Rare Clip Shows Queen Asking Meghan Markle to Leave Balcony in Funeral Black at Royal Air Force Event
In a rare and intriguing clip, the Queen can be seen asking Meghan Markle to leave the balcony during the 100th anniversary celebration of the Royal Air Force, as she was dressed in funeral black.
Meghan's fashion choices have always attracted attention, from defying royal fashion norms even before her marriage to the present day.
For the milestone event, the Duchess of Sussex opted for a little black dress by deal, breaking yet another royal tradition.
Since marrying Prince Harry on May 19, 2018, Meghan has mostly chosen neutral-colored outfits for public appearances, with only a few exceptions such as the olive green dress she wore to Prince Louis' christening ceremony.
Black is traditionally considered a color of mourning, and members of the royal family typically avoid wearing it.
However, Meghan's decision to wear black did not go unnoticed.
The Queen, on the other hand, stood out in an RAF blue coat and dress accented with turquoise, complemented by a matching hat and a diamond star brooch on her shoulder.
Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, chose a mint Alexander McQueen coat dress with a matching hat by Sean Barrett, along with a diamond and ruby D'Arce brooch, a prestigious honor from the Air Cadets.
Meghan's choice of attire disappointed many netizens, who took to social media to troll her.
Some criticized her for looking old, while others rebuked her for breaking royal traditions.
This is not the first time Meghan has faced backlash for her fashion choices.
Previously, she received criticism for wearing an ill-fitted dress at Prince Harry's cousin's wedding and for wearing an off-shoulder dress at Trooping the Colour 2018, which was seen as a breach of royal protocol.
The contrast between Meghan's black outfit and the near-white colors worn by other female members of the royal family did not go unnoticed.
Prince William's expression appeared to be one of surprise when she joined them.
It is worth noting that the royal family typically reserves black attire for funerals.
If we closely examine the official videos from the event, we can observe the reactions of the late Queen, Catherine, and William, who all seemed surprised by Meghan's choice of dress.
There is even a picture capturing the Queen turning back and looking at Meghan and Harry with a serious expression, while the Waleses and other senior royals seemed to avoid interacting with Meghan as much as possible.
Furthermore, there is an interesting detail that may have gone unnoticed by many.
The Sussexes left the balcony earlier than the other members.
Sources at the time speculated that this was a directive from the Queen to Meghan, possibly due to her mismatched attire.
This incident is not the first time Meghan has been asked to leave a royal event due to a breach of protocol.
King Charles reportedly asked her to leave his 70th birthday garden party.
In a short video clip, Meghan was caught sticking her tongue out after Prince Harry got distracted by a bee while delivering a speech honoring his father's achievements.
Camilla, who was standing next to Meghan, allegedly felt upset by her behavior.
A Twitter user suggested that Prince Harry and Meghan were asked to leave the event because of Meghan's inappropriate actions, including taking gifts and sticking her tongue out at Camilla.
Another netizen, who originally shared the 45-second clip in October 2019, claimed that the Markles were escorted out along with their entourage 40 minutes into the event due to Meghan's behavior.
It is clear that Meghan's presence at royal events has sometimes caused controversy and raised eyebrows.
