Security was horrified!
Meghan Markle made this dangerous mistake!
When Meghan Markle closed the car door herself during her first solo appearance as Duchess of Sussex in September 2018, fans celebrated her on social media as "down-to-earth" and "approachable". But while many cheered her supposed break with royal traditions, experienced security officers flinched in horror.

Dangerous moment at the Royal Academy of Arts
The scene took place outside the Royal Academy of Arts in London: Meghan, elegant in a black Givenchy dress, got out of the car, greeted her host - and closed the door herself. But according to security experts, this was a dangerous mistake.
Security protocol: doors remain open!
As etiquette experts and former royal security officers have now revealed to the British media, it has nothing to do with airs and graces that royals do not close their car doors themselves. Rather, it's about their safety. A car with a locked door cannot be used as a shelter quickly enough in an emergency.
Why Meghan's car door gesture was risky
An insider from the palace's security team told The Sun newspaper: "Should an attack or dangerous situation occur, a royal needs to be able to get back into the vehicle immediately. A self-locked door can cost precious seconds - and could mean the difference between life and death in an emergency."
Although Meghan's case was a harmless situation, the incident shows that there are often serious safety considerations behind the seemingly banal details of royal life.
