Meghan and Harry made their final official appearance as working Royals at the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey.
For those of you who don’t know (or don’t care, but need some info to keep reading) the British Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 54 sovereign states, many of which were once colonised by Britain.
But they don’t like to talk about that.
Moving on to the insignificant moment that has fans of the Royals in a tiff.
At least that’s what The Daily Mail says, and we all know how they like to blow things out of proportion.
First, a play-by-play.
Here they all are, arriving at the Abbey, looking regal:
You can watch the whole celebration, here:
Or skip straight to the moment that has people a little ruffled:

If you watched that interaction and have no idea what’s going on, I’ll let The Daily Mail explain:
As the couples greeted in Westminster Abbey today, many royal followers were left feeling upset and couldn’t help commenting on the ‘cold’ greeting.
One wrote: ‘That looks painful’, while another commented: ‘This really upset me. William and Kate, so rude.’
Another added: ‘Okay, even I have got to admit that looks cold. They better had a meetup before so that this was only their second greeting during the day, because that’s no way to greet a brother when you first see them.’
They’re British.
The Brits aren’t known for elaborate or enthusiastic displays of affection, so this all seems pretty standard.
Right, that’s enough now.
On with your day.
