Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are officially a married couple [1]! In case you haven't heard, the happy duo tied the knot at St. George's Chapel [2] in England on Saturday, May 19, and we're still swooning over the stunning photos [3]. What the newlyweds did after the wedding, though, had some viewers questioning if Meghan forgot to curtsy to Queen Elizabeth [4] as she made her way up the aisle with her Prince.
To be fair, Harry did admit nerves were running high [5] during the ceremony. So, was royal protocol — which says Meghan has to curtsy to the Queen [6] — really broken? Not so fast. As another eagle-eyed viewer watching at home pointed out, the effects of TV editing are to blame for the confusion. "Here is the bow/curtsy, which you can barely see because some genius decided on a wide shot," the user tweeted along with a video to prove it.
