And yet Harry and Meghan tried to be the main characters, ruining what should have been a display of calm and decorum.
Harry and Meghan Play the Clowns
It is a long-standing tradition that the royals do a walkabout to greet the public after a death in the family. Hundreds of royal fans were at Windsor when her grandsons Prince Harry and Prince William made their appearance, their wives by their sides.
It was eerily reminiscent of their walkabout in 1997 when they were 15 and 12, after the death of their mother Diana.
And yet the mood was different, with the crowd expecting the passing of the 96-year-old regent. What was not expected was the foolish way that Meghan would act.
Meghan Acted Foolish

The Sussexes ran from the monarchy in 2020 and just happened to be in London for a separate event when the queen died.
According to the Daily Mail “Meghan had forgotten the proper etiquette when it came to dealing with the bunches of flowers grieving royalists were handing them.”
The royals receive training on royal protocol so Meghan either skipped that class or didn’t take the time to remember how to act civilly. In this instance, when a royal is given flowers they pass them on to their private aides.
Meghan Markle Forgot Royal Protocol
There are two reasons for this. The aides lay the flowers properly, permitting the royals to shake hands with mourners, and it minimizes the potential threat of dangerous substances or explosives potentially placed in the bouquets from harming the royals.

Video shows Meghan nearly fighting with an aide, refusing to hand over a bouquet. Meghan seems to say she will place the flowers herself after a helper asks “Would you like any help with those at all?”
Social media caught the issue and stated that the failed princess “bit his head off” while another noted that Meghan wanted a PR shot of her “laying down the flowers with all the others.”
Determined that Meghan’s ride behavior not ruin the day, a second, female aide intervened and the Duchess handed over the flowers.
It makes sense that security measures are in place on these occasions but this was not the first time that Meghan ignored rules. Before this she “seemingly try to walk in from of the more senior royals, in this case William and Kate.”
Even more egregious, “on her first ever engagement with the Queen in June 2018 she raised a few eyebrows when she was filmed entering a car before the monarch.”
Tell us royal fans, why do you think that Meghan was not taught how to respect her elders?
