“Of course she was not wearing a mic.” Others speculated that the square may have been some kind of medical device, such as an insulin pump, or a waist-cinching internal belt. Meghan supporters, meanwhile, were aghast at the suggestion she was wearing a recording device.
An insider, however, told Page Six that the accusation was baseless. “This is insane and actually damaging to her. Of course, she was not wearing a mic,” a source close to Markle revealed.
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle Reportedly Didn't Talk to Each Other at All During the Queen's Funeral Events.
Meghan Markle has received praise online after a clip of her making a final curtsy to Queen Elizabeth II during her state funeral in September 2022 was uploaded to social media.
According to the current king, Charles of England, it was "not suitable or appropriate", as the final gathering was limited to "next of kin". At least that is the information from The Sun. On the other hand, Kate Middleton was not invited either. How did Markle take this royal snub?
Often Royals will be expected to shake a lot of hands during funerals and large events, so this could be part of the reason that gloves were worn or taken by the women. Another reason is modesty - the Queen wore gloves partially because she wanted to ensure that no part of her arms were exposed.
According to People, only royals that are “working members of royal family who hold military rank” were permitted to wear their uniforms at the funeral. Prince Harry was stripped of his military titles after leaving the royal family and moving to the United States, per The Guardian.
According to protocol, Meghan is supposed to curtsy to those who outrank her. This includes the Queen, Prince Phillip, Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla. Because William is due to be the future King of England, he also receives a curtsy, and by extension so does Kate Middleton.

At the Palace of Westminster, the royals stood for a short service, and as they exited, Meghan, Kate, and other royal women curtsied to the Queen's coffin.
Princess Kate's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, paid their respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II at the monarch's funeral.
A total surprise. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were uninvited to the Queen's pre-funeral reception.
Following Queen Elizabeth II's demise, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly 'complained' about being "snubbed and abused" by the Royal Family during the activities surrounding her funeral. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had already arrived in the UK when the Queen passed away.
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry sat behind King Charles during the Queen's funeral today. The Royal Family united in grief as the poignant service for Her Majesty began at 11am. The King and Queen Consort sat in the ornate Canada Club chairs, with Camilla next to the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.
Prince Harry and Prince Andrew might be the only living members of Queen Elizabeth II's immediate family to have served in the military in wartime, but strict royal protocols meant they did not wear a uniform during the monarch's funeral.
Prince William defied royal protocol at the King's Coronation when he chose not to bow to Queen Camilla at the Coronation Concert.
He turns to look at his father but avoids looking at his stepmother.” James calls this “a unique example of selective bowing,” noting that William and his two eldest children Prince George and Princess Charlotte also opted not to bow or curtsy to Camilla.
Kate Middleton's decision not to curtsy to Queen Camilla was a clear indication of her disapproval of King Charles' wife and her mishandling of his coronation, according to sources. While Kate is known for her poised public image, insiders reveal that she is no pushover when it comes to royal politics.
Questions focused on the couples flooded social media, with many questioning whether the new title meant Sophie no longer had to curtsy to Meghan since they are now both Duchesses. But the fact of the matter is Sophie has never had to curtsy to Meghan, nor had Edward ever bowed to Harry.
As the Countess of Wessex, Sophie had to curtsy to the Duchess of Sussex because it ranked Meghan higher, but this is no longer the case.
"The general rule of thumb to remember is that a Royal Highness does not curtsy to another Royal Highness," Myka Meier, an etiquette expert and the author of the book Modern Etiquette Made Easy, tells PEOPLE.
Typically, royals are buried in elegant formal clothing and jewellery. This is often a combination of clothing provided by family members and/or loved ones, and clothing commissioned specifically for the funeral.
Why does Princess Anne wear a uniform? Princess Anne, 72, is usually decked out in full military uniform at important royal events, but curiously, she's never been in the military. Instead, the reason she is allowed to wear a military uniform, is that she has several honours and titles.
