Meghan Markle's Curtsy Moment: A Royal Learning Curve

Hey there, royal watchers! Let's dive into a moment that had the world buzzing: Meghan Markle's curtsy at Sandringham on Christmas Day. You’ve gotta admit, even the most composed among us would crack under such pressure. Picture this: Meghan, the newest member of the royal family, standing next to Prince Harry, Prince William, and Kate Middleton. As Queen Elizabeth glided by, Meghan gave her curtsy—and, well, let's just say it wasn’t exactly picture-perfect. Reports suggest she seemed a bit uncertain, maybe even a touch embarrassed. But hey, who could blame her? Prince Harry, ever the supportive partner, seemed quick to reassure her.

Let’s not forget, Meghan was stepping into uncharted territory. She was the first fiancée to ever join the royal family at Sandringham for Christmas. That’s a lot of pressure, right? On the other hand, Kate Middleton—let’s just say her curtsy was textbook perfection. No surprise there, though; Kate’s got years of practice under her belt. Meghan, on the other hand, was still learning the ropes, and let’s face it, curtsying isn’t exactly a skill most of us practice daily.

    Now, let’s hear what the experts had to say about Meghan’s curtsy. A royal butler chimed in on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, pointing out that Meghan’s curtsy was a bit too low. When you’re part of the royal family, every little move you make is under a microscope. Zarife Hardy, founder of the Australian School of Etiquette, shared her thoughts with Now to Love, explaining, “She will have to always curtsy to the Queen, and she will learn the art of that, which involves one foot behind the other, and the longer you stay down, the more respect you show.” Makes sense, right?

    Until Meghan officially becomes Harry’s wife, she’ll need to curtsy to any royal with a title tied to royal blood. That means mastering the curtsy is essential, and fast. No pressure, right? Let’s hope Meghan gets the hang of it soon because, hey, we all know how much scrutiny comes with the territory.
