Wednesday, as Kate Middleton and Prince William, bowed before the Queen’s casket, the Sussex couple followed closely behind.

Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were widely praised, some people jumped on the bandwagon to criticize Meghan.

Another added: “Did my eyes deceive me, or were Harry and Meghan actually holding hands as they walked out of Westminster Hall?! Do they not have any idea how to behave properly?”

Amid the backlash, Sussex supporters came out with arguments of their own, noting: “Here’s three royal couples holding hands at Westminster Hall. Guess which couple were criticized for ‘breaking protocol’?”

Another Meghan admirer added: “Now the press is obsessed with Harry and Meghan holding hands and calling it “inappropriate” because they are the only ones doing it. Zara Tindall (daughter of Princess Anne) and her husband are also displaying affection. Keep calling the double standard out.”
