Hey everyone! Hope you’re enjoying this analysis 😊. Here’s an extra note that I filmed but then cut out to make the video briefer. There’s a lot of speculation in the comments as to why Meghan’s mannerisms and cadence are the way they are. I think acting plays a big part of it but much more than that, in episode 2 we see her mother being interviewed and then going back to the city they lived in and it’s plain to see that that is EXACTLY where she gets her mannerisms. It’s the exact same. Her mom is very animated with her face and when talking about their phone call when Meghan told her about Harry, she starts whispering, at some point they both even make a comment about their old yard at the same time the exact same way. The resemblance in mannerisms is uncanny. I’ll also add that there is nothing inherently wrong with these mannerisms. They simply rub certain people the wrong way (as many of you commented). It’s totally possible that some people are perfectly fine with it or even find it engaging but for whatever reason some people intuitively respond negatively to it, this is why we avoid it on stage. as mentioned in the video, I know this is a very polarizing topic for a lot of people (I explain why in the video) but let's try and keep the discussions polite and respectful please. Everybody's personal opinion is valid and I would love the conversations in the comments to reflect the open minded attitude that we value in this community. Thanks ❤

[@anonview]

This is the most objective, straightforward video I've seen on the documentary, and I love it! 👍 I can't speak for others, but the reason I'm uncomfortable listening to her more exaggerated stories is because she seems to exude "exclusivity." She doesn't often use sentences that invite listeners to experience what she did. When she was talking about the elephant stuff, I didn't feel as if she was wishing the audience was with her when that happened. Instead, I felt as if she was saying that she was sorry something like that had never happened to her audience. I think this feeling of being excluded from the topic of conversation is what puts many people off.

I was waiting for ur analysis, 44:59 So true about ur analysis, I didn't pick up on(contempt) it first, When i saw this scene, i felt something was out place, like why isn't he saying anything, or joking about it like saying "yeah, that was awkward". Rather he sat there with little to no expression or trying to at least. It feels like maybe she is making this up, and it didn't actually happen, and its her way to show us how Naive she was, and her naiveness is so funny and adorable, again trying to relate to masses, but it didn't land well.

I really wish you had left it in. It seems very important to understanding her mannerisms and may have helped some of the more … uncharitable commenters. Her mother is a social worker, she’s probably used to having to explain things to adults in a way she feels they can understand and also talking to kids during difficult situations. I feel like some of that could explain the way Meghan explains things

I live in Scotland, Princess Anne had an official visit to my place of work. Those that were meeting her were briefed by a royal staffer on etiquette. Curtsy, greeting etc. If that’s what is done for Princess Anne, I don’t for a moment believe Megan didn’t get briefed on how and what to do.

Countries have traditions. The Japanese bow as a greeting

[@l.b.5892]

Thank you for pointing that out. I did not know that happened, I like it. I think in the case of the dinner though, there wouldn't be that though as she would have been briefed before, so she should have known that, but the situation was intimate and 'informal' - but still. In that situation I think she wanted to play the 'American actress sweetheart' bit, and how cool and trendy she thinks she is; when in fact she is just rude and uncouth. How sad. I would never wear ripped Jeans and barefoot during any dinner date with friends nor family. I may do so however, after a tiring or shopping day with a close friend and go home for a quick/rushed casual bite. That was not the case here. Total ego and preemptive projection. She really thought she was going to be loved and adored, but that wasn't the case 🤦‍♀️ No wonder William, if that is the case, thought she was rude, difficult and abrasive. I agree with him!

That’s not true, the press criticized Hugo Chavez for almost stretching out his hands to Queen Elizabeth and he was a President of a country. So someone didn’t brief him on greeting the queen. This may have been the case with MM.

[@maggiebeth5442]

Don't get me wrong, I spend all day in my pyjamas when I can get away with it! I hate dressing up for events. I'm also a hugger (I'm British so she was wrong with that generalisation imo) and I'm middle class as we're told Meghan was raised. However, if I was meeting my boyfriend's family and was serious about the relationship, I would not be in ripped jeans and bare feet and I certainly wouldn't force myself on them physically. Not all people are comfortable with physical contact. If she has reached her 30s and still doesn't recognise that then it's either because she doesn't pay attention to other people or because she doesn't care about their needs.

So moaning Meg having no idea - has to be a bare faced lie - right there! This was a fascinating watch - thank you!

[@annettecarter7890]

I agree, but from what I understand, they had not expected to see the Queen that day, so probably no time for staff to prepare her, she would have arrived with Harry and gone straight in. The fact that in the interview, Harry says he asked her "You know how to curtsey?" shows that he had not discussed how she should behave.

