Meghan Markle allegedly lied about her first curtsy to Queen Elizabeth II. Critics are pointing fingers at a revelation made by the Duchess of Sussex, which even Prince Harry supported, in their Netflix series “Harry & Meghan.” The Suits actress recounted learning last-minute that she had to curtsy to the Queen, claiming she had mere moments to prepare before the memorable meeting. But, according to critics, her story doesn’t hold up.
Meghan Markle’s First Curtsy: Fact or Fabrication?
Fans of the documentary series “Harry & Meghan” recall vividly how Meghan narrated her first encounter with the Queen. She said she discovered just before lunch at the Royal Lodge that she would meet Her Majesty. “Oh, my grandmother is here; she’ll be here after church,” Prince Harry reportedly said to her. Meghan Markle thought it was a joke when Harry asked if she knew how to curtsy. She claimed she was inspired by medieval curtsies from Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. “I curtsied like I was… ‘Pleased to meet you, Your Majesty’. It was so intense,” Meghan recounted with dramatic flair.
Here’s where things get murky. Critics point to Prince Harry‘s memoir “Spare,” where he tells a different story about Meghan’s famous failed curtsy. According to Harry, his aunt Sarah Ferguson, affectionately known as Fergie, had already taught Meghan Markle how to curtsy before the meeting. “Fergie came out, a little emotional, and asked, ‘Can you curtsy?’ Meg shook her head. Fergie then demonstrated, and Meg imitated her,” Harry writes.
What Does This Mean for Meghan Markle?
Critics aren’t buying Meghan Markle’s Netflix recollection. They highlight there’s a widely shared Suits scene where she’s seen curtsying. “Come on guys! She ‘forgot’ she curtsied on the show. Just like she ‘forgot’ she dictated the book to Omid,” one skeptical user quipped. The narrative between her Netflix series and Prince Harry’s book is too inconsistent, critics argue. They question if Meghan was honest about her first meeting with Queen Elizabeth II, or if she simply chose the more theatrical tale for the series.
The controversy throws a spotlight on the storytelling of Meghan Markle and raises questions about her authenticity. It seems an innocent blunder, but in the age of social media, such discrepancies can ignite a whirlwind of criticism. Whether Meghan deliberately embellished her story or merely forgot the chronology, the mixed accounts have given critics an opportunity to question her credibility.
Stay tuned as the Royal drama unfolds. Meghan Markle continues to captivate and, at times, contradict.
