Meghan Markle’s First Royal Curtsy Criticized; Did ‘Suits’ Alum Do It Incorrectly?

Meghan Markle’s first royal curtsy to Queen Elizabeth II was highly publicized on Christmas Day, but one publication is claiming that the former actress did it incorrectly.

Prior to her public appearance with her fiancé, Prince Harry, as well as Prince William and Kate Middleton, Markle was taught on how to show respect to the queen. Before leaving the venue, Middleton and Markle bent almost at the same time, but it was also obvious that the latter looked a bit nervous and uncomfortable.

Multiple publications praised Markle for adjusting well into the life of a royal, but the Daily Mail said that her curtsy was done incorrectly. The publication also compared Markle and Middleton’s curtsy and said that the mom of two managed to do it with her back straight despite her third pregnancy.

Markle, on the other hand, wobbled a little bit, and the publication claimed that the former actress’ usual composure seemed to have left her. “By no means a disaster; but not quite the command performance,” the publication claimed.

Luckily for Markle, she’s still familiarizing herself with the ins and outs and come with being part of the royal family. She will most likely perfect her curtsy in due time.

She and Prince Harry just got engaged on Nov. 27, and they made their first public appearance as an engaged couple on Dec. 1. Days later, she returned to Los Angeles to be with her mom, Doria Ragland. And she recently flew back to London to start her training as a future royal.

After the holidays, Markle and Prince Harry are expected to go on a week-long vacation, but it is still unknown where they will be headed. Following their short vacation, the two will start preparing for their May 19, 2018 wedding.

The couple’s nuptials will take place at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, and it will be attended by approximately 800 guests.
