\n

Meghan Markle<\/a> first started dating Prince Harry<\/a> 10 years ago this summer, and her life has changed a great deal since then. While she is now well aware of the rules that come with the Royal Family, whether that be the correct way to greet a senior royal or the type of behaviour expected, this was reportedly not the case at first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is something Meghan, 44, once admitted herself as she claimed she did not know she would have to curtsy<\/a> to Queen Elizabeth II when meeting her. This was something the Duchess revealed in the 2022 Netflix<\/a> docuseries Harry and Meghan, as she said she thought Harry was joking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Recalling her first curtsy to the late Queen, Meghan said: \u201cI curtsied like I was\u2026 \u2018Pleased to meet you, Your Majesty\u2019. It was so intense.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Speaking to Vanity Fair<\/a> about the type of person that Meghan is, fashion and cultural commentator Tom Fitzgerald said: “Meghan is the type of woman who would check a menu out online before going to a restaurant to pick what she was going to eat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“So the idea that she didn\u2019t know she was supposed to curtsy for the [late] Queen, I just didn\u2019t find it particularly believable, because [based on] everything she ever told us about herself, I cannot imagine that she went into meeting the Royal Family completely cold, with no research whatsoever.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meghan also claimed that she knew very little about her now husband Harry<\/a> before meeting him, however, this was debunked by authors Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie in their unauthorised biography of Harry and Meghan called Finding Freedom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When writing about Harry and Meghan’s first date in 2016, the authors wrote: \u201cNaturally, both participants in this blind date did their homework with a thorough Google search.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They then welcomed their son Prince Archie into the world in 2019, followed by Princess Lilibet in 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
