Meghan Markle had at least some<\/em> idea of \u200b\u200bhow to curtsy in front of Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n

After the former actress claimed she \u201cdidn’t know what [she] was doing\u201d when she first met the late monarch back in 2016, a resurfaced clip from \u201cSuits\u201d showing her curtsying has gone viral.<\/p>\n

During a 2010 episode of the drama series, Markle, who played paralegal Rachel Zane, did a small, understated curtsy in front of Rick Hoffman, who played barrister Louis Litt.<\/p>\n

In Episode 2 of \u201cHarry & Meghan,\u201d the Duke and Duchess of Sussex recounted Markle’s first encounter with Her Majesty.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy grandmother was the first senior member of the family that Meghan met,\u201d Harry, 38, explained in the docuseries, which dropped on Netflix earlier this month. \u201cShe had no idea what it all bit of, so it was a shock to the system for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was surreal,\u201d Markle, 41, added. \u201cThere wasn’t some big moment of like, ‘And now you’re gonna meet my grandmother.’ I didn’t know I was gonna meet her until moments before.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were in the car, and we were going to the Royal Lodge for lunch, and [Harry] was like, ‘Oh, my grandmother’s here.

Harry chimed in, \u201cHow do you explain that to people? How do you explain that you bow to your grandmother and that you will need to curtsy? Especially to an American. Like, that’s weird.\u201d<\/p>\n
