A resurfaced clip from the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan has reignited online backlash against Meghan Markle for her comments and actions regarding her first meeting with the late Queen Elizabeth II.
In the clip, Meghan recalls being surprised to learn she would have to curtsy to the Queen and admits she didn’t know how to perform the gesture. The former Suits actress then reenacts her curtsy in an exaggerated, dramatic manner. Prince Harry, seated next to her during the interview, appears unsure how to react, with some viewers interpreting his expression as one of embarrassment or discomfort.
The moment has sparked outrage among royal fans on TikTok, who accuse Meghan of disrespecting the late monarch.
Advertisement One fan commented, “Harry looked confused and embarrassed for her.” Another added, “Wow, how can she make a mockery of his family, and double wow to him for letting her do such a thing.”
Critics expressed disbelief at Meghan’s actions, with one saying, “So disrespectful and very rude,” and another stating, “Even if you don’t believe in the monarchy, ‘when in Rome.’”
Many were equally critical of Prince Harry for not intervening. “Harry professes to have loved his grandmother Queen Elizabeth and he just sat and watched his wife mocking her?” asked one viewer. Another remarked, “Disgusting behavior, and Harry should be ashamed of himself for letting her take the [expletive] out of his late grandmother.”
While some defended the moment as a lighthearted joke, the majority of commenters on TikTok labeled the behavior as inappropriate, with one concluding, “She is an embarrassment.”
This viral clip continues to fuel polarizing opinions about the couple’s public approach to discussing their experiences with the royal family.
