LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: After Meghan Markle claimed "I didn't know what I was doing" when she first greeted Queen Elizabeth II, footage of the Duchess resurfaced online where she was seen performing the "perfect curtsy." In the second episode of the docuseries 'Harry & Meghan', which was released on the streaming platform earlier this month, the 41-year-old recalled meeting the Queen for the first time back in 2016. The controversial clip generated a lot of heat from the viewers who considered it to be disrespectful to the late Queen and showed the mother of two recreating the extremely deep curtsy she performed for Her Majesty at the Royal Lodge in Windsor.

Meghan claimed that she was startled to learn that she would need to bow for the Queen ahead of the meeting and previously said that Prince Harry helped her practice an appropriate curtsy for meeting a member of the royal family. However, after the release of the Netflix docu, fans spotted a clip from season two of 'Suits' where the former actress performs a quick curtsy in her role as paralegal Rachel Zane. The footage which was shot in 2010 shows Louis Litt, played by Rick Hoffman, thanking Rachel for her research on a case he was working on. Louis then jokingly asked her to bow for him and Rachel performs a quick curtsy before being thrown out of his office.

Prince Harry said in the Netflix docuseries that he checked his new partner knew how to curtsy for his grandmother ahead of the impromptu lunch at Windsor in 2016. Meghan then shared her own experience where she compared having the dinner to the trip to the American restaurant franchise Medieval Times.

"Now I'm starting to realise this is a big deal. I mean, Americans will understand this," Meghan said, according to Daily Mail, describing her first meeting with the late monarch. "We have Medieval Times dinner and tournament. It was like that. Like, I curtsied as though I was like... 'Pleasure to meet you, your Majesty.' It was so intense. And then when she left, Eugenie and Jack and Fergie say, 'you did great!'. Thanks. I didn't know what I was doing," she added.
