Royal events are typically characterized by their grandeur and precision, but even in the most polished settings, awkward moments can happen.<\/p>\n
One such incident unfolded between the Princess of Wales<\/a> and Meghan Markle<\/a> at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle as the Royal Family were taking their seats.<\/p>\n Members of the Royal Family paid their final respects during the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Committal Service on September 19, 2022.<\/a><\/p>\n As the family lined up to enter the chapel, Prince William had to guide his family members on when they could proceed down the row of seats.<\/p>\n Arriving first, he instructed his eldest son, Prince George, to pause, but Kate seemed unaware and attempted to walk down the aisle.<\/p>\n Speculation about Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the rest of the Royal Family has been rife since the couple decided to step back from Royal duties in early 2020.<\/p>\n Despite maintaining cordial public appearances, this fleeting moment of awkwardness seemed to remind Royal watchers of the underlying family tensions.<\/p>\n The monarch passed away at her Scottish residence, Balmoral Castle, on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96, marking the end of an extraordinary 70-year reign.<\/p>\n She was laid to rest on September 19, 2022, in The King George VI Memorial Chapel alongside her husband, Prince Philip, who passed away in 2021.<\/p>\n Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, were present at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, along with Prince Harry<\/a> and Meghan Markle<\/a>.<\/p>\n This somber event occurred just a year after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s explosive interview with American talk show host Oprah Winfrey, where they accused the Royal Family of bullying and racism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Royal events are typically characterized by their grandeur and precision, but even in the most polished settings, awkward…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400311,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7721,7719,7718,533,7720,1281,447,1763,138149,7710,519,8599,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-400310","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","10":"tag-duke-of-sussex","11":"tag-harry","12":"tag-kate-middleton","13":"tag-meghan","14":"tag-meghan-markle","15":"tag-prince-harry","16":"tag-queen-elizabeth-ii","17":"tag-queen-elizabeth-ii-funeral","18":"tag-royal-families","19":"tag-royal-family","20":"tag-royal-family-tensions","21":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115152425029223023","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400310"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400310\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400311"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400310"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
