Meghan Markle almost tripped while attending her first wedding as a royal — but she handled it like a pro

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex

  • Meghan Markle almost took a tumble while attending the wedding of Celia McCorquodale and George Woodhouse on Sunday. 
  • Her heel appeared to get caught in the grass while making her way down a hill.
  • She thankfully managed to catch herself just in time.


Meghan Markle has had a slew of firsts in the short time since she's become a royal. From her first official engagement to her first overnight trip with the queen, she's handled it all like a pro. It was only a matter of time before she encountered her first literal misstep, but she remained as graceful as ever.

Markle and Prince Harry attended the wedding of Princess Diana's niece Celia McCorquodale on Sunday, which marked the first wedding Markle has attended as a member of the royal family. The Daily Mail shared a video of the couple arriving at St Andrew and St Mary's Church in Lincolnshire, UK, and it looks like Markle's heel momentarily got stuck in the grass.

Harry swiftly glanced over and looked ready to spring into action, but thankfully the Duchess of Sussex managed to catch herself as she made her way down the hill in a flowing Oscar de la Renta floral wrap dress.

It's not the first time Markle has narrowly avoided a royal mishap. She appeared to discreetly ask Harry about the proper time to curtsy during Trooping the Colour earlier this month, and seemed to take it upon herself to ask the queen about proper car etiquette on their first official outing together.

It's no surprise that the duchess has managed to yet again side-step a potentially embarrassing moment. Although the only embarrassment would surely have been on behalf of the grass for failing to support Markle's royal footsteps.
