00:00Meeting Queen Elizabeth is a great honor for anyone, but certain requirements must be followed.
00:07There's a lot to remember and everyone has made mistakes, from athletes to superstars
00:12to heads of state.
00:14In fact, as pop artist Rihanna learned when she overreacted on social media, you don't
00:19even need to see Her Majesty in person to insult her.
00:22So, put on your best fascinator and fancy gloves as we investigate the shocking instances
00:28of Queen Elizabeth being insulted in public.
00:33The Encounter Between Trump And The Queen
00:37The fact that President Donald Trump appeared to have forgotten the entire royal protocol
00:41when he met Queen Elizabeth shouldn't come as a surprise because Trump isn't exactly
00:46known for his commitment to, well, any form of politeness.
00:50The Commander-in-Chief allegedly made many mistakes during his meeting with Her Majesty
00:54in July 2018, when he kept her waiting for more than 10 minutes, which may not have been
01:00his fault, shook her hand instead of bowing, turned his back on her for a few seconds,
01:05and he left his jacket open and flapping in his too-long tight trailing.
01:10Many people have also pointed to television footage of Trump and the 92-year-old Queen
01:15getting ready to inspect the scarlet-clad soldiers gathered in the Windsor Castle Quadrangle
01:19where they met.
01:21The tiny monarch wanders from one side to the other behind him as he turns his back
01:25on her, goes forward and turns his head away.
01:29Additionally, his jacket hangs loosely and untidily.
01:34Trump has already received criticism for his improper presidential-style choices, such
01:38as at his inauguration when his red tie hung below the belt and he forgot to fasten his
01:43coat.
01:44Anna Wintour's Future With The Queen Isn't Looking So Bright
01:50The distinctive large Chanel sunglasses that Anna Wintour, a style icon and long-standing
01:55editor-in-chief of Vogue, is known for wearing are well-known to everyone who has heard of
02:00her.
02:01Meeting Queen Elizabeth during London Fashion Week in 2018 was reportedly no exception,
02:07and it would be an understatement to say that it ruffled the fans of royal protocol.
02:11Speaking with Independent, etiquette expert Grant Harold called the alleged slight unacceptable
02:16and the height of bad manners as well as a serious breach of the protocol.
02:21She should have removed them before being in the presence of the Queen, let alone in
02:25the discussion.
02:26Ms. Wintour should know that to wear sunglasses when talking to another person with no medical
02:31reason is unacceptable, he told the Press Association.
02:36Fans were also quick to share their opinions on Twitter with one writing,
02:40Dame Anna Wintour, being a fashion editor surely you should know wearing sunglasses
02:45indoors is so naff, especially being seated next to the Queen.
02:50Another asked, why does Anna Wintour feel she has to wear her shades in the front row
02:55of a fashion show and sat next to the Queen?
02:58Several noted, even the Queen can't make Anna Wintour part with her sunglasses.
03:05Meghan Markle's Got Legs And She Doesn't Know How To Use Them
03:11Markle was criticized for defying royal conventions in the years leading up to her wedding, from
03:16her divorce to her and Harry's casual public displays of affection.
03:20But during the Queen's Young Leaders Awards in July 2018, it was Her Majesty who was the
03:25target of Markle's alleged lack of manners.
03:29The Anti-Harold Report said Markle's wrongdoing was promptly brought up on social media by
03:34her critics.
03:35She has her legs crossed wrong, what a disrespect to the Queen.
03:40All royal ladies cross at the ankles or put both legs off to the side, one Facebook user
03:45wrote.
03:46Let's hug it out, Liz!
03:51We've already established that it's politely customary to refrain from touching Queen Elizabeth,
03:56which makes sense given the potential security risks.
03:59However, it's acceptable when Michelle Obama, the First Lady of the United States, is the
04:04one making the indecent touching.
04:08The Guardian reported that Obama gave the Queen a hug at a reception at Buckingham Palace
04:12in April 2009, which appeared to make her awkward at first until she reciprocated by
04:18putting her arm around Obama's waist.
