When Meghan Markle made her official Trooping the Colour debut last Saturday, she wasn’t front and centre on Buckingham Palace balcony. The Duchess of Sussex was notably standing behind her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton and brother-in-law, Prince William.
On researching, it all came down to a royal pecking order.
A royal source tells us: “She was not as prominent perhaps as some people might have expected. But, there’s a pecking order. There was no slight intended, but Prince William being the older, more senior brother would go out first with his wife”.
Meghan’s balcony position would have come from her.
And, if you noticed, there were a lot of kids who everyone would want at the front. During the annual celebration, the Duchess of Sussex, arrived to Buckingham Palace along her husband, Prince Harry.

Meghan Markle opted for a pale pink off-the-shoulder dress by Carolina Herrera with a matching hat by Philip Treacy. The day started with a grand military parade and the arrivals of the royals via carriages.
Once everyone arrived, the British royal family gathered together on the balcony to observe the iconic fly-past by the Royal Air Force. And the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan was all smiles as she took in the historic annual event.
