Hey there, friends! Let’s talk about something that got a lot of people buzzing. On Sunday, November 11, many royal enthusiasts noticed that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, wasn’t standing alongside her royal family members during the Remembrance Day Service. Instead, she was watching from a different balcony. But here’s the thing—there’s more to the story than meets the eye.
During this deeply reflective ceremony honoring the brave soldiers who fought in World War I, Queen Elizabeth, Kate Middleton, and Camilla Parker Bowles stood proudly together on one balcony. However, pregnant Meghan Markle was seen observing from another balcony outside the Cenotaph War Memorial in London. Now, before you jump to conclusions, let me explain why this wasn’t a royal snub.
Why Was Meghan Watching From a Different Balcony?
Now, let’s clear the air. The reason Meghan wasn’t standing alongside the other ladies isn’t because she was being snubbed. According to People, the balcony windows are quite small, which means they can only fit three or four people comfortably. That’s the practical side of it. But there’s also a royal tradition called the “pecking order,” which dictates how the royal family arranges themselves during public appearances.

Think back to June when Meghan made her official debut at the Trooping the Colour. At that event, she stood behind Kate Middleton and Prince William on the balcony. Joe Little, an editor at Majesty magazine, explained it like this: “There’s a pecking order. Meghan wasn’t slighted—William, being the older and more senior brother, would go out first with his wife.” But here’s the kicker—Meghan was still in a great spot. “She was central rather than being in the front row and along the balcony to the left or right,” Little added.
