Prince Harry snaps at Meghan for pranking Queen Elizabeth II

The first three chapters of Enrique and Meghan’s documentary give a lot to talk about. The Dukes of Sussex have decided to give their version of family renunciation, regardless of the ramifications of their respective testimonies. While they are always shown united against the world, there is one moment in the documentary that has drawn a lot of attention to Prince Harry’s face. During the interview, the royal talked about the moment when he had to explain to his then-girlfriend that she had to bow when she met Queen Elizabeth II. “How do you explain that you bow to your grandmother? And that she will have to? Especially for an American… it’s weird.”explains Lady Di’s son.

At the time, Meghan explains that she experienced it as something “surreal” and thought her boyfriend was making fun of her. The Duchess of Sussex starts laughing as she makes an exaggerated bow on the sofa to Prince Harry’s surprised look. ‘It was a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. Did it go well?” said Makle jokingly. “I didn’t know what I was doing”, he concludes as Prince Harry gives him an uneasy look in an attempt to dissuade him from mocking the protocol followed in British royalty. The face is the mirror of the soul and it is very easy to guess what was going through the head of Elizabeth II’s grandson at that tense moment.

Worst of all, Harry was not alone in being offended, part of the British bourgeoisie have not seen with good eyes the Prince’s wife publicly mocking the protocol followed at Buckingham, much less as it’s about something related to Elizabeth II, who passed away just a few months ago. Sarah Vine, a well-known British journalist, exploded on her social networks: “Why is it okay for Meghan to make fun of our culture like that? Or does racism only work one way?”he wrote on his Twitter account, referring to the racism the Duchess of Sussex claims she suffered within the English royal family.

English writer Gykes Brandreth described Meghan Markle’s attitude as “mocking” and “shameful”. “No one bows to the Queen like that, and no one would have advised her to do it that way.”explained in the television program Driving time. In addition, he explained what the bow should be that Harry must have ordered him to be: “He would know that the bow is, so to speak, a short nod and that it is to show respect to the sovereign, and in case of the Queen, a lady in her nineties who had earned respect through a lifetime of service,” the writer concludes.

Throughout the documentary, Lady Di’s suffering is very present, which Harry compares to his wife. The former personal chef of the late Princess, Darren McGrady, also takes issue with Meghan Markle’s mocking attitude: “The look on his face when his wife laughs because she has to bow to the Queen says it all to me” , he says cuttingly. In addition, he makes it clear that for him there is no resemblance between Meghan and Princess Diana of Wales: “I’ve known Harry since I held him as a baby while Princess Diana ate cornflakes in the kitchen of Windsor Castle. Prince Harry, with all due respect sir, your wife will never be like or comparable to your mother. I had known Princess Diana for 15 years. Not even remotely”

The chef is clear that being part of British royalty has been a free decision on Meghan’s part: “She chose to marry into the royal family. She had a choice”. It highlights that Lady Di also had issues with her in-laws but was never that disrespectful. “The Princess of Wales also had a lot to learn when she became part of this family. But she was never disrespected or ridiculed when she bowed to Her Majesty. Her Royal Highness always had respect for the woman to whom she had lived all her life. had consecrated the crown,” concludes the chief.
