Meghan Markle Stands Behind Kate Middleton At Royal Events For This Reason

Kate Middleton stands in front of Meghan Markle at royal events for a reason.

When the royals gather together at a big event, many noticed that the Duchess of Cambridge is always positioned in front of the Duchess of Sussex. According to Majesty magazine managing editor Joe Little, this is due to the pecking order.

“She was not as prominent perhaps as some people might have expected, but there's a pecking order,” he explained.

“There was no slight intended, but William being the older, more senior brother would go out [first] with his wife,” Little continued.

The royals have a number of subtle protocols during a ceremony. The least important will arrive first while the most important will come last. This is also the reason why Queen Elizabeth II is always the last royal to arrive during their gatherings.

Aside from Markle’s position at royal events, many netizens were surprised when she stood in a different balcony on Sunday’s Remembrance Day. Middleton, Queen Elizabeth II and Camilla Parker Bowles were on the same balcony while Markle was on a different terrace with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier’s wife Elke Büdenbender.

Netizens speculated that Markle didn’t join the monarch, Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Cornwall because the balcony couldn’t accommodate the four of them. Meanwhile, others thought that the royals slighted Markle for doing so.

It was explained that Markle’s position in the royal family was behind their arrangement. Camilla and Middleton are future queen consorts due to their husbands Prince Charles and Prince William, respectively. On the other hand, Markle is unlikely to be the next queen as Prince Harry is already way down the line of succession.

In related news, a video report has claimed that Prince Harry is divorcing Markle due to his secret love for Middleton. The report alleged that the Duke of Sussex and Duke of Cambridge are having an affair, but it didn’t provide any support to its controversial claim. Instead, it talked about Marke being against blood sports and Middleton joining the royals on Boxing Day. It also mentioned the men Markle was romantically involved with before meeting Prince Harry.

Many netizens weren’t pleased with the video report and said that it was “absolutely evil” and pure “clickbait.”
