Meghan Markle has raised eyebrows by joking that she curtsied like a restaurant greeter when meeting the late Queen for the first time. The Duchess of Sussex reenacted her exaggerated curtsy in the highly-anticipated Netflix series, Harry & Meghan, when sitting next to Prince Harry on a sofa.
She admits she "didn't know what she was doing", and likened her curtsy to that performed by restaurant greeters at Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. Recalling her curtsy, Meghan said: "Americans will understand this, we have Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament - it was like that". The restaurant stages medieval-style games such as jousting and sword-fighting for customers to watch while tucking into their meal.
Staff usually greet customers at the door with a curtsy before showing them to their seats and taking their orders.
