I guess we’re still talking about the positioning at Trooping the Colour. I personally think the way the royal family positioned themselves on the balcony worked out for the best. Everyone said that the Duchess of Sussex was quite nervous because it was her first big balcony moment with the entire family, and Meghan was being coached through it by Harry, who even told her when to courtsy to the Queen. It just seemed to me like Meghan was quite happy to not be front and center and on display that way for her first trip to the balcony, and that’s why she seemed fine with sort of fading back behind the Queen, Prince Charles, Camilla and the Duchess of Cambridge, of course. It also worked out because Kate was in full Alpha Dog mode, staking her claim front and center and basically ensuring that Meghan would have to fade back. As I said, people are still talking about the body language and the positioning. Here’s what People Mag had to say about it:

When Meghan Markle made her official Trooping the Colour debut last Saturday, she wasn’t front and center on the palace balcony. The new Duchess of Sussex notably stood behind her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, and brother-in-law, Prince William — and it all came down to a royal “pecking order.”

“She was not as prominent perhaps as some people might have expected, but there’s a pecking order,” Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine, tells PEOPLE. “There was no slight intended, but William being the older, more senior brother would go out [first] with his wife.”

During Kate’s Trooping the Color debut in 2011, she stood in the front, but to the far left of the balcony.

“[Meghan] was still in a good position,” adds Little. “She was central rather than the alternative of being in the front row and along the balcony to the left or right.”

A palace source says Meghan’s balcony position “would have come from her. There’s no one laying this out, telling her where to stand. And there were a lot of kids who everyone would want at the front.”

I seriously don’t understand the “royal pecking order” defense for how people were positioned, especially because there were people – some of them children – who got to stand in front, who are way down the “pecking order,” like Peter Phillips’ children. But whatever – as I said, it all worked out. Meghan was happy to not be on center stage and all eyes were on Kate’s puffy-sleeved fuggery.

Speaking of Meghan and Kate and what will be years of passive-aggressive sh-t, Meghan has formally joined the Royal Foundation, which is William, Kate and Harry’s charity. The Royal Foundation funds some conservation work and has some kind of vague connection to Heads Together, but mostly it just seems like the Royal Foundation throws parties for itself and sponsors premieres. The name of the foundation has been changed too: it’s now The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. That’s a mouthful and a half. Maybe they’ll just call it TRFDDCDDS. Jesus Christ!! Branding, people. Remember how to brand your sh-t. Your foundation should have a snappy, easy-to-remember name.
