Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have sparked public debate since stepping away from royal duties in 2020. However, one of their most contentious moments arose after the release of their Netflix documentary series in 2022.
In a specific episode of their show named Harry & Meghan, the duchess recounted her initial encounter with the late Queen shortly after commencing a relationship with the prince in 2016.
Meghan expressed her surprise at meeting the British monarch, revealing that she had only learned about the meeting moments before it happened. Prince Harry mentioned that Meghan’s first interaction with the royal family was with his grandmother, and she was taken aback by the experience.
During their journey to meet the Queen, Prince Harry asked Meghan if she knew how to curtsy, to which she initially thought he was joking. Meghan later realized the significance of curtsying to the Queen, likening the protocol to an American dinner theater resembling Medieval Times.
Amidst the encounter, Meghan performed a dramatic curtsy to the Queen, drawing mixed reactions from viewers. A body language expert noted Prince Harry’s apparent discomfort and hinted at signs of contempt during the exchange.
