Now that Meghan Markle is a royal, she will not be allowed to… and then there is a lengthy news article with details as specific as the color of her nails.
While there are many rules she is obligated to follow as part of the protocol, trust Meghan to break the unsaid ones, with small gestures and actions.
Recently, on a tour of Australia with husband Prince Harry, Meghan held the umbrella for him as he finished his speech under heavy downpour.

She stood there, protecting him from the rain, while looking at him endearingly.
This might seem like a small gesture, but they are royals and you’d best believe that there must have been a group of people who could have held the umbrella for the prince.
But Meghan took it upon herself to protect her husband from getting drenched, because, well, she can.
The picture has created a stir on social media, and people are appreciating Meghan for proving that a woman can take care of her man, and there are no gender roles when it comes to manners.

Ok. I’m not going to lie. No Australian has had a choice but to watch the royal visit. But can I just say how amazing #PrinceHarry and #MeghanMarkle are as human beings to be out in the rain with the people. And Meghan holding the umbrella for her husband. ❤️