04:21Ultimately, the British news outlet pointed out several other past touching incidents
04:25with other world leaders and decided this was not quite a major diplomatic incident.
04:32Rihanna Put In Some Work Online
04:35In April 2017, music royalty Rihanna offended the Queen's admirers.
04:41She posted a series of photoshopped pictures of the monarch on her Instagram.
04:45The pictures were all of Rihanna with the Queen's face pasted on them, with phrases
04:49like Be Humble and You All Birds Are Ash and I'm Lotion.
04:54Rihanna came under fire for posting these photos.
04:57Many people believe she's disrespecting a 91-year-old.
05:01One person commented on her photo, stop disrespecting the Queen.
05:06If you dislike this comment or even block me from saying this, but how could you?
05:10The Queen is a very, very, very, very important person in our lives and it's very disrespectful
05:16to just do this.
05:18It's all over the news and I think you're just doing this for attention and to be on
05:22the news.
05:23Stop Rihanna.
05:25Another simply said, this is so disrespectful.
05:29Do not ask for respect when you don't give any.
05:34Princess Diana Practically Invented Disrespecting The Queen
05:38The Queen is said to have been upset by Diana's interactions with the media, particularly
05:42her explosive 1995 interview with BBC journalist Martin Bashir.
05:48Diana was open and honest about her troubled marriage to Charles during the infamous sit-down,
05:53and she also acknowledged that they both had extramarital affairs.
05:57How angry did this make the monarchy?
06:00Also to be noted is yet another occasion out of the many.
06:04When Diana and her husband Prince Charles attended a gala dinner dance at the Southern
06:08Cross Hotel in Melbourne, Australia in 1984, they made a fashion faux pas.
06:14The heirloom in question was an emerald and art deco choker that the Queen Mother had
06:18given to Queen Elizabeth.
06:20After Elizabeth became the Princess of Wales, she passed it on to Diana.
06:25The Queen was less than pleased with Diana's decision to wear it as a headdress rather
06:30than a choker when attending a public event.
06:33What Diana was wearing while dancing around in her husband's arms was a necklace that
06:37was part of the crown jewels that she had been given by Queen Elizabeth herself.
06:42Royal commentator Deborah Adonacio told Marie Claire Italia,
06:46It was a piece that the Queen was very fond of, but which she, in turn, decided to pass
06:51on to Diana as a wedding gift.
06:54According to sources close to the Queen, having seen what Diana had done with it, Her
06:58Majesty became very irritated.
07:02Unfortunately for President Obama, the band played on.
07:08The President put down his note cards and took up his glass as he was wrapping up his
07:12speech at a dinner at Buckingham Palace.
07:14Ladies and gentlemen, please stand with me and raise your glasses as I propose a toast
07:20to Her Majesty the Queen.
07:22The Gaffe, the band started playing God Save the Queen at this point, but Obama kept talking
07:28over it.
07:30For the vibrancy of her people's unique bond, and in the words of Shakespeare, to
07:34this glorious plot, this earth, this dominion, this England, to the Queen.
07:41He laid his glass down when she glanced at him and remained still until the music ended.
07:46Everyone then took up their glasses.
07:49Oops.
07:50Contributing to this was the toast's awkward language and Obama's choice to continue despite
07:55obstacles, rather than understanding when to give up.
07:59The error became clear when he turned to face his toast recipient.
08:03The Queen cast a quick peek at his extended glass before turning to face the remaining
08:07verses of the song.
08:11Stupid is as George Bush does.
08:14According to the BBC, Her Majesty and George first met at the White House in 1991, when
08:20his father was president.
08:22He allegedly introduced himself as the black sheep of the family and inquired about the
08:26existence of such a person within the royal family.
08:31George.
08:32Ah.
08:33Years later, King Elizabeth was welcomed to the White House in a speech by then-President
08:38George W. Bush.
08:39He stated throughout his speech that she'd been on the throne since the 18th century.
08:45When he realized his mistake, he spun around and gave her the most George W. Bush move
08:49he could muster at that precise moment.
