As revealed on their Netflix show "Harry & Meghan," it appears that Harry wasn't particularly thrilled with Meghan poking fun at his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. The incident unfolded when Mrs. Markle decided to playfully jest about the tradition of curtsying to the Queen of England. A body language expert weighed in, noting evident signs of anger and frustration on Harry's part during this exchange – his face even taking on a noticeable shade of red.
From OK! Magazine:
"And I remember we were in the car, and we were driving up, and he's like, 'You know how to curtsy, right?' And I just thought it was a joke," the Duchess of Sussex shared in Harry & Meghan.
"It's surreal. It wasn't like some big moment of like, 'Now you're going to meet my grandmother.’ I didn't know I was going to meet her until moments before," she added.
At that point, the former actress then performs a pantomime, over-exaggerated-like rendition of a curtsey while laughingly sharing, "Pleasure to meet you, your Majesty."
"Prince Harry's face says it all," body language expert Jesus Enrique Rosas dished when discussing the exchange. "The first part of Harry's reaction tells me that he knew what was coming. He is serious even if Meghan is speaking quickly, joyfully but there's no connection, no empathy in him. He is serious and maybe even angry, notice what happens with his throat, he is swallowing at that moment."
"He is looking at Meghan, and he displays contempt. A split second after that, he looks away and presses his jaw. You can see the patches of red on his face are much redder — the cheeks, the bridge of the nose, the temples — it could be that he feels ashamed or angry," he added.
Rosas continued: "I'm going to tell you why this is covert anger and not [Harry being] ashamed. If he was ashamed, he would have smiled a bit more, or [had] a nervous laughter. But he knew what was coming, and he couldn't stand it — that he had that face at the beginning and had that subtle swallow right before Meghan did the curtsy."
Well, regardless of whether this truly made Harry upset, the fact is that he just sat there like a schmuck and let it happen. Not only that, but the scene also made it on the show for millions to see.
