kate Robertson, who gracefully curtsied as a sign of respect. However, instead of reciprocating the gesture, Meghan opted for a hug. Oh, the awkwardness was palpable.
Now, let's play the devil's advocate here. Some may view Meghan's action as keeping it real and treating everyone equally, which can be considered admirable. On the other hand, some critics argue that she should have followed protocol and respected the tradition. They even suggest that the hug was nothing but a calculated move for the cameras.
Supporters of Meghan, of course, see it differently. They applaud her for breaking Royal norms and treating others as equals. However, let's be realistic, there's a time and place for everything, and in such a formal event, adhering to Royal customs might have been more appropriate.
Some even claim that Meghan's discomfort with the curtsy was evident, and Robertson curtsied too late, leaving Meghan in an awkward position. So, was the hug given out of genuine warmth or embarrassment? We may never know for sure.
But one thing is clear: Meghan Markle is not afraid to shake up the Royal status quo. Whether you see her as a refreshing change or a social climber, there's no denying that she's willing to break boundaries and challenge traditions.
Now, I won't pass judgment here; we all have our moments of awkwardness and discomfort. However, as a member of the Royal Family, one must navigate such situations with grace and poise. After all, being in the spotlight comes with its share of challenges, especially when the world is watching your every move.
