Meghan Markle’s Snub of Kate Middleton at Platinum Jubilee Service
Keen viewers of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations have noticed Meghan Markle's reaction to Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, as they attended a service to honour Her Majesty's 70 years of service.
Although the Duchesses never came face to face at Friday's service of Thanksgiving, royal fans couldn't help but notice Meghan's obvious snub of Kate as she arrived at the Cathedral.
The eagle-eyed fans pointed out that Meghan can be seen turning her head away from the Duchess of Cambridge in an apparent refusal to look at her sister-in-law.
Taking to Twitter, royal fan Kitty shared the BBC's footage of the moment that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge entered the Cathedral.
Captioning the clip, Kitty wrote, “Did everyone notice the woman in white hat, Meghan, turned her head to the left when the Duchess of Cambridge was walking past?”
Fellow royal watchers were quick to agree, with many saying they had also noticed the reaction.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were demoted to the second row at St Paul's Cathedral during the service of Thanksgiving for the Platinum Jubilee.
The relegated position was a visual snub from the royal family, according to GB News host Alastair Stewart.
Angela Levin, the royal biographer, agreed with Mr Stewart's claims, saying the couple were absolutely furious by the arrangement.
Mr Stewart said, “They were in the second row, not behind the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge, but in the second row even behind people like the Wessexes.
He wouldn't be there if the Queen didn't want him to be there, but to me, it was a visual snub.
It was not a total snub.
They got the proper royal car and they were escorted down the aisle.”
Ms Levin said Harry and Meghan were visibly seething by the second row seats.
She said, “If you look at Harry's face, I spent a year with him when I did his biography.
He wears his expressions and feelings on his face and he was absolutely furious.”
Co-panelist Norman Baker responded, “Because they were on the second row?”
Ms Levin said, “Yes, they were furious.
He was furious he had to get people to move up.
He was very angry.”
Kinsey Schofield, founder of Tiddy for Daily and the Tiddy for Daily podcast, feels that Harry and Meghan's actions will cause their children to question why they were not involved and feel disappointed by it.
She also thinks that Archie and Lilibet may question in the future why Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were front and centre while they were hidden in the shadows.
Kinsey said, “I believe that one day Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and perhaps their children will feel like they missed out on a huge opportunity.
The children will one day have access to information about this historic event and they will see their lack of presence and might disagree with it or be disappointed by it.
Why were their cousins front and centre and they were hidden in the shadows?
They are within the line of succession.
People do love and celebrate royal babies.
They have earned their place within the mix.”
Kinsey also believes that Harry and Meghan already have regrets about some of their previous interviews but feel that the firm have not forgotten.
She added, “I believe Harry and Meghan are already having regrets about their behaviour.
The bitter couple that appeared on the Oprah interview would not have shown up for Jubilee.
But senior members of the royal family are not quick to forget.”
