Does Meghan Markle have the ‘worst judgment of anyone in the entire world’? Following claim by Princess Diana’s former confidante Tina Brown, we recall her questionable calls… and there’s plenty to choose from

Making fun out of meeting the Queen with a deeply exaggerated curtsy
Another incident which made critics wince was when a giggling Meghan appeared to mock her own efforts at following royal protocol as she recounted the ‘surreal’ moment she first met the Queen.
In her and Harry’s December 2022 Netflix documentary, she recounted the ‘intense’ moment and performed a deep curtsy as husband Harry watched on, stone-faced, before he glanced off camera appearing awkward. The pair then chuckled afterwards.
Meghan met the Queen for the first time during a lunch at Royal Lodge in Windsor, shortly after she and the Duke revealed they were dating, in 2016.
But she said the whole occasion felt like an antiquated banquet at Medieval Times, a family dinner theatre in the US featuring staged medieval-style games, sword-fighting and jousting.
The Duke of Sussex described how Meghan meeting the Queen for the first time was a ‘shock to the system’.

Harry said: ‘My grandmother was the first senior member of the family that Meghan met. She had no idea what it all consisted of, so it was a bit of a shock to the system for her.’
Meghan said: ‘There wasn’t like some big moment of “Now you’re going to meet my grandmother”. I didn’t know I was going to meet her until moments before.
‘We were in the car and we were going to Royal Lodge for lunch, and he’s like, “Oh, my grandmother’s here, we’re going to meet her after church.”
‘And I remember we were in the car driving up and he’s like, “You know how to curtsy, right?” And I just thought it was a joke.’

Harry said: ‘How 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. That’s weird.’
