King Charles Puts Meghan in Her Place: Awkward Video Resurfaces
A video capturing a royal reception at Buckingham Palace in 2019 has recently resurfaced, sparking massive reactions from fans.
The viral video features Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, with Meghan seemingly attempting to enter the room ahead of Camilla, Charles, and the Waleses.
The moment appears rather awkward, and viewers have been quick to express their thoughts.
The reception, hosted by the late Queen Elizabeth on March 5th, 2019, marked the 50th anniversary of the investiture of the Prince of Wales.
Prince Charles was accompanied by his wife, Camilla, as well as his two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, along with their wives, Catherine and Meghan, for the Buckingham Palace event in his honor.
In the video, Harry and Meghan can be seen trying to walk into the room before William and Catherine.
Prince William, however, seems aware of the situation and appears uncomfortable.
He subtly adjusts his position, perhaps attempting to shield the awkwardness from the cameras.
Comments on the video suggest that viewers found the interaction to be awkward.
One commenter pointed out that Harry and Meghan were not supposed to be present at that moment; they were meant to wait in the end room.
Only the Queen, Charles, Camilla, William, and Catherine were expected to be in the room, observing everything before the event commenced.
Others, including Harry and Meghan, were allowed to enter later.
Another commenter noted that it was the 50th anniversary of the Prince of Wales's investiture, indicating that only the heir and the next Prince of Wales should have entered the room.
Despite this, Meghan proceeds to follow Charles, even ahead of Camilla, William, and Catherine.
Eventually, Charles kindly asks them to stay back, and palace staff guide them to another door, where they must wait for other senior royals to exit first.
The whole situation is undeniably cringe-worthy.
A third commenter highlighted the irony of the situation, stating that Harry and Meghan's attempt to sneak into a room they were not supposed to be in, only to be scolded in front of cameras, turned out to be more embarrassing for them than if they had followed protocol and waited with dignity.
Yet another commenter regarded this as one of the most embarrassing moments caught on tape for Harry and Meghan, considering the numerous other embarrassing incidents they have faced.
The commenter expressed disbelief at their entitlement and disregard for protocol, particularly on such a public stage.
However, some praised King Charles for putting Meghan in her place.
One commenter expressed hope that those who criticize Charles for being weak and indulgent would watch the video repeatedly until it sinks in.
According to this perspective, Charles prioritizes his role as Prince of Wales and now King, placing crown and country above all else, just as his mother did.
The commenter also criticized Harry for allowing Meghan to defy protocol, suggesting a lack of assertiveness on his part.
Meanwhile, royal expert Angela Levin predicts that King Charles will invite Harry and Meghan to his 75th birthday celebrations.
Levin believes that Charles would want Harry and Meghan's children to attend.
However, she added that if Harry wants an apology, he can forget about it.
While both Harry and Meghan may receive an invitation, not every member of the family may choose to attend.
Harry could attend alone and bring Archie along, as he is now old enough to participate and spend time with his cousins.
In conclusion, the resurfaced video of Harry and Meghan attempting to enter a room ahead of other senior royals has garnered significant attention.
Viewers have shared mixed reactions, with some finding the situation awkward and embarrassing for the couple, while others praise King Charles for putting Meghan in her place.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to royal protocol and the challenges faced by Harry and Meghan within the royal family.
