Photos of members of the royal family at a service to mark the beginning of Queen Elizabeth II's lying-in-state have sparked a debate about double standards.

The royal family paid their respects to the monarch and matriarch after the procession of the Queen's coffin. After they bowed and curtsied to the Queen's coffin, they left the building.

All hell broke loose on social media when they took each other's hands.

Holding hands is notignified.

The Royal Family leave our beloved Queen in Westminster Hall with grace and dignity except for Harry and Meghan who just have to hold hands like two lovesick teenagers. They really get on my nerves.

It is awake.

It isn't nice.

The Absolute Disrespect of harry and meghan strolling hand in hand in an official state ceremony to pay hommage to the Queen when we cannot even use any of their credentials to wipe the floor is an absolute Disgrace. Life will repay them this honor this insult.🇬🇧

It's terrible.

Painful to watch the ceremony today and see the arrogance of a traitor and his wife standing in front of the woman they have BOTH tormented relentlessly for nearly 3 years...and couldn't wait till they got into the car before holding hands? The pair of them are a disgrace!

It doesn't lack decorum.

It isn't appropriate.

It isn't right.

There's only one issue, and that's the fact that other royal couples held hands. The daughter of a Princess Royal and her husband held hands as they left the building.

They held hands while paying respects to the Queen's coffin.

There was a show of affection between Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and his daughter Princess Eugenie that was caught on camera, but no one on the social networking site was upset about it.

People called out the double standard very quickly.

I don't know what it is aboutHarry andMeghan.

royal double standards?
