Harry, for his half, seems to be stony-faced — and never a little bit embarrassed.

As detailed under, the overwhelming majority of them categorical deep disappointment at Meghan’s ‘childishness’ and ‘disrespect’ . . .
Congratulations to the movie crew. This actually is a traditional TV second. Whereas she reveals her full lack of sophistication, ridiculing royal protocol by pretending to curtsy whereas sitting on a sofa, she is completely oblivious to the whole embarrassment in Harry’s face.

However Meghan, whereas a working royal was not opposed to accepting a curtsey herself, pictured right here greeting the Lord-Lieutenant of South Glamorgan, Mrs Morfudd Meridith throughout a go to to Cardiff Citadel in January 2018

That hammed up curtsy was such an enormous and direct insult to the reminiscence of our Queen and the monarchy normally. Unforgivable.

How can this man, born into British royalty, enable his actress spouse to ridicule his grandmother, our beloved late Queen, in such a nasty manner? Nobody has ever bowed or curtsied to the Queen or to King Charles in such a manner. This man must develop a pair.

Watching Meghan mock the Queen made me really feel fairly sick. Fortunately, not all Individuals present such disdain for the UK, and particularly the Royal Household. Michelle Obama, who is way extra revered on the earth, confirmed respect for the monarchy. To look at Harry simply sit there throughout Meghan’s exaggerated curtsy is disgusting.
London
She would possibly suppose it’s ridiculous — and, certainly, it is likely to be — however curtsying is an act of respect steeped in years of custom. I suppose some traditions she simply couldn’t grasp, whereas others she might, similar to personal safety, a giant clothes allowance and titles.
Liverpool
Too dense to know that the curtsy or bow is to the crown and never the person — and that’s simply Harry.
Cwmbran
Harry, how might you sit there and watch her present such disrespect to the Queen, mimicking a pantomime curtsy? Your Queen, your ‘Commander in Chief’, your ‘Gran’? It sickened me.
Studying
So this lady spent her life in drama courses, auditioning for Hallmark motion pictures and, by her personal phrases, watching The Princess Diaries — and I daresay watching Disney, as she knew all about The Little Mermaid — and she or he didn’t know the best way to curtsy. And she or he’s speculated to be the clever one. Even three-year-old children know the best way to curtsy.
Cardiff
Considering of Mrs [sic] Markle’s curtsy in entrance of Her Majesty’s casket, exaggerated to such an extent that one feared she would possibly break her hip, made me marvel again then: ‘Is she real or doing a parody? Is she mocking the Queen in entrance of the eyes of thousands and thousands of individuals?’
I gave her the advantage of the doubt again then. I suppose I used to be unsuitable.
Munich, Germany
Meghan anticipated individuals to curtsy to her as Duchess. It’s the identical previous story of Meghan eager to be high of the tree and handled just like the princess she believes she is.
London
How self-obsessed and entitled do you must be — and, I’d add, missing in frequent courtesy — to mock the British custom of paying homage to the monarch with a bow or a curtsy? The Individuals gained’t stand it if we mock or deride their establishments or traditions — as Harry discovered when he referred to as their First Modification bonkers.
Who do Harry and Meghan suppose they’re? Allow us to hope that this docu-drama, which is much more a piece of fiction as latest episodes of The Crown, will mark the start of their descent into shame after which obscurity.
London
I don’t know which is worse, Meghan mocking the late Queen, or Harry permitting Meghan to take action earlier than his personal eyes!
Sydney, Australia
In December 2018, Meghan receives a curtsy throughout a go to to the Royal Selection Charity residential and nursing care dwelling in Brinsworth Home, Twickenham
One curtsys from a standing place. She’s demonstrating a theatrical bow and being totally disrespectful whereas Harry smiles beside her. Totally disgraceful.
Wantage, Oxon
I ponder if Harry ever wakes up, seems to be at her and thinks: ‘What the hell have I completed?’ Whereas she sits there, mocking a curtsy, he sits there with no expression. That helps the concept he agrees with what she’s doing.
United States
The curtsy feedback are so clearly an try to show a gesture of respect in the direction of Her Majesty right into a pantomime. It’s simply good manners when you’re company within the Palace. There’s no must make a giant concern out of it. So infantile.
London
Whether or not or not curtsying to the Queen at a non-public lunch when first assembly her is unusual, that’s not the purpose. Firstly, each member of the household does this, together with her personal daughter (as was exemplified by her curtsy because the Queen’s coffin handed by).
Secondly, a lady of the late Queen’s age is the last word matriarch in just about all societies. Such a girl is head of any household and due deference needs to be proven, whether or not queen or pauper.
For Harry to not pull Meghan up for mocking this etiquette is dangerous sufficient, however for Meghan to make enjoyable of her first ever assembly with the Queen is atrocious. Say nothing or present respect at all times.
UK
The Royal couple attended the Royal Selection Efficiency within the London Palladium in 2018 the place she once more obtained a curtsy upon arrival to the occasion
It is wonderful that Meghan appears shocked different royals should not slobs in monitor pants high-fiving one another and ingesting beer at a barbecue behind closed doorways.
Did she really count on the Queen to be simply somebody’s granny in slippers? It feels prefer it’s part of the issue she had with the household — expectations and actuality. Sure, you curtsy; no, you don’t hug. Sure, there’s a protocol to observe; no, it’s not a Disney story.
