Meghan Markle<\/a> may look every bit the royal but it would appear there are a few too many rules and regulations for the 36-year old (or anyone for that matter) to keep straight.<\/p>\n

The former actress, now Duchess of Sussex, stepped out for Ascot (similar to Randwick or Flemington) and was seen in a video chatting with the queen and Prince Harry when she made what can only be described as a ‘whoopsie’.<\/p>\n

When husband Harry moved around the Queen, he made sure not to turn his back to her.<\/p>\n

Meghan however, possibly off-guard can be seen in video and images turning her back on the queen to speak with others who had called her attention.<\/p>\n

While we mightn’t consider it a faux pas, the transgression is considered to be rude and a breach of protocol by Buckingham Palace according to Jane Estoe\u2019s book, ‘Elizabeth: Reigning in Style’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The news comes after a royal expert weighed in on the fallout from Thomas Markle’s interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHarry and Meghan will undoubtedly be upset by this,” he told The Express<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Thomas Markle<\/a> is reclusive, his health is poor and he obviously feels under strain. It was an emotional interview.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thomas also explained further about the staged paparazzi photos:<\/p>\n

“I thought this would be a nice way of me improving my look,” he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Well obviously that all went to hell. And I feel bad about it, I apologised for it and that’s all I can do. I can’t do much beyond that. That was a mistake… I didn’t do this for money, I did this to change my image. <\/em><\/p>\n

“I spoke to them both and I apologised, he continued. I realised it was a serious mistake.. But hard to take it back… They were very forgiving, it wasn’t that difficult. Both Harry and Meghan were very forgiving about it.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