08:52A wink.
08:54You heard that correctly.
08:55He miscalculated Her Royal Highness' age by more than 100 years and fired her a wink,
09:01which he later claimed was received with a look that only a mother could give a child.
09:07The seating chart is more important than you think.
09:12Let's talk about Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton, who we believe committed the most
09:16perplexing infraction against the Queen.
09:19What did he do exactly?
09:21Hell man.
09:22Bloody hell.
09:23He sat on her left.
09:25The racer then allegedly dared to speak with Her Majesty as reported by the BBC.
09:30No.
09:31You speak that way first and I'll speak this way and then I'll come back to you.
09:35You see, it's customary for the guest of honor to sit to the right of the Queen and the convention
09:40is that she speaks to this person during the first course of the dinner, then switches
09:44attention to the person on her left for the following course.
09:48An etiquette expert told the BBC.
09:52It truly has become a royal pain to smoke in public.
09:57The upscale London restaurant hack-a-sand cigarette-loving customers were getting their
10:01fix right below a commemorative plaque designating Queen Elizabeth's birthplace, the Mirror reported
10:07in September 2015.
10:09When a Scottish councilman saw that the former residence of the Queen had been transformed
10:13into a smoking den, he complained to the media and made it his goal to track down
10:17who is responsible for it and get it removed.
10:21A spokesperson for hack-a-sand confirmed that the smoking area was moved away from the plaque
10:25to the other side of the front entrance.
10:28JFK and Jackie insulted Queen Elizabeth at royal dinner.
10:35President John F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie paid a visit to Buckingham Palace in June
10:391961.
10:41The visit, which took place only a few months after Kennedy assumed office, is highlighted
10:46in an episode of The Crown's second season on Netflix.
10:50The Telegraph reported Cecil Beaton's assertion that Kennedy was unimpressed by the palace
10:54furnishings and by the Queen's dress and hairstyle.
10:58Gore Vidal claimed that Jackie described the Queen as pretty heavy-going.
11:04And well, so did Harry and Meghan Markle.
11:07Approximately 89% of respondents to an express poll asked whether Meghan and Harry's decision
11:13to step down as senior royals showed disrespect for the Queen answered in the affirmative.
11:18In response to the survey, a user said, of course, they disrespected the Queen, but in
11:23doing so, they disrespected the whole nation.
11:27Also recently, Prince Harry said in an interview regarding the Queen, being with her, it was
11:32great.
11:33It was just so nice to see her.
11:35She's in great form.
11:37She's always got a great sense of humor with me and I'm just making sure she's protected
11:41and got the right people around her.
11:44But Mirror's royal editor Russell Myers believes there's something sinister in this statement
11:49and that the senior royals and palace staff would have had their heads in their hands
11:53after finding out that Harry has once more had a media interview in the U.S. to discuss
11:58specifics of personal royal affairs.
12:01He said, Prince Harry's comments about ensuring the Queen is protected are deeply damaging
12:06and insulting to his grandmother and senior royals around her.
12:12Marilyn Monroe's Trademark Dress
12:16More than others, some visitors test the limits.
12:20For instance, the slender beauty turned more heads than her fair share of heads in 1956.
12:26Marilyn made an extremely provocative choice by dressing in a low-cut ball gown to meet
12:31the Queen.
12:32That didn't go too badly, though.
12:34As Monroe reportedly said, the Queen is very warm-hearted.
12:38She radiates sweetness.
12:42Lewis Hamilton to Counts in this List
12:46Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton attempted to talk to Queen Elizabeth during the first
12:50course of a royal event while seated on her left side, but he was unaware of the protocol.
12:56I got invited to a lunch and sat next to the Queen.
13:00I was excited and started to talk to her, but she said, pointing to my left,
13:04No, you speak that way first and I'll speak this way, and then I'll come back to you.
13:09He told BBC's Graham Norton.
13:13Helen Mirren
13:15Even a genuine dispute may not always be accepted as a sufficient justification.
