The royal family of the United Kingdom strictly adheres to the Victorian stoicism that follows in their veins swiftly as ever. Be it behind the Place walls or outside, the House of Windsor has never lifted up the lid on matters they regard tabooed or controversial. And more than anyone from the family, the Palace deprived Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of it the most. Adding up to their claims of not having the Palace’s support in numerous instances, here is another instance where the members of the family once again stood to their least expectations. 

From their subjects thrashing them to the UK media disgracing the couple, or be it a legit film star taking a dig at them, the palace stayed true to its traditional virtues, although widely frowned upon. As reported by Newsweek, back in the year 2020, at the BAFTA Awards, a crude remark about the Duke of Sussex had left the Prince and Princess of Wales in an awkward position. 

Current sensation Margot Robbie launched a blatant attack on the estranged Prince. The media was quick to pan the cameras on their direct relatives (or rivalries, to be precise). As was the custom, the elder brother Prince William and Kate Middleton shared a similar gesture as everyone else’s to blend in with the crowd. The Princess laughed it off with a seemingly forced smile, turning towards her husband. BAFTA President Prince William just smiled, giving a round of applause. 

But what was the joke all about?

As a matter of fact, the star was not supposed to take to the stage. Nonetheless, she did as, starring in the same movie, she had to accept an award for the Academy Winner Brad Pitt for his supporting role in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Thus, while accepting the award, Margot Robbie reiterated an awkward joke to the audience that she claimed was originally from Pitt himself. 

“He says that he’s going to name this Harry,” said Robbie, who recently gained acclaim in the hit movie, Barbie. While holding up the gold statue, she further added, “Because he’s really excited about bringing it back to the States with him. His words, not mine!”.
