Members of the Royal Family showed their respects to the Queen at Westminster Hall, with the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex both curtsying to Her Majesty.
After the short service, Meghan was photographed taking a deep curtsy before coffin of her grandmother-in-law.
Female royals normally curtsy if they are seeing the monarch for the first time that day while men bow their head.
During her Oprah interview, the Duchess of Sussex recalled meeting the Queen for the first time at the Royal Lodge.
She expressed how she was left shocked at having to learn how to curtsy so fast and how she ended up doing a ‘very deep’ curtsy.
“I remember Harry and I were in the car, and he says, ‘OK, my grandmother is there so we’re going to meet her,'”. “And I said, ‘Oh great, I love grandmas.’ (…)
“’But, right, do you know how to curtsy?’”
Meghan said she thought it only happens outside. “I thought that was part of the fanfare. I didn’t think that’s what happens inside, and I said, ‘It’s your grandmother.’ He goes, ‘It’s the Queen.’”
“That was really the first moment that the penny dropped that this wasn’t easy,” she added.
Moments before meeting Her Majesty, Meghan said she practiced curtsying with help from Harry and the Duchess of York.
“I learned it very quickly,” she said. “Right in front of the house, we just practiced and then we walked in.”
“I met her and, apparently, I did a very deep curtsy,” Meghan added.
After the service, the Duke and Duchess of were seen holding hands.
Harry walked alongside the Prince of Wales during the procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, while Meghan traveled with the Countess of Wessex by car.
