All eyes were on Meghan Markle when she and Prince Harry walked down the aisle in May 2018. There was all kinds of chatter, from her dress to her makeup, but one moment created a massive frenzy! During her wedding at St. George’s Chapel, Meghan “allegedly” forgot to curtsy to the Queen. Was she too nervous that she skipped this royal tradition? Let’s find out.

Meghan Markle: Poor Camera Angle Puts Meghan In Hot Water!

Hey folks, Meghan Markle’s curtsy controversy wasn’t what it seemed! But let’s talk about the royal bowing and curtsying tradition before getting to the hot topic. The curtsy tradition has been part of the royal DNA for ages, and it’s a crime to skip it. Even young Prince William and Harry were taught to bow or curtsy to the Queen.

RN/ Young Prince William and Harry were taught to bow or curtsey to the Queen.

Men and women bow and curtsy, respectively, in public and private, including weddings. However, viewers thought the Duchess might’ve missed the mark on her special day. Was it a faux pas or just a slip-up due to wedding anxiety? The truth is that the camera angle switched right before the Sussexes performed the non-negotiable royal tradition. 

Thankfully, the new angle showed the Invictus Games founder bowing, but Meghan’s curtsy was hard to spot. Blame it on the poor camera work! FYI, The Suits actress was trained in royal etiquette before the big day. Additionally, Markle learned everything from how to shake hands with the Queen to what to wear.

All About Meghan’s Extraordinary Wedding

And come on, the royal rulebook can be hard to master quickly. In the 2022 Netflix docuseries, Meghan laughed about her awkward curtsy and even mocked it. Furthermore, she joked about the whole “Medieval Times” experience when she first met the Queen. In fact, she called the encounter a “shock to the system.” The Duchess found it amusing when she first learned she had to curtsy.

Meanwhile, Harry shared, “How do you explain that to people? How do you explain that you bow to your grandmother?” Back to the big question: she did perform the tradition, but there was still some chaos behind the scenes. There were whispers of tension between Markle and the royals.

Remember the notorious bridesmaid dress drama with Kate Middleton that left everyone wondering who really made who cry? In a nutshell, Harry and Meghan’s wedding was anything but ordinary. Keep coming back to Soap Opera Daily for more such juicy gossip about Meghan Markle and other royal members.
