Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joined Prince William and Kate Middleton on Saturday afternoon outside Windsor Castle.
The two couples delighted members of the public as they visited to view the tributes left to Queen Elizabeth II and thanked the public for their support. It was the first time the group had been seen together publicly in several months.
In one clip from the visit, posted on social media, Meghan can be seen holding a bouquet as an aide approaches her and leans over to say something. Users were quick to debate the contents of the video, with some arguing that Meghan was short and abrupt with the aide.
However, one person analysing the footage on twitter claims the video shows Meghan politely declining what may have been a request to take a bouquet of flowers from her hands. And the reason why is rather lovely. In a Twitter post that's been shared hundreds of times, Meghan seems to be explaining that she promised a member of the public she'd place the blooms at the gate.
Posting the exchange on social media, @royal_suitor interpreted the conversation and points out that Meghan says: "I told them I'd place them over there so it's OK. Thank you. I appreciate it though."
“I told them I’d place them over there so it’s OK. Thank you. I appreciate it though.”
Nice of Meghan to place flowers at the gate for some of the people in the crowd. pic.twitter.com/vGzm2gwuyh— R.S. Locke / Royal Suitor (@royal_suitor)
William and Harry were last seen together at the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh in 2021.
