Meghan Markles Knicks compared to Princess Kates becomes viral

Meghan Markle's Mock Judgment of her first kink to Queen Elizabeth II.

Maybe the most famous moment of the first Netflix show of the Sussexes, Harry & MeghanCame when she described the deceased queen met for the first time in the Royal Lodge.

Meghan painted himself as an American fish out of water that has botched her kink by carrying it out in the manner of the “medieval dinner and tournament”.

Why is it important

A clip over Tikkok was liked 190,000 times and was viewed 2 million times after she was published with the news: “Meghan mocked the Knicks while Princess Kate introduces him.”

The fact that the moment of self -inflicted bad PR still attracts so much attention online shows how misguided Meghan report was.

What makes the saga particularly bizarre is that Prince Harry gave a completely different description of the kink in his book Spare part.

What to know?

The video begins with film material from Meghan's joke Curtsy from the couple's Netflix series, in which she said: “I mean, the Americans will understand that we have” medieval times, dinner and tournament “. It was so …” Joy to meet her, her majesty, was that okay? “So intense.”

The clip then shows a series of Knicks by Princess Kate, first King Charles III and Queen Camilla in Westminster Abbey on December 15, 2022.

This special moment is important because Kates took place at the Christmas larg concert on the same day, on the part II of the Harry & Meghan Documentary filmed on Netflix.

The event gave the Royals the opportunity to attract an unit front in view of Harry and Meghan's criticism, which was carried out during the show.

The Tikok post then gives itself to Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip during their wedding with Prince William in April 2011, again in the abbey, followed by Kate and Meghan Curtrying to the queen in Sandringham on Christmas Day in 2018.

What people say

Prince Harry described the original Meghan Curtsy in Spare part: “We entered the big front living room and there was. Grandma. The monarch. Queen Elizabeth II.

“In the middle of the room. It turned around slightly. Meg went straight to her and let a deep, flawless kink. 'Your majesty. Joy to meet.'”

Meghan said to her Netflix show: “I mean, the Americans will understand that, we have 'Middle Ages, dinner and tournament'.”

Edward Coram James, PR expert and managing director of Go Up based in Great Britain, explained the counter reaction at that time and told Newsweek: “I think the biggest mistake of the whole thing did not come from the royal family, but came from the sussexes, the notorious false arc.

“It is one thing not to understand another culture, but if you respect culture anyway, it is excusable. It is another thing not to understand culture and make it funny and somehow patronize it.

“I am very proud of the fence with all the stuff.”

What happens next

Meghan is preparing to publish her new Netflix show With love, Meghan Next week in which she comes to her friends in the A-list to cook delicious food.
