During the event honoring the president of Korea, Kate's seating position drew attention as she was positioned behind a traditional multi-armed candlestick, inadvertently obstructing the view of the Princess of Wales. It's hard to ignore the resemblance to Meghan's position when she sang the National Anthem at the Queen's funeral, both struggling with visibility due to large candles.
Social media lit up with comments highlighting perceived double standards in reactions. One user pointed out the contrast, saying, "Remember the Queen's funeral when Meghan was behind the candles, and everyone lost their minds? Now it happens to Kate." However, another commentator recalled the giggles and mockery Meghan faced in a similar situation, noting that people laughed at her when she sat behind candles at the funeral.
Ironically, some observers noted that Meghan had once jokingly pointed at a candle in her face, and now Kate found herself blocked by a large candlestick with five candles. During key moments and speeches by King Charles III and President Yun Su Buu, Princess Kate remained mostly out of sight, seated to the right of the president at the head of the Buckingham Palace ballroom table.
Despite the growing buzz on social media, no official statement has come from the British royal family addressing this situation. This leaves Royal enthusiasts to ponder the significance of this moment for the Royal family and whether it reflects a persistent double standard in how Royal figures are treated.
