What Eden comments about in his caption is the positions of the stars in the picture. Indeed, according to him, the fact that the couple isn’t standing up is a sign of their disrespect for the Duchess.

This is not the first time that Eden takes a picture and comments on the lack of respect of the people interacting with Royals. For instance, during President Biden’s latest visit in England, Eden believed that he was unaware of protocol since he touched King Charles III.

Richard Eden receives backlash after his comment

In his Instagram post, which he also has now posted on Twitter, the royal expert says:

This photograph makes me uneasy. While there may not have been space for Rachel Weisz to curtsy or Daniel Craig to bow, shouldn't they have at least stood up to greet the Princess of Wales? Craig could have even gone mad and removed his sunglasses 👓

While this is quite a normal comment for Eden to make, his followers didn’t seem to be willing to let this one go.

Instagram users says:

The PoW doesn’t seem bothered by it and if she isn’t then no one else should be either.

Not at all. Trying to find drama where there is none.

Another:

And one last comment:

They shook her hand, had a conversation and they were smiling. They seemed to be nice to each other and that's all that matters. There is no need for this drama.

Eden also pushed his comments and published in the Daily Mail an article titled Surely we STAND to greet our future Queen! So why did Daniel Craig stay lounging in the Royal Box with his shades on when Kate approached? It's time to learn some manners Mr Bond!
