Social media users are voicing their sympathy and concern for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after their awkward moment on the Buckingham Palace balcony was unearthed in a video.
TikTok users have been quick to spot how Meghan appeared to look a little downcast when her husband seemingly instructed her to "turn around" during the 2019 Trooping the Colour ceremony as the British Royal Family all stood on the balcony for a flypast.
In the clip, the former Suits star can be seen standing in front of her husband. Turning around to speak to him, Harry then appears to say "turn" in a stern way.

Sharing the video clip on TikTok, the user who posted the video wrote a caption which read: "Never forget! She couldn’t turn her head on the royal balcony."
Many social media users have been quick to comment on the video clip, with the majority quick to say how they are "glad" the couple "got out" of the Royal Family following them stepping back as senior Royals in 2020.
One person penned: "Soooo glad they got out. She rescued him," while another said: "Now I feel kind of sorry for her."
However, a third added: "It’s like she’s not even willing to learn Royal protocol and gets mad if forced to." And a fourth said: "She was breaking royal protocol, the national anthem was about to be played and you need to be facing forward."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex famously stepped back from Royal life in 2020, with them then deciding to uproot their lives in Windsor and move to America that same year. The couple now reside in Montecito, California with their two children, Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2.
The sympathy expressed online for Meghan at the 2019 event comes after the former Suits star opened up about her mental health in the 2021 televised interview with Oprah Winfrey. Speaking about feeling suicidal before her wedding, Meghan admitted: "I just didn’t see a solution."
