Royal Hypocrisy Exposed: Meghan Markle's Curtsy Controversy

A video of Meghan Markle curtsying in the TV series “Suits” has gone viral, sparking a wave of criticism after the recent release of the Netflix docu-series featuring the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

In the series, Meghan jokes about having to curtsy to the late Queen Elizabeth II, but the resurfaced footage shows her doing just that.

During the second episode of the highly anticipated docu-series, Meghan reminisces about her first meeting with Prince Harry's grandmother back in 2016.

She admits that she wasn't prepared to be introduced to the British monarch and recalls a moment in the car when Prince Harry asked if she knew how to curtsy.

Initially thinking it was a joke, Meghan later reenacts the curtsy on the interview couch, bowing her head and spreading her arms wide.

The clip received mixed reactions from viewers, with some finding the curtsy disrespectful and offensive to the late Queen.

Meghan suggests that she bowed more than actually curtsied, while Harry remains silent.

She then adds, “Pleasure to meet you, your majesty.

Was that okay?”

before reenacting the curtsy again, describing it as awkward and comparing it to medieval times.

Now, a video has emerged showing Meghan Markle curtsying as her character, Rachel Zane, in the TV series “Suits,” which she starred in before joining the Royal family.

The video, shared on Instagram by a Royals fan account, showcases Meghan performing a quick curtsy during an early season of the legal drama.

The caption questions Meghan's previous claim of not knowing how to curtsy and mocks her comment about Medieval Times.

The account points out that this particular season of “Suits” was filmed in 2010, suggesting that Meghan knew how to curtsy long before she met Prince Harry.

It questions why Netflix or Oprah Winfrey, who interviewed Meghan for the docu-series, didn't fact-check this information.

The account also highlights that ballet is listed as one of Meghan's skills on her actress resume, and any ballerina would know how to curtsy.

While some defend Meghan's explanation in the Netflix documentary, such as David Baddiel, others have criticized her for mocking the curtsy.

British columnist Sarah Vine took to Twitter, expressing her disapproval of Meghan's behavior and questioning whether racism only works one way.

Conservative commentator Niall Gardiner also condemned Meghan's actions, calling them an embarrassment to both the royal family and the United States.

The controversy surrounding Meghan Markle's curtsy has sparked a debate among viewers.

Some find her actions disrespectful, while others argue that it was a light-hearted moment.

Regardless, this incident has further fueled the ongoing scrutiny and criticism faced by the Duchess of Sussex.

As the discussion continues, one question lingers: Have you ever had to curtsy before?

And do you know how to do it?
