Royal Family News: Camilla Parker Bowles Tried Her Best To Welcome Meghan Markle Into The Royal Family

According to royal biographer Andrew Morton, Camilla Parker Bowles broke royal protocol when she gave Meghan Markle a kiss on the cheek and a hug during their first joint public appearance together.

Anyone who has been paying attention will know that the royals are not people who like to give out hugs and especially not in public. But Camilla truly did want to make Meghan feel comfortable on that day.

Morton put it this way, “This rare royal gesture was a sign of how quickly the American actor had been accepted and treated with genuine affection by the Royal Family. On that day, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, who had previously advised Kate Middleton on the finer points of protocol during her royal apprenticeship, was, without saying a word, signaling to the watching world that Meghan was now ‘one of us.'”
