Meghan’s playful reenactment of the curtsy—described as exaggerated and accompanied by a giggle as she said, "Pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty"—was highlighted as a key moment in the docuseries. However, body language experts noted that Harry appeared uncomfortable, with one suggesting that he was "red with anger" and showing signs of frustration or even contempt during Meghan's re-enactment. This scene has sparked some speculation about Harry's feelings towards the moment and his reaction to Meghan's playful portrayal of the curtsy.

As they were driving to the meeting, Harry reminded her to curtsy, but Meghan initially thought he was joking. The moment became memorable when Meghan reenacted her first meeting with the Queen in an exaggerated and playful manner, performing an extended curtsy and giggling, saying, "Pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty." The scene, with the camera focusing on Harry, suggested his discomfort with the lighthearted re-enactment, which some interpreted as a sign of tension between the couple.

Body language expert Jesús Enrique Rosas analyzed Prince Harry's reaction during Meghan's reenactment of her first curtsy to the late Queen Elizabeth in the Netflix docuseries. Rosas observed that Harry seemed serious, even though Meghan was speaking quickly and joyfully. He noted a lack of connection or empathy in Harry’s expression, suggesting that he appeared possibly angry.

Rosas pointed out that Harry displayed subtle signs of discomfort, such as swallowing, which he interpreted as a sign of hidden frustration. The expert suggested that Harry's reaction was more than just embarrassment or nervousness; it could indicate a deeper emotional response, with the serious demeanor and body language hinting at covert anger.

The body language expert, Jesús Enrique Rosas, further analyzed Prince Harry's reaction to Meghan's exaggerated curtsy, suggesting that Harry displayed signs of "contempt." Rosas pointed out that Harry's face flushed with redness, especially on his cheeks, bridge of the nose, and temples, which could indicate that he was feeling either ashamed or angry. However, the expert leaned towards the latter, interpreting this as a sign of "covert anger."

Rosas explained that if Harry had been ashamed, he would likely have smiled or shown nervous laughter. Instead, his serious expression, the visible tension in his jaw, and his immediate gaze away from Meghan indicated that he was upset or frustrated, but trying to keep his emotions hidden. This reaction was seen as subtle yet telling, showcasing Harry's discomfort with the moment.

The body language expert, Jesús Enrique Rosas, concluded his analysis by emphasizing Harry's apparent frustration. He suggested that Harry knew what was coming and could not tolerate the situation. Rosas pointed to Harry's initial serious expression and the subtle swallowing motion he made just before Meghan performed the exaggerated curtsy. This, according to the expert, indicated that Harry was already feeling uncomfortable and frustrated before the moment even unfolded. His body language suggested he was bracing for what Meghan would do, which added to his apparent distress.

Recent reports suggest that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are experiencing a professional separation, which has sparked rumors about potential tension in their relationship. While the couple, now residing in California, has not been seen together for some time, there are growing concerns that their work relationship may be "in a very bad state."

Despite these speculations, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are still expected to attend the 2025 Invictus Games in Canada, scheduled for February 8–16. This marks the first time the event will take place after the 2023 Invictus Games in Germany. Meghan had previously hinted that their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, may make an appearance at the event.
