Well, Elizabeth is the Queen so that makes her the boss anyway. But, what about the time when it’s a royal wedding? Who is the boss then?
It’s Queen Elizabeth, of course.
On the 19th of May, Meghan Markle may have been the royal bride, but there’s only one Queen. Here we have five things you might have missed about the Queen’s appearance at Prince Harry’s wedding.

She had the best seat in the house.
Some people said that the empty seat next to Prince William during the ceremony was a tribute to the late Princess Diana. And, the empty seat at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, in reality, was a matter of royal protocol.
A royal insider explained that the seat in front of the Queen is always left empty. Why? So that she can have a nice view. The insider also revealed that her favourite spot was where the Queen was seated.
She didn’t sing ‘God save the Queen’ at the ceremony: Well, this one is pretty simple we guess. When you actually think about it, it might be a little awkward to sing a song about yourself.
