Meghan Markle’s Dance at Kensington Palace Mocked in Netflix Documentary
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has faced criticism and comparisons to fictional character David Brent from The Office after a clip of her dancing at Kensington Palace was featured in a Netflix docuseries.
In the video, Meghan is seen dancing freely, captured by her husband Prince Harry.
Fans quickly took to social media to mock Meghan, with some comparing her dance to Ricky Gervais' character in the popular television comedy.
Angela Levin, a royal specialist, compared Meghan's dance to David Brent's, describing her as “slightly less ungainly.”
While some viewers found her performance amusing, others likened her to Mr. Bean.
However, it is believed that Meghan was not trying to imitate anyone but rather showcase her graceful movements.
The video shows Meghan appearing in the doorway of Nottingham Cottage, a royal home on Kensington Palace grounds, singing for Harry who is behind the camera.
Her dance moves bear resemblance to a routine made famous by comedian Ricky Gervais in The Office, where he portrays a fictional office manager.
The home video was included in the documentary to provide insight into the Sussexes' life in London when they lived in a two-bedroom property.
Prince Harry's reaction to the video can be heard in the background, exclaiming, “Oh my god, it's my favorite video.
Thursday afternoon, someone's happy.”
However, the public response to Meghan's dance was less enthusiastic.
Social media users wasted no time in trolling her, with comments ranging from criticizing her singing and dancing abilities to making derogatory remarks about her mental health.
One Twitter user even compared Meghan's dance to that of Mr. Bean, while another reluctantly admitted that Meghan's dance resembled their own style more than David Brent's.
The couple's portrayal of their living conditions in the documentary also drew attention.
Despite residing in the heart of a royal estate, Meghan and Harry described Nottingham Cottage as a modest and small place to live.
Kensington Palace may sound grand, but Nottingham Cottage had low ceilings and was slightly tilted, according to Prince Harry.
Since the airing of the clip, people have taken to social media to express their discontent with the couple's complaints.
Some criticized them for filming inside the Queen's doll's house on the Windsor estate, while others accused them of being ungrateful and greedy.
The fact that Nottingham Cottage was previously occupied by Prince William and Princess Catherine only fueled the backlash further.
The Netflix documentary has sparked a debate about Meghan's dance and the couple's living conditions.
While some found humor in her performance, others saw it as an opportunity to criticize the Duchess.
The public response serves as a reminder that even members of the royal family are not immune to scrutiny and mockery.