​@karenholland215 Royal family is human beings too. We all have ways to greet elders in our cultures. It's nothing extraordinary. She could just ask Harry. Even a simple handshake would have been OK than this. On the top of that, she acts like it's perfectly alright, but makes a huge deal out of Catherine being uncomfortable about been hugged. That's pretty hypocritical.

She did an Oprah interview, while Prince Phillip was on his deathbed, telling the world the RF was racist in their dealings with her. She disrespected the late Queen, who is probably one of history's greatest women and promoted women's rights in a man's world. QEII also promoted positive race relations. She formed the modern Commonwealth, which is voluntary and the benefit is good trade deals and helping young people. And they had the utter gall to call it Empire 2.0, which was so untrue and insulting to all the countries that voluntarily joined. Her life's work, tarnished by lies. That is unforgivable and can never be undone. That fake exaggerated bow will haunt her for her lifetime. She lied multiple times, is a bully and keeps on lying about the RF. Nope. I dont like her or her behaviour and I am angry about that. I dont hate people, but I dont have to like them or their behaviour.

The other thing that I thought really bizarre aside from the fact that the points that you made she was pregnant she was an Oprah‘s chicken coop. I grew up on a farm I know for a fact when you’re pregnant the doctors tell you not to go in the chicken coop because it’s dangerous to your unborn child I find that very frustrating I don’t know what word I’m looking for, but she should’ve known better and I know obis would’ve told her to not do that.

I learned an awful lot, about the many truly beneficial international roles that The Royal Family does and has played in the world and the racial diversity that already exists within the family, from Lady Colin Campbell. I was already starting to dislike Meghan after the woke wedding. Whether the RF were trying to respect and/or appease Meghan’s racial chip on her shoulder, or were performing the now obligatory white apology for all sins across all time, I resented the fact that one individual was joining the British Royal Family and its entire culture and yet it was the latter who had to adapt, accommodate and virtue signal. The black pastor, black gospel choir, black musicians, and a whole entourage of black celebrities whom Meghan didn’t know personally; all of it smacked of race activism and a clear announcement that, _”I don’t respect your family. In fact, I hate it. My role is to help Harry escape it and make a public statement that I will not bend or compromise one inch to your white, racist, archaic, colonialist institution.”_ If someone told me that this was an operation to undermine the royal family, I wouldn’t dismiss it. Of all the royals, Harry has clear vulnerabilities that can be, and arguably were exploited.

[@mitrajordan]

I’ve met the queen, in the context of a private garden party at a historic site. I was one of the servers, wearing costume, we were all vetted and prepared beforehand.

If not, you need to ask and get the formal reply of "Yes- come over." If you don't know her, you need to ring the doorbell, explain yourself and get express permission (which she probably won't give you because she doesn't trust strangers). Different levels of familiarity equate to different levels of introduction.

[@niklet9246]

I know it's an isolated incident, but my mind goes to the video of Meghan and Harry expecting to attend an event that I suspect they knew they weren't invited to. Charles tells them not to come in the room and they inch forward clearly intending to ignore him. Meghan starts to go in front of Charles and both Harry and Charles don't let that happen. She then pushes in front of Harry to walk in after Charles. It's very difficult for me to believe that Meghan just didn't know better. I think she needs to own (realize) that she has a personality that is MORE than just headstrong. Same with Harry but in different ways.

My husband and I are different race, come from different country, and very different culture background. The first time meeting eachother’s family, we both asked “is there anything we should do, what to wear, certain way to behave”, and with all the tips, we both made mistakes which caused not-so-great first impression. So I thought, at the first meeting with W&K, she probably did prepare but still did make mistakes. That can be excused. But then she went on saying things like “i am always a hugger”, and make fun of the British culture and Royal protocols, that to me sound like she is aware that she made mistakes and she didnt care. She didnt want to change herself at all for marrying into a Royal Family.

First if you read Grace Kelly’s autobiography, you’ll see that she didn’t have an easy entrance into the Monaco Royal family. It was something she had to Work at. She even gave Princess Diana if you read that autobiography some tips on how to navigate the royal world. Secondly, we must first and foremost understand that for Megan it was totally different. She’s a woman of color whether she wants to admit it or not and I think she got a taste of that. She finally saw herself as a black woman in America. I’m a Jewish black woman and my mother always told me the world would look at my skin color first before they looked at my character. Megan did not realize that people would look at her skin color first before they look at her character that they would assign a character based on her skin color. I think that a lot of the things said because I read them I’m Canadian and I read a lot of the things being harsh at her and as a Jewish black woman in Canada/America , I’m gonna tell you right now there was a lot of racist comments towards her so much so tell if it was me and her position I would’ve broke. I would’ve wanted to get the hell out of there so think before you speak because sometimes you need to walk a mile and somebody’s shoes in order to see their point. And if you can go back way back to one of Oprah‘s interviews, where a young boy read John Griffin’s book black like me And decided to try that experiment he did not last one week.

