In her much-discussed Netflix documentary, Duchess Meghan showed how she curtsied to the Queen for the first time. She didn’t know how to bow, she claimed. But that can’t be true.
It was one of the most exciting scenes in the Netflix documentary “Harry & Meghan” and a moment that Meghan haters and Meghan fans discussed wildly: Harry and Meghan sit together on a sofa as the Duchess giggles and mimics an exaggerated bow and then says, “It was a pleasure meeting you, Your Majesty. Like, was that okay? It was so intense. I didn’t know what I was doing!”
Duchess Meghan: “Suits” scene shows how she curtsies
At the center of the debate was the question: Did Meghan make fun of the late Queen? One of the things that surprised Meghan was that even the closest family members had to bow or curtsy in front of Queen Elizabeth II. And so the first encounter with the late monarch was a challenge for the American.
She may have made fun of herself by mimicking the move, but to some viewers it seemed like the American was kidding the Queen, of all people. The fact that Prince Harry did not join in his wife’s laugh was seen by some as a clear indication of his disapproval. Whether Meghan took the Queen in his arms or not will remain in the eye of the beholder.
In fact, the Duchess cannot credibly claim that she didn’t know how to curtsy properly. A clip showing the opposite is currently going viral on social media. It shows a scene from the legal series “Suits”, in which the 41-year-old played a leading role for years. It shows how Duchess Meghan, in her role as Rachel, curtsies to a colleague in the office. No exaggerated bow, no bowed head, but a curtsey, as is known from female royals. For Meghan critics, the clip is evidence of their supposedly disrespectful behavior.
But the truth is, most Meghan haters don’t need proof of their disapproval. For them, the American is responsible for the royal drama anyway.
