'We know why she's Hollywood reject': Internet trolls Meghan Markle's David Brent moment on Netflix docu

'Meghan Markle doing the chicken dance Can't sing Can't dance Can't act,' a viewer wrote on social media while mocking her happy dance

NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND: Meghan Markle has been compared to David Brent from 'The Office' after a strange clip of her dancing at Kensington Palace was featured in her Netflix docu-series. Fans were quick to mock the Duchess of Sussex, who was captured dancing freely by her husband Prince Harry in their latest Netflix bombshell.

Meghan was compared to Ricky Gervais' character in the newest episodes of their Netflix documentary, a super onslaught on their own family and the media. Angela Levin, a royal specialist, compared Meghan's dance to David's, adding, "She's only slightly less ungainly." The couple's playful moment came only minutes before they unleashed their latest scathing attack on the royal family and the British media. The couple constantly attacked King Charles and Prince William, as well as the Queen, who died in September after a lifetime of service.

Some viewers find her silly performance appealing, while others compare her to Mr Bean. "I don't think she was trying to copy anyone but wanted to show what a subtle body she has," Rainer added. Meghan appears in the doorway of Nottingham Cottage, a royal home on Kensington Palace grounds, during the video, singing for Harry, who was shooting. Her movements are reminiscent of a dance made popular by comedian Ricky Gervais in the iconic television comedy 'The Office', in which he portrays a fictitious office manager. The home video was shown in the documentary as part of a segment about the Sussexes' life in London when they resided in the two-bedroom property. Prince Harry who was behind the lens was heard saying, "Oh my god. It's my favorite video. Thursday afternoon, someone's happy."

Fans on social media were quick to troll the Duchess of Sussex for her happy dance, with one commenting, "Meghan Markle doing the chicken dance Can't sing Can't dance Can't act And now we know why she's a Hollywood reject." Others throwing a dig at her mental health wrote, "Absolutely nothing to say yet, except a look into her depression." Another Twitter user commented, "So like the videos her dad used to make of her as a child - a lifetime of playing up to the camera. Quite sad really." With another mocking, "All that money her dad paid for dancing lessons were truly wasted." Throwing a sly dig into her dancing, another wrote, "Cliff Richard did it better."

Another Twitter user commented, "She looks like a sad s**t." One user also quipped, "Those bendy legs can do so much on re hoopty la ... !" Commenting on the nature of the documentary while sharing Meghan's dance clip a viewer wrote, "This isn’t anything other than a feature film." One Twitter user even compared her dancing to that of Mr Bean, "Meghan markle dancing." Another tweeted, "As much as it hurts to say this…got to go with Meghan. David Brent is too close to home to my style of dancing."

Despite the fact that they were living in the center of a royal estate, the couple stated on the show that it was a humble place to live. "Kensington Palace sounds regal, of course, it does, it has palace in the name," Meghan explained. "But Nottingham cottage was small.." Meghan mentioned the residence in the past tense. When Meghan initially went to Britain, the Sussexes were living there. There are two bedrooms, two reception rooms, a bathroom, and a small yard in the cottage. According to the Daily Telegraph, King William III and Queen Mary II paid £20,000 for it in 1689.

"As far as people were concerned, we were living in a palace," Prince Harry explained. "The whole thing's on a slight lean, really low ceilings," he explained, adding, "it had really low ceilings."

Other videos showed Harry and Meghan conducting home improvement projects around the cottage, the Duke varnishing a summer house, and Meghan gardening. "It was a time in our lives that people probably couldn't believe what was going on behind the scenes," the Duchess of Sussex remarked.

They said that Oprah Winfrey paid a visit to the Sussexes at Nottingham Cottage and commented on the size of the property. "She said, 'No one would ever believe it!'" Oprah said as she walked in, according to Harry.

The first three episodes of 'Harry & Meghan' aired on December 8 as part of the Sussex multi-million dollar deal with Netflix, with the last three hour-long episodes premiering on December 15.