[@e.starling141]

@@lynnfinly Yeah exactly. I mean we could accept their story that she was just oblivious and the very protective Harry did absolutely nothing to prepare her or to keep her from making mistakes, (they DO love to play victim) or we could think logically and realize that Harry is VERY protective of her and would have done everything possible to make sure she didn't embarass herself. And as we know she was offered her own aide to help her acclimate to their customs and she refused the help. (Which proves she just didn't care to respect their traditions.) I also find it really suspect when they were talking about how Meghan kept "accidentally" breaking the royal rules/traditions such as wearing her hair in a bun in public, as well as not wearing panty hose. There's a reason that never happened with Kate or any other woman who's married into the family. And that's that they're all aware of the rules. For Meghan to pretend she didn't know once again defies belief. Even HARRY would know these things. And knowing she likely had disdain for tradition and any "rule" that dictated what women could wear (especially knowing shes a vocal liberal feminist) it seems much more likely the rule breaking was very purposeful. That's just my take anyway.

[@yoshi4691]

My family bloodline is directly connected to HRH, and many Royal customs and procedures have overlapped in our behaviours. This includes directives on how to greet others, what to wear, and frankly - any and all types of considerations in place in any given moment. That being said, we are still far removed from that world. Thus, it is extremely difficult for me to believe that Prince Harry (nor his team) did not brief Meghan on protocol for a visit. Everything has to be meticulously organized, right down to the silverware or angle of a serving tray. I did not watch this documentary, nor do I have an opinion of her, but my gut says that a lot of this is fabricated, or swept up in a self victimization narrative. As others have said, the mockery and contempt for family traditions is.. off-putting 🚩. I think every person entering into marriage has to make concessions and efforts to preserve some consistency in tradition (toxicity aside). Being a good host, is about making others feel comfortable, particularly when you have little authority in a situation that could make or break your union, or make for a strained relationship with said guests in the future. It feels like Harry has taken a codependent stance and reframed it as "diplomacy" in his marriage, while Meghan attempts to reframe her obstinacy as being innocent or naive, and this is what irked me the most. Meghan is trying to co-opt the role of Diana by taking on her early life narrative of "not knowing". I believe she is mirroring this to Harry and this is why he is hooked. It is emotionally manipulative at best.

Hugging is a no-no if one doesn't know the other. We keep our distance first until we feel that person is a genuine person. This woman called Meghan made history by being disrespectful and mocking other people's tradition, worst part, her own husband's family. This man whose name is Harry, seems like a wierdo, comes from a highly respectable family - British Monarchy. By accepting this woman who walks all over his culture and tradition is beyond anyone's comprehension.

As an American I respect the traditions of other countries and wouldn't dream of not researching how to properly behave. Would she approach bowing in Eastern cultures with the same contempt?

She probably thought it was all hanging out with friends, drinking champagne, eating caviar on tiny toast triangles & getting her glam on. Then it turned out there was work involved that she didn’t want to do, she didn’t want to confine herself to royal protocol & she wasn’t really allowed to talk about whatever leftie nonsense popped into her head (because the royal family is supposed to be non-partisan), which she thought was mean & convinced H of that, too. So now she HAS to do this documentary even though it’s going to hurt her (even though, in reality, the victimhood is all in her head). She has to act the victim ALL the time.

I met Prince Andrew back in 2000 on the island of Anguilla. My ex and I were invited to a cocktail part at the Governor's House in honour of his visit. We were definitely given a written protocol and what to do and what not to do when meeting a royal. If I were dating and meeting my partner's family for the first time, I wouldn't be walking around barefoot wearing ripped jeans, whether they were royal or not.

[@lilhimer3361]

I'm not buying most of whatever she's trying to sell. She wore ripped jeans and was barefoot when she met Prince William and Princess Kate? She's lying, or she has a rather blatant way of showing utter contempt toward her future husband's family, the customs that are important to them, just everything. I personally think it's a lie. It never happened. Prince Harry knows this very well but has bought into her lies. She repeats them. She believes that everyone agrees that their customs are ridiculous. Whether that is true or not really isn't the point. If I were dating a garbage man, I would have had more respect for his family than to be dressed the way she was. Did they show up three hours early before she was able to get dressed? It never happened.

