Transcript

00:00The honor of meeting Queen Elizabeth comes with a strict set of guidelines that everyone

00:05from athletes to celebs to heads of state have screwed up.

00:09And you don't even have to meet the queen in person to offend her.

00:12Check out these scandalous moments when Her Majesty was disrespected in public.

00:16"...And is there any situation where you do more than a curtsy?"

00:18"...Like what?"

00:19"...Like a kiss."

00:20"...Oh, good lord, no."

00:23President Donald Trump isn't exactly known for his adherence to any sort of etiquette,

00:27so it's no surprise that he seemingly forgot royal protocol when he met Queen Elizabeth

00:31in July 2018.

00:33According to USA Today, the commander-in-chief committed several flubs when he allegedly

00:38"...kept her waiting for more than 10 minutes, which may not have been his fault, shook her

00:41hand instead of bowing, turned his back on her for a few seconds, and he left his jacket

00:46open and flapping and his too-long tie trailing."

00:49"...No doubt you want a moment like that to go smoothly.

00:53You don't want it all over Twitter."

00:56Trump issued no apology, and according to Politico, he later claimed that he was the one waiting

01:00on the queen, despite footage proving otherwise, according to The Telegraph, which are both

01:05words he also used to describe the game of golf for Fortune magazine.

01:09Anyone who's heard of Anna Wintour, longtime editor-in-chief of Vogue, is also familiar with

01:14her iconic sunglasses.

01:16And when she left them on while meeting Queen Elizabeth during London Fashion Week in 2018,

01:20she apparently ruffled some feathers.

01:23According to The Independent, etiquette expert Grant Harreld called the slight, quote, the

01:26height of bad manners as well as a serious breach of protocol.

01:30Perhaps Wintour, a British native who received the honor of Dame Commander less than a year

01:34earlier, felt she could bend the rules a bit.

01:36Or maybe after seemingly wearing shades 24-7 for decades, she forgot they were on her face.

01:42Anna, there's no windows in here, why are you putting those on?

01:44Hiding from you.

01:46What is the national animal of England?

01:51Am I supposed to know that?

01:52In the run-up to her nuptials, Meghan Markle was accused of bucking royal trends in every

01:57way, from her divorcee status to her and Prince Harry's PDA.

02:00But it was Her Majesty who became the victim of Markle's alleged etiquette fail during the

02:04Queen's Young Leaders Awards in July 2018.

02:07According to the New Zealand Herald, one Facebook user pointed out,

02:10"...she has her legs crossed wrong.

02:12What a disrespect to the Queen.

02:14All royal ladies cross at the ankles or put both legs off to the side."

02:18Prior to this infraction, Insider reported that Markle slighted her future grandmother-in-law

02:22when she skipped the stockings for her engagement photos.

02:25One of the obvious rules of etiquette regarding Queen Elizabeth is to not touch her.

02:30But what happens when the offending party is then-First Lady Michelle Obama?

02:33The Guardian reported that Obama gave the Queen a hug at a reception at Buckingham Palace

02:38in 2009, which the Queen then reciprocated by, quote, putting her arm around Obama's waist.

02:43Ultimately, the British news outlet pointed out several other past-touching incidents with

02:47other world leaders and decided this wasn't a major diplomatic incident.

02:51"...Hey, Prince Harry, remember when you told us to bring it at the Invictus Games?"

02:55"...Careful what you wish for."

02:56She may be music royalty, but Rihanna drew the ire of Her Majesty's supporters in 2017

03:03when she posted a string of hilariously altered images of the Queen's head on RiRi's body.

03:08Predictably, she took some heat with one user posting,

03:11Rihanna doesn't even know what respect means she's trashy always will be.

03:15But that didn't faze RiRi.

03:17According to The Wrap, she then posted another doctored pic with the caption,

03:21haters will say it's photoshopped.

03:22God save the queen, and the queen of social media.

03:25Rihanna, she owns, she owns the Met darling.

03:31Preceding Meghan Markle under the impossible scrutiny of royal family fans was, of course,

03:35the late Princess Diana, who endured an absolute media fixation on the ways in which she supposedly

03:40embarrassed her queen mother-in-law.

03:42According to Good Housekeeping, this included everything from her wedding to Prince Charles,

03:46and how they raised their children, to baring her knees in public.

03:49But it was Diana's explosive 1995 interview with the BBC that got the queen's knickers in a bunch.

03:55During the scandalous sit-down, the then-separated Diana confirmed that both

03:59she and Prince Charles engaged in extramarital affairs.

04:02One month after the interview, according to The New York Times,

04:05Queen Elizabeth wrote to both Charles and Diana,

04:07strongly encouraging them to quickly divorce.

04:10By 1996, Her Majesty got her wish, according to History.com.

04:14Although Diana reportedly walked away from the marriage with,

04:17a generous settlement and the right to retain her apartments at Kensington Palace and her

04:21title of Princess of Wales.

04:22Any guess on how the queen felt about that one?

04:25So there are some disadvantages to crowns, but otherwise, they're quite important things.
