Started off on the wrong foot? Meghan Markle‘s first meeting with Prince William and Princess Kate certainly left a lasting impression — but it might not have been a positive one.
During Meghan, 41, and Prince Harry‘s Netflix docuseries, which started streaming on Thursday, December 8, the former actress recalled the memorable introduction.
“Even when William and Kate came over and I met her for the first time, they came over for dinner, and I remember I was in ripped jeans and I was barefoot,” she shared, noting that the couple weren’t prepared for her informal response. “I was a hugger. I’ve always been a hugger. I didn’t realize that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.”
According to Meghan, her first moments with the royal family taught her some important lessons.
“I guess I started to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside, that there is a forward-facing way of being, and then you close the door and you go, ‘Oh, alright, OK, I can relax now,’” she continued. “But that formality carries over on both sides, and that was surprising to me.”
Meanwhile, Harry, 38, broke down his now-wife’s initial interaction with the late Queen Elizabeth II, saying, “My grandmother was the first senior member of the royal family that Meghan met. She had no idea what it consisted of, so it was a bit of a shock to the system for her.”
The California native noted she wasn’t expecting to be asked to curtsey to the then-monarch, to which her husband replied, “How do you explain that to people? That you have to bow to your grandmother or curtsey. Especially to an American.”
