Though the British royal family members are staples on the London scene, they are also international figures.

These appearances not only re-establish the importance of the crown, but also allow for further diplomatic conversations.

While the royals aren’t a political body, their international trips certainly push conversations forward.

To say that there have been some royal superstars is an understatement.

Meghan Markle has similar star power, even as she and Prince Harry navigate their post-royal lives in California.

William and Catherine in Jamaica

Princess Catherine, of course, has the majority of the British public on her side.

Sounds harmless, right?

Imagine, 60 years later and it’s still an extension of the British empire.

Diana at the Taj Mahal

It’s an infant colony, not standing alone."

Perhaps the most telling and awkward moment came during their royal tour to India in 1992.

And it made Charles absolutely crazy."

Meghan laughing

In a perfectly awkward and yet hilarious moment, Meghan started laughing.

Meanwhile, Harry giggled alongside his wife, but kept his composure intact.

The duchess simply couldn’t keep it together, giving royal fans a perfectly relatable moment.

After all, who wouldn’t laugh about a song completely dedicated to mosquitoes?

But even they can experience a fumble.

Seems simple, right?

Queen behind the podium

Pulling on one side, William first looked confused as to why the curtain was not cooperating.

Talk about a moment these two absolutely can’t live down.

People couldn’t get enough of her, but this in turn made things awkward between the spouses.

Diana and Charles Australia 1983

According to his estimations, it was one of the saddest and most awkward states to capture on-camera.

“Charles I don’t think has noticed [her crying] at that stage.

If he has, typical of Prince Charles to look the other way.”

“He’s really cool.

He’s a really nice guy,” Bolt toldHello!

“I really enjoy hanging out with him.

Every now and then we see each other because we travel around so I see him sometimes.”

Clearly, they made a good impression as a couple, because Bolt was instantly taken by the actress.

I’m sorry I didn’t get to party with him before.

William and Catherine in Jamaica

She’s definitely a nice girl," Bolt said of Meghan.

“Niyazov asked the Prince which horse he most admired.

Frequently rubbing his back, the Prince lamented that a bad back made riding very painful these days.

Camilla holding a knife to Charles

Charles' awkward and exhaustive efforts were successful, however, and he left the palace steed-free.

Incompetent, uneducated and lazy, they totally failed to anticipate the problems which William and Kate would encounter.

The officials' ignorance exposed the couple to unnecessary embarrassment.”

The carters with the queen

She’s very approachable, very easy to talk to, warm, friendly, funny.

That was certainly on display during Camilla and Charles' royal tour to New Zealand and Australia in 2015.

“Nobody has done that since my husband died,” she said of the moment after the fact.

George with his parents at zoo

“I took a sharp step backwards not quite far enough.”

Don’t think that it was all fun and no work, though.

George was clearly at his limit, so mom and dad toured the zoo without him.

Still, his hilarious and slightly awkward moment gave lots of royal watchers something to talk about.
