Meghan Markle Gets Reassurance from Prince Harry During Balcony Debut

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, made her first appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the Trooping the Colour Fly past.

The 36-year-old was seen curtsying to Queen Elizabeth II, a sign of respect as per the royal protocol.

However, in a close-up footage of the event, Meghan appears to discreetly ask Prince Harry, her husband, whether it's time to court his grandmother.

In the video, Meghan appears to mouth the words “do it” in direction of her husband, who seems to reply with a “yes” before promptly bowing his head.

Fans of the Duchess swooned after a clip of the moment was posted on Instagram, deeming the interaction unbelievably cute.

Some Instagram users commented to say they love Harry and Meghan together, while several defended Meghan against those who claimed the Duchess shouldn't have needed to check if her timing was right before curtsying.

The Duchess was seen looking to her husband for reassurance at other times during Saturday's parade, according to Mirror Online.

A lit reading expert has claimed that Harry asked his wife if she was OK during a private exchange between the newlyweds, to which she anxiously responded, “‘Yeah.'

A short while later, Meghan appeared to admit she was feeling nervous as she made her balcony debut in front of huge crowds who had gathered on the mall to catch a glimpse of the royals.

Meghan's reliance on her husband comes as no surprise as she is still settling into her new life as a royal.

Observing strict royal protocol can be a daunting task, but Meghan can rely on her husband in moments of doubt.

In fact, the couple seemed to be exchanging private messages throughout the event, with Harry appearing to say, “‘Er, when you get into it I'll tell you more later,' although it is not clear what he is alluding to.”

The Duchess was standing right behind Kate Middleton and next to Harry, who was also seen bowing his head when the national anthem was played.

Protocol dictates that royals must curtsy in front of the Queen when they see her for the first time of the day.

Meghan's curtsy was a sign of respect for the 92-year-old monarch.

Despite some negative comments from critics, many people defended Meghan, saying that she is still new to her role and should be given time to adjust.

“‘Makes me so mad when I see people saying she doesn't look like a royal or she's making mistakes.

I want to yell at them that she's only been in her role for a few months jeez.

Give her time, this is like the sweetest thing ever, a husband and wife moment, we can probably expect this a lot because it's all new to the Duchess,' another person wrote.

Meghan's debut on the Buckingham Palace balcony marks another milestone in her journey as a member of the royal family.
