Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have sparked mixed reactions from the public since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. However, one of the most talked-about incidents was their Netflix documentary series in 2022.
In an episode of the show titled Harry & Meghan, Meghan shared her experience meeting the late Queen shortly after she began dating Prince Harry in 2016. She admitted to being taken by surprise as she only learned about the meeting moments before.
During their journey to meet the Queen, Prince Harry asked Meghan if she knew how to curtsy, to which she initially thought was a joke. Harry struggled to explain royal protocol to his American girlfriend, highlighting the challenge of cultural differences.
Meghan likened the protocol of curtsying to the Queen as reminiscent of ‘Medieval Times, Dinner and Tournament,’ drawing a humorous comparison. In a playful moment, Meghan theatrically performed a deep curtsy next to Harry on a couch, amusingly exaggerating the gesture.
While some viewers found Meghan’s actions disrespectful, body language expert Jesús Enrique Rosas noted Prince Harry’s discomfort and potential feelings of contempt during the interaction. Observing Harry’s reactions, Rosas highlighted signs of unease and possible hidden emotions beneath Harry’s serious demeanor.
The expert pointed out subtle cues of anger and discomfort on Prince Harry’s face, suggesting a complex mix of emotions during the curtsy incident. The analysis delved into Harry’s non-verbal cues, indicating underlying feelings that may not have been overtly expressed during the moment.
