Meghan Markle's controversial suggestion that she didn't know she had to curtsy to Queen Elizabeth II has been dismissed by royal insiders. The Duchess of Sussex made the claim as she appeared in her and Harry's self-titled Netflix docuseries which aired in six parts in December 2022.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, 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. So the idea that she didn’t know she was supposed to curtsy for the [late] Queen, I just didn’t 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."
