<\/p>\n

\n

Prince Harry has been mostly supportive of Meghan Markle, but there was one time he was forced to intervene after his wife made a “disrespectful” joke about the late Queen Elizabeth.<\/p>\n

The couple sent shockwaves around the world when they released their bombshell Netflix docuseries<\/a>, Harry & Meghan. The show – which first aired three years ago today on December 8, 2022 – saw Harry and Meghan open up about what life inside the royal family was really like<\/a> for them.<\/p>\n

In the program, Meghan recalled meeting Harry’s grandmother<\/a> for the first time. She performed an exaggerated curtsey as she spoke about the “surreal” moment, but Harry remained silent.<\/p>\n

To mark the anniversary of the show’s release, body language expert Judi James has taken a look back at the awkward moment and suggested Meghan’s joke is now “especially shocking,” given that Meghan’s Duchess of Sussex title reportedly gets announced before she enters a room.<\/p>\n

James also suggested Harry seemed uncomfortable during the exchange and said he seemed to be “embarrassed” by his wife’s comments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meghan started her story by comparing her first encounter with Queen Elizabeth to a dinner at Medieval Times. Speaking to the Daily Mail<\/a>, James pointed out how Meghan held her hand up to Harry in what the expert described as a signal of “exclusion.”<\/p>\n

Meghan then began her story by saying, “Americans will understand this…”<\/p>\n

James said the only other time Meghan acknowledged Harry during the exchange was when she gave him an “immature, girlish side-eye,” suggesting she knew she was being “childish.”<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Sussex recalled how she met Queen Elizabeth for lunch at Royal Lodge, shortly after her relationship with Harry was made public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meghan said the meeting felt like going for a dinner at Medieval Times, a theater event which features staged medieval-style games, sword-fighting and jousting.<\/p>\n

She said she didn’t know she would be meeting Elizabeth until “moments before” it happened when Harry asked if she knew how to curtsey.<\/p>\n

Commenting on Meghan’s tale, James said, “Her mocking tone begins when she shares that ‘I just thought it was a joke\u2026right?’ to imply royal protocol is comedy rather than part of the culture of the country.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Harry remained straight-faced when Meghan then performed a deep curtsey. James pointed out how Meghan’s voice became extremely high-pitched as she recalled saying, “Pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty.”<\/p>\n

The body language expert claimed this was Meghan trying to “summon the mind’s eye image of the late Queen being on the receiving end of this mimicry.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
