TikTok is full of viral videos of the royal family. Many of them are adorable throwbacks of the Prince and Princess of Wales, which we will never get tired of watching, while others aren’t so wholesome.
A clip of Meghan Markle talking about meeting – and curtsying – to the late Queen Elizabeth II has once again resurfaced on the social media platform, with royal fans criticizing her for “disrespecting” the late monarch with her comments and actions.
@theoz.com.au That’s a loaded curtsy… Last night, #MeghanMarkle and #PrinceHarry’s new docuseries #HarryandMeghan aired on #Netflix, and one scene in particular in the six-part program has divided viewers. #queenelizabeth #royals ♬ Royal-Tea – gregsimsmusic
Meghan Markle Talks About Curtsying To The Late Queen Elizabeth II
The clip came from the controversial Harry & Meghan Netflix documentary, whereby the former Suits actress talks about meeting the late Queen for the first time, and being shocked that she had to curtsy to her.
The American Riviera Orchard founder then proceeds to tell the cameras that she didn’t know how to curtsy, and then reenacts her curtsy in a dramatic way. The Spare author seemingly doesn’t know how to react to his wife’s reenactment, with some viewers thinking he is “embarrassed” by it, and others thinking that they spotted a slight snigger from him, which they deemed equally disrespectful.
Fans were seemingly embarrassed by (and for) both Prince Harry and Meghan after watching the clip, with the majority of them slamming the couple for their “disrespectful” behavior.
Fan Comments
"Harry looked confused and embarrassed for her," wrote one fan in the comments. "Harry clearly looked either embarrassed or offended," thought a second, as a third said: "I think it was a joke but Harry just looks at her like she is crazy but she's mine."
"Wow how can she make a mockery of his family and double wow to him for letting her to do such a thing," slammed a fourth, as a fifth exclaimed: "She is feral! How disrespectful!"
"If I came to America I would respect your ways as well not mock them," commented another fan, as many others spoke out about Meghan "disrespecting" the late Queen.
"So disrespectful and very rude," said one fan. "That was so rude," echoed another. "Absolute disrespect. Even if you don't believe in the monarchy, 'when in Rome,'" commented another fan. "She is an embarrassment," criticized another.
"Run Harry, Run!" exclaimed another. Another shocked TikTok user said: "Harry professes to have loved his grandmother Queen Elizabeth (known as to the rest of the world) and he just sat and watched his wife mocking her?!"
"Disgusting behavior and Harry should be ashamed of himself for letting her take the [expletive] out of his late grandmother," slammed another. "A Shameful Act. Harry has NO backbone in that marriage," said another.
