While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle kept themselves pretty scarce, their presence was definitely felt at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations over the weekend.

While their attendance was relatively drama-free, some staunch royalists claimed they noticed a signal of disdain from Meghan to her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.
Harry and Meghan were invited to attend a Thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral as part of the Jubilee, and were visible among the congregation of guests.
While Meghan and Kate weren’t seen speaking face to face, it’s been claimed by some that Meghan averted her eyes and turned her head away as the Duchess made her grand entrance with her husband, Prince William.
Fans of the royals took to social media to point out the gaffe.
“Did everyone notice the woman in white hat (megz) turned her head to the left when the Duchess of Cambridge was walking past…” one Twitter user wrote.
“Top shot! She definitely turned away,” another commented.
“Wow it is so obvious when you see it,” another added.
Rumours of tension between the sisters-in-law have been rife for years now, with reports emerging from Harry and Meghan’s 2018 wedding that Meghan had made Kate cry regarding an issue with dresses for the flower girls.
However, in a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan said the opposite was true.
“No, no, the reverse happened. And I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone, but because it was a really hard week of the wedding, and she was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologised,” Meghan explained.
“I don’t think it’s fair to her to get into the details of that because she apologised and I’ve forgiven her,” Meghan continued.
“What was hard to get over was being blamed for something that not only I didn’t do but that happened to me … Everyone in the institution knew it wasn’t true.”
Meghan and Harry’s relationship has reportedly been strained since they stepped back as senior royals in 2020, in a move coined ‘Megxit’.
However, their return for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations indicates the end of any major rift between the couple and the rest of the central royal family.
