Meghan Markle's curtsy in the television series 'Suits' has resurfaced following the release of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Netflix documentary 'Harry and Meghan,' in which the duchess jokes about having to curtsy to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

In the second episode of the highly anticipated royal couple's docuseries, Meghan Markle described her first encounter with Prince Harry's grandmother shortly after the pair began dating in 2016.

Meghan Markle Says She Doesn't Know Curtsy

Meghan Markle claimed she was unprepared to meet the British queen and recalled that Prince Harry asked her if she knew how to "curtsy" as they were on their way to see her.

She then stood alongside Prince Harry on the interview sofa and reenacted the dramatic curtsy by bending her head and extending her arms. The clip was met with varied reactions from viewers, who deemed the curtsy to the late Queen "disrespectful and rude."

A video of Meghan Markle curtsying as her character Rachel Zane from the television series Suits, on which she appeared before joining the royal family, has gone viral, as per The Independent.

The clip, which was posted to Instagram by royals fan @emiliehrh, depicts Meghan Markle doing a brief curtsy during an early season of the courtroom drama.

Previously, during a television interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle said that she did not realize she was required to curtsy in front of the Queen. The mother of two was perplexed by the requirement to curtsy, given the monarch was Prince Harry's grandmother.

Per Daily Mail, Meghan Markle states that she was astonished to find that she would need to bow for the Queen before to the encounter, and she previously stated that Prince Harry assisted her in practicing an acceptable curtsy for meeting a member of the Royal Family.

Fans of the royal family, however, have noticed a clip from season two of Suits in which the former actress does a short curtsy in her character as paralegal Rachel Zane, in the aftermath of the shocking Netflix series.

The tape, which was shot in 2010, depicts Louis Litt (portrayed by Rick Hoffman) praising Rachel for her study on a case he's currently working on. Rachel does a brief curtsy before being booted out of his office after he playfully instructs her to bow for him.

Emilie, who uploaded the video on Instagram, described it as an example of the Duchess performing a "beautiful curtsy." Others said that Prince Harry was "EXTREMELY uncomfortable" when his wife made fun of her attempt at a curtsy.

Meghan Markle Had Miscarriage

In addition, in her interview with Oprah last year, the Duchess stated that Prince Harry helped her rehearse her curtsy minutes before The Queen entered the room. Meghan Markle met the Queen as the first senior member of the Royal Family following the 2016 announcement of her relationship with Prince Harry.

Meghan Markle admitted in another section of the video that she had to Google the British national anthem during the early stages of her romance with Prince Harry.

Before joining the royal family, the mother of two constantly performed the patriotic rendition of 'God Save The Queen' that she had learned herself online. She added, jokingly, that she didn't want to flap her hands 'like an American' since she wasn't trained to move them in any certain manner.

Meanwhile, in the last parts of the Netflix documentary, the pair confesses that they believe their dispute with the Daily Mail's owners caused Meghan Markle's miscarriage.

In the final three episodes, Prince Harry accuses his brother Prince William of informing the media against him, and he and Meghan Markle prepare to leave the United Kingdom in early 2020.

The emphasis changes to how their once-fairytale relationship evolved into a nightmare. It describes the racial stereotype-laden tabloid attacks on Meghan Markle and the couple's desire to depart. The British press termed it "Megxit," although Prince Harry claims he was the driving force behind the departure.

Netflix said that more than 28 million households worldwide have tuned in. There were no opposing viewpoints in any segment of the program; this is the narrative of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from their perspective, The National Post reported.
