The Royal experts have noted that the protocols by Buckingham Palace often dictate behavior at state events. The ovation was likely unscripted, so Palace insiders told Newsweek that the visit was a genuine warmth between the royals and the American guests, despite controversy.
Currently, social media users are divided; some interpreted the moment as a subtle snub, while others believe they were following the procedure. As the tension increases, Buckingham Palace might release a short statement to clear the air. Stay tuned for further news on the Royals.
