Footage of Meghan Markle curtseying in Suits surfaces online after Netflix backlash

Footage of Meghan Markle curtseying in her role on Suits has surfaced online, after she claimed she didn't know how to do one in the much talked about Netflix docuseries.

Meghan appeared in the popular drama from 2011 to 2018, playing Rachel Zane, and in one clip she can be seen curtseying in a scene of the show, writes The Mirror.

The clip surfaced online shortly after Harry and Meghan's controversial Netflix docuseries aired last week and got everyone talking.

Many Royal family fans weren't happy with Meghan after the first episode aired as Meghan acted out the moment she first met her husband's late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Meghan and Harry sat down to talk about the first time Meghan met the Queen and she said that she wasn't sure how to curtsy - and recreated exactly what she did for the camera whilst giggling.

The mum-of-two went on to say that she thought Harry was joking when he told her she would have to curtsy for his grandmother.

Meghan said: "I mean it's surreal. There wasn't some big moment of, 'Now you're going to meet my grandmother’. I didn't know I was gonna meet her until moments before.

"We were in the car going to Royal Lodge for lunch, and he was like, 'Oh my grandmother is there, she's gonna be there after church.' We were in the car, driving and he's like, 'You know how to curtsy, right?' I just thought it was a joke."

Meghan then demonstrated to the cameras the over the top, dramatic curtsy she allegedly did in front of the Queen and many fans of the late monarch felt she was mocking her husband's late grandmother as he sat beside her.

Royal commentator Gyles Brandreth, who was friends with the late Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II, said that Meghan's actions were embarrassing and disrespectful.

One royal fan took to Instagram to share a clip Meghan curtseying on screen during her time playing Rachel in Suits.

@emiliehrh captioned the clip: "Remember when #meghamarkle told #Oprah, she had no idea what curtsy was, Fergie had to tan out and teach her how to curtsy. She said she practiced in front of the house.

"In the Netflix documentary, she re-enacted the “medieval dinner and tournament” curtsy and mocked the Queen."
