<p>According to Fox News, due to a video doing rounds on the internet, netizens criticised the Prince of Wales, for his apparent lack of chivalry with wife Kate Middleton, whilst praising the Duke of Sussex for his treatment of wife Meghan Markle.</p>

<p>In it, Prince Harry was seen ushering his wife to their shared car, attentively opening and closing the door for her, while the Prince and Princess of Wales separately entered the car.

<p>The members of the New York Yankees also observed silence in honour of Queen Elizabeth II ahead of their clash versus the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium&nbsp;in the Bronx borough of New York City. Moreover, Arsenal's UEFA Europa League (UEL) encounter versus FC Zurich had kicked off when the news of The Queen's demise spread like wildfire and, hence, a minute's silence was observed at half-time. Similarly, a minute's silence was observed at Old Trafford in the UEL face-off between Manchester United and Rad Sociedad, with players also wearing black armbands.</p>

<p>The Queen's health had deteriorated in the recent past and, hence, she had cut down on public appearances to a great extent. As a result, she had to also withdraw from a planned meeting with her senior political advisers on September 7 (Wednesday) before breathing her last on Thursday evening. Charles, erstwhile Prince of Wales, the eldest of her four children, became&nbsp;king immediately post her passing away.</p>
