#3 Sitting in a Certain Way
In 2018, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended a summit for Young Leaders at the invitation of the Queen. During a photo opportunity at the event, Meghan sat down and chatted with the person sitting next to her. However, some media outlets covered this ordinary event in a sensational way, with headlines like “See the EXACT MOMENT Meghan switches from crossed legs to ‘duchess slant’ at palace party” and “Meghan realized she messed up her royal leg cross.”
Some media outlets have criticized Meghan Markle for sitting with her legs crossed while seated next to the Queen. However, this criticism is irrational as other members of the Royal Family, including Kate Middleton, Princess Diana, and the Queen herself have also been photographed sitting with their legs crossed.
