Meghan Markle’s Joke About Courtesying Upsets Princess Anne and Sophie Wessex

Princess Anne is reportedly upset with Meghan Markle because of how she made fun of the royal family's tradition of courtesying to senior royals.

In the documentary Harry and Meghan, Markle revealed that she didn't have any idea how to courtesy properly to Queen Elizabeth.

So, when they first met, Markle felt that she bowed too low.

To give viewers an idea of how she courtesied to the Queen, Markle exaggeratedly bowed her entire body and laughed while doing so.

New reports are claiming that when Princess Anne saw how Markle made fun of her courtesy, she became upset.

The Princess Royal was outraged that Meghan made a joke out of a highly respectful tradition.

Anne is a stickler for protocol, so it's no surprise that this has gotten up her nose, a source said.

Sophie Wessex also allegedly raised her eyebrows at the sight of Markle making fun of her courtesy.

Sophie thought the whole thing was in bad taste, especially the courtesy chatter.

She knows Meghan was trying to play the cute silly American, but to her, it just came off as silly and a tad childish.

Sophie also made headlines recently amid reports that Queen Elizabeth asked her to guide Markle when she first joined the royal family, but she refused.

Markle allegedly didn't want Sophie and Queen consort Camilla's help because she felt that Prince Harry could teach her the ropes.

But during her interviews and even in Harry and Meghan, Markle complained about not getting the support that she needed from the royal family.

Things took a turn for the worse when Markle told the Queen that she wanted to seek professional help amid her suicidal thoughts.

But they told her that it wouldn't be a good look for the firm.

And then there's Princess Anne.

The Queen's only daughter never developed a close bond with Markle.

In fact, there are claims that Princess Anne knew very early on that Markle wouldn't survive in her royal role.

Body language expert Judy James said that Markle tried to get on Princess Anne's good side, but she never succeeded.

Anne's eye gaze tended to be slightly more distant though.

Although Anne does tend to keep a more formal demeanor during public events, the source said.

Meanwhile, angry Royals have accused Meghan Markle of lying about not being able to courtesy after footage emerged of her doing it perfectly four years before she met Prince Harry.

A clip from when Meghan Markle was in the American legal drama Suits is being shared on social media by royal enthusiasts Kinsey Schofield and Emili HRH.

And it shows Meghan was able to courtesy four years before she even met the Prince.

Kinsey Schofield, who runs the To Die For Daily podcast, pointed it out to her followers who are angry at what they were witnessing.

In response to the clip on Twitter, @NancyLBE wrote, “Such a fraud,” while @ABTR2017 posted, “Come on guys.

She forgot she'd courtesied in the show.

Just like she forgot she dictated the book to Omid.”

@RealBrit20 said, “Another good find.

I know when you tell so many, it must be hard to keep track of the lies.

Perhaps she could hire someone to preempt everything she says with things like, ‘Sorry ma'am, I think you actually managed to quick courtesy back on that TV show we don't speak of anymore.'”

@AgathaMarple3 queried, “Weren't we told she'd hired a fact-checker?

Guess she didn't like the facts as presented to her.

You're fired.”