13:20Due to her filming commitments, Helen Mirren had to decline an invitation to Buckingham
13:25Palace in 2007, and the news of her denial went viral.
13:30The Guardian's headline read,
13:31Mirren too busy to meet the Queen.
13:35She violated numerous royal regulations, one of which was failing to address Prince Philip,
13:40the husband of the Queen.
13:43David Beckham sent many suspicious emails
13:47Although this well-known soccer player hasn't officially transgressed any royal customs,
13:52some have accused him of, to put it bluntly, sucking up to Queen Elizabeth.
13:57When David Beckham frequently thanked the royal family on social media, his millions
14:01of admirers in the media took notice.
14:04Some individuals thought Beckham's Instagram posts praising the Queen, in which he also
14:08talked about his participation with royal charities, were a little boastful, and accused
14:13the athlete of making an excessive effort to obtain a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth.
14:18Additionally, it didn't help that some contentious emails David wrote were leaked.
14:24These communications substantiated the knighthood rumors.
14:29Angelina Jolie
14:32When Angelina Jolie saw Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, it appears that she
14:37may have broken a few minor fashion laws, but we doubt the monarch would have cared.
14:43According to Racked, Jolie accepted an honorary Dame Grand Cross honor at the palace's 1844
14:49parlor while wearing a lilac jacket and skirt.
14:52She did, however, wear peep-toe shoes, which made it highly unlikely that she was donning
14:57pantyhose, which were required of both her visitors and the Queen's family.
15:02In case you didn't know, wearing nude pantyhose is against the Queen's rigorous dress code
15:07for women.
15:09Even open-toe shoes are prohibited at the palace's ceremonial occasions, however, defied
15:14all these guidelines when she went to Buckingham Palace in 2014.
15:20Mickey Rooney Couldn't Help His Emotional Instincts
15:24Mickey Rooney has spent his entire life fantasizing about meeting the Queen.
15:28In a long life filled with both comedy and drama, the renowned Hollywood actor experienced
15:33one amazing royal moment.
15:36During her tour of America in 2007, he had a garden party encounter with the Queen.
15:41He also couldn't help but kiss her hand.
15:44He shouldn't have met Elizabeth II that way.
15:47The custom calls for a light handshake.
15:50However, the Queen didn't appear to mind the grand gesture made by a guy whose real
15:54life was just as colorful as his acting career.
15:58The image of him with the Queen still captures the charisma of a man whose characters made
16:02him a much-loved presence during 10 decades on the screen.
16:07Vladimir Putin Made A Joke Of Himself
16:11This one is simply too amusing, I guess.
16:14Vladimir Putin is infamous for showing up to events sloppily late.
16:18He held the Queen up in 2003 for 14 minutes.
16:22In return, Her Majesty arrived 14 minutes late for her subsequent meeting with Putin.
16:27LOL.
16:30Lady Gaga Lady Gaga isn't one to hold herself to
16:34high standards and won't ever compromise on who she is.
16:39While meeting the Queen, the Grammy-winning artist violated royal convention by donning
16:43a striking dress and cosmetics.
16:45Putin dictates that one should wear business attire in muted colors.
16:49I wanted to dress like a queen in British fashion.
16:53And I also wanted to do it in my way, Gaga shared.
16:58Meghan Was Married Before Meghan was previously married to Trevor Engelson
17:03before she met Harry, but they divorced in 2013.
17:08If you watch The Crown, you'll recall that it used to be against the rules for royals
17:12to wed divorcees, which is one of the reasons everyone was furious when Edward VIII sought
17:17to wed Wallis Simpson.
17:19Since then, the family's perspective has evolved.
17:23One may as well consider the 2005 wedding of Prince Charles to Camilla Parker Bowles,
17:28a divorcee.
17:31What are your views on the video?
17:33Do you believe whoever the Queen would have minded being disrespected in the ways mentioned
17:37in the video?
17:38Do you believe the people involved should have cared about being more subtle and respectful
17:42towards the 96-year-old Queen?