I was so nervous about meeting my husband's family that I asked before meeting them because I KNEW that my family was more "relaxed" than his. If MM didn't ask, that's completely on her!

I'm British and I would just like to say thank you for your impartial coverage on this. In the interests of full disclosure I have to say that when they first got together I was 100% team Meghan. I genuinely thought that (as much as I love our RF), she was the breath of fresh air that it needed to bring it up-to-date. I was overjoyed when they both initially teamed up with Catherine and William to become what we then called the new ''fab 4''. When they made the break from the U.K I was sad but I thought, 'hey, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt'. I was disappointed but could see how they may want their privacy and just be a private family unit together, especially seeing as though they said that was what they both craved so badly, *privacy*. I guess when the tables started to really turn for me was the Oprah interview. Having always been a people watcher. I watched that interview over and over again and I felt the beginnings of a pit inside my stomach. Something was very ''off' about the whole interview. I'm sad to say that my opinion of them both has only gotten worse as time has gone on. I'm not sure what their end game is, their master plan so-to-speak but one thing I feel almost certain of, Harry has absolutely burned every last bridge of hope that existed between himself and his family and that is extremely sad.

Maybe it's more an North American thing, I don't know really. But I feel like unless you are trying to impress someone that doing this is not or more appropriately should not be expected. It's a nice gesture and show that you care a lot which is good. But on the other side. If it was expected of you to act this way then in my mind it's wrong. You went above and beyond. This isn't or shouldn't be what is the normal state of things. I mean there can be exceptions, I would say. If you happen to be of a certain trend very edgy. Punk, Emo, Goth whatever something that most the less-open-minded or very traditional family may find offense to. then it shows a great sense of empathy, awareness, etiquette and decorum for you to take the additional steps of appearing or making an effort to conform to their image of what is acceptable I guess. But why would it be expected that she can't be a bit more dramatic when she is in front of cameras. Most people I know are slightly different if they are at work, or with their significant other, with family or friends. ANd her things about being overly dramatic and eccentric with this feeling we have of her trying to give us the impression that she is relatable. Well there isn't really anything more human than that. Most of us seek companionship and a sense of community. Most of us feel an urge to feel wanted, appreciated and want to belong. As long as she isn't commiting any crime, why do people care so much about Meghan Markle. As long as they are happy together it should be the only thing that people care about.

I love your videos and watch them regularly. Just want to share a little of my experience in working with the Brits as an American. Aside from the cultural differences, body language and gesturing, the biggest surprise to me is that we don't speak the same language. We speak American they speak English. It took me a long time to realize it and then to learn English enough so that when I left the room I had a fair amount of confidence that we both came away with the same understanding of what was said and what was intended. I didn't know that there was a significant difference until I started to facilitate meetings between people from my company and people from British companies. I found that I had started to translate what was being said during these meetings. It was a learning process for me, and it took time to understand what was happening. When I analyzed it, I realized that I did it when I felt uncomfortable in the meeting. Further, after I translated everyone relaxed including me. It was a strange process because I was interrupting. But I noticed that in time, the interruptions were welcomed. When I interrupted people relaxed even before I said anything. There are a multitude of differences and subtleties most of which I was and am not aware of. This was all self-taught. There was no one to teach me; and there was no Internet tondonresearch. There are many things I would love to say, including why Meghan may have walked in with no coaching on how to behave. Out of all of them, the most important and key factor is that we literally do not speak the same language. The minute we walk into the same room, peer to peer, we are not on the same page. The killer is that because so many things are the same, we underestimate the size of the rift.

All I know that as an African American female, if I started dating a man that I know has family ties with Royalty such as Harry. I would find out everything I could to know what to expect, what I should wear, how I should act, how to talk, when to talk. I would do absolutely everything possible to show respect to his family. Especially, if I'm going to be his wife someday. To me that's just common sense. She was a fool to come there with her own agenda, and present herself as the "IT" girl, and do like she wants, when they are Royalty for Pete's sake. Now, that doesn't make me dislike her at all. I truly believe that they love each other, and I'm happy for them. Yet when she went to his family from the very beginning and wasn't accepted as she thought she should, it was her dam fault. So, her next move was to get Harry as far away from his family as possible, making him believe that she was the victim in all of that. Now Harry is estranged from his family, not that he was as close as he would have wanted to be, but he dam sure ain't close now.

That's normal for 20-somethings to wear jeans and be barefoot at home. The royal family wasn't elected. They didn't win a popularity contest. Just like the Kardashians, they didn't do anything to earn a sense of superiority. They're not superior to us. They're not owed any more respect than you or I.
