Emboldened by King Charles' snub, Harry and Meghan mock royal tradition

In what could be dubbed an act of defiance to the royal decorum, Meghan Markle on Wednesday shared an old video from the maternity ward where she and her husband Prince Harry are seen performing bold dance moves.

The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to share the video on the fourth birthday of their daughter Lilibet.

The couple is expected to face backlash from their detractors online and provide endless stream of content for tabloids. 

Keeping in view their current status of relations with King Charles, Prince William and other members of the royal family, their bold dance move  could be seen as a dig at the royal family's strict protocols.

The video comes days after Prince Harry expressed his desire for reconciliation with the royal family and if the British tabloid media reports are anything to go by his olive branch has been ignored by King Charles. 

Royal observes might think that the lack of response from the monarch and his heir  might have emboldened the couple to assert their independence further.

Whatever the consequences, the US based couple have sent a strong message to the royals who have refused to mend ties with them.
