Meghan Markle's curtsy to Queen Elizabeth II during Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding caused criticism. Concerns over protocol were raised by social media users, many of whom were certain that a significant royal gaffe had taken place.Thousands of people watched Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, which was a significant event in British royal history. Even as the video was being shown, a number of contentious issues surfaced, with many people asserting that Markle had failed to curtsey to Queen Elizabeth II.
She was 'overwhelmed' by the event and had forgotten the protocol, according to some on social media, while others were certain that she was excused since she was an American. Royal enthusiasts and even etiquette trainers were in a frenzy of inquiries and criticism due to the potential for a major royal gaffe. Markle, who was already a well-known figure on tabloids, came under more media scrutiny because of a number of issues that arose during the wedding.
"A disrespectful gaffe"
Did Harry and Meghan give the Queen a bow and a curtsy? I failed to notice it! One X (then Twitter) user exclaimed.
The "consensus," according to another social media handle, was that she had omitted the curtsy, possibly because she was still an American citizen.
Others called it a "disrespectful" turn of events and were certain that the newlyweds had betrayed the Queen.
However, footage from the event tells a slightly different tale. Following the singing of the anthem at their wedding, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle both curtsied (and bowed) to the Queen. However, many people missed the minor shift as the cameras panned to an aerial view of the festivities at this very moment.
The British royal family has had a difficult few years, starting with a startling news in 2020 that came before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle resigned as senior royals. Meanwhile, due to his wealth, Prince Andrew, who was once second in line for the throne, has been a continual source of tabloid fodder.
