Kate hailed as ‘true woman’ for ‘completely’ executing act Meghan discovered arduous
Royal enthusiasts have showered Princess Kate with praise after a video surfaced showing her flawlessly executing an act Meghan Markle has admitted to struggling with.
The video, shared on the TikTok account @theroyalwatcher2, showcased a compilation of Kate’s curtsies and even included a moment where the Princess of Wales nearly stumbled but managed to “style it out like a Queen”, according to the caption.
The traditional curtsy, a staple gesture within the Royal Family, was something the Duchess of Sussex confessed she found challenging during her Netflix documentary with Prince Harry, titled ‘Harry & Meghan’.

In the documentary, Meghan can be seen performing the curtsy in a somewhat exasperated manner as she grapples with the various protocols and expectations that come with being a member of the Royal Family.
Meghan revealed that she initially thought some of these protocols were “a joke”, particularly when recalling her first meeting with the Queen for lunch at the Royal Lodge in Windsor in 2016. She even likened the experience to dining at Medieval Times, a mediaeval-themed restaurant in the US.

She recalled: “I remember we were in the car, driving and he’s [Harry] like, ‘You know how to curtsy, right? ‘. And I just thought it was a joke.”
The Duchess of Sussex added: “Now I’m starting to realise this is a big deal. I mean, Americans will understand this. We have Medieval Times dinner and tournament. It was like that. Like, I curtsied as though I was like… ‘Pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty’.”
Meghan then performed an over-the-top curtsy, complete with a dramatic head bow and wide arm spread. She said in the doc: “Pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. Like, was that okay? It was so intense.”

This moment is in stark contrast to Kate’s more polished curtsy, which has been making waves on TikTok. Royal fans have been gushing over the Princess of Wales’ grace, with one admirer posting: “Most wonderful lady in the world.”
Another fan said: “Kate subtly learned how to become the perfect princess, she’s a class act.” And a third said: “A true lady. Wishing her get well soon.”
