Morton: Duchess Meghan doesn’t want to curtsey to Princess Kate

The last time the Duchess of Sussex and the Princess of Wales were in the same general area was one year ago, during the ten-day hostage situation around QEII’s funeral. The Windsors imposed themselves on Harry and Meghan and they wanted the world to see them treat Harry and Meghan like sh-t. At various points during the funeral events, Meghan genuinely looked frightened and traumatized, especially on that walkabout with William and Kate. I’m so pleased that Meghan has completely avoided the UK for a full year, and I hope that she manages to ignore and avoid her husband’s family for as long as possible. Instead of focusing on what Meghan has said on the record about what those awful people did to her, Andrew Morton is now saying that Meghan has been avoiding the UK because… she doesn’t want to curtsey to Kate.

The Duchess of Sussex will not want to return to the UK in the future and face curtseying to the Princess of Wales, a royal biographer has suggested. Andrew Morton, who collaborated with Diana, Princess of Wales on his 1992 book Diana: Her True Story, ruled out a move back from the US for Meghan and the Duke of Sussex.

Mr Morton, asked whether he thought the Sussexes would ever come back to Britain, told Sky News’ Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips: ‘What, and have Meghan Markle curtseying to Kate Middleton? I don’t think so. I don’t see that as a runner. They’ve got their own lives in California.’

Royal Highnesses bow and curtsey only to majesties, so Meghan would only have to do so to Kate once the princess becomes Queen.

[From The Daily Mail]

Even Morton shares the collective, delusional projection of the British media. Because titles, curtseying, buttons, royal styles and royal patronages are so important to William and Kate, they assume it must be eating up Harry and Meghan that they are “lower” than W&K. Nevermind that Meghan and Harry have simply left all that behind and they’re living their best California lives now. Meghan was shaking her ass to Beyonce, Harry was super-excited to see Lionel Messi and these people seethe: the reason they won’t come back is because Meghan would have to curtsey to a Karen who smeared Meghan with a racist lie.

    How dare a brown woman not curtsey to her racist abuser, my column:

    • Lorelei says:

      Question for British Celebitches: for argument’s sake, let’s just say that for some reason, the Sussexes do go back and Meghan is in Kate’s presence. What would happen if she just…didn’t curtsy to Kate? She’s an American citizen; she’s not required to.

      I know that obviously KP would be on the phone immediately to some tabloid to trash M over the non-curtsy, but whatever— they find *something* to trash her over every day anyway, even when she hasn’t been seen in months. It’s not like they can haul her off to the Tower of London.

      IMO she should maybe (MAYBE) curtsy to Charles if they’re ever around the family again, or else just not curtsy to any of them. It’s just customary; it’s not like it’s a crime or something. I highly doubt Eugenie ever expected M to curtsy to her (before the wedding).

      I think Meghan always curtsied to the Queen out of respect, but the rest of them? She should never bother, ever again.

      • anotherlily says:

        As Morton explains it would never arise until (or if) Kate becomes Queen when William is King. In theory she would then have the style of Majesty and all the HRH”s and below would be expected to bow or curtsey. However, they can simply choose not to.

        Camilla is now a Majesty but I doubt if every royal curtseys or bows to her. Kate will, at least on public occasions, because Camilla is effectively her boss. Others in the royal family who do not have any official duties, probably don’t.

      • LRB says:

        There is no longer any obligation to curtsey… I would never curtsey to Charlie, Cam, Willi or Kate were I ever to meet them. And I am British… but frankly I don’t like singing our national anthem anymore either. I want to be proud to be British (which I am ) without having to sing about God … any God… saving Charlie boy.

    • LaraK says:

      Why would ANYONE want to curtsey to Kate? That vapid, bland tall drink of room-temperature milk has not done a thing in her life to deserve respect. From anyone.

      I still think the BRF could have been bearable if Meghan had been a lazy, uncharismatic wallflower. If she was happy to just blend into the background. But she EARNS more respect in one day than Kate has managed to do in 12 years.

  2. Anna says:

    Meghan doesn’t care about Kate, she’s hanging out with Beyonce.

    • Eating Popcorn says:

      The two true Queens!

    • Brassy Rebel says:

      I mean, REALLY. This is next level delusional.

      • Wannabefarmer says:

        As I’ve said before, katie telling Meghan ‘you dont know me well enough to talk about my hormones’ (I mean wtaf, its your SiL – but as charlie suggested she wasnt family when he ‘banned her from Balmoral) was her trying to put Meghan in her place. She was prepping for/salivating about the day Meghan would have to bow to her. That distraught look and behavior towards H&M at their final official event was partly seeing her dream dashed, along with realizing, they no longer had a scapegoat and they would no longer be able to hide their laziness with all of H&M’s hard work.

    • Becks1 says:

      RIGHT?? Meghan has moved so far beyond Kate its not even funny.

    • Anon says:

      Not just Beyoncé – Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez (potential Archewell funders?), Kris (greatest that ever played the game?) Jenner, Kim (1/2 our generation’s Marilyn & 1/2 our generation’s Shirley Temple-type: star turning serious woman, Kim while trying to become a lawyer and fighting for those who are wronged), the rest of the Kar-Jenners (they have no true peers, but some of them can probably relate to M&H better than anyone because who else in recent history has grown up on camera and/or been under so much scrutiny and public bullying), Tyler (Billionaire Godfather) Perry, every other A-lister at Queen Bey’s birthday concert, others important to the Hollywood ecosystem, etc., So yes, if you’re keeping score, that’s Meghan with a Mic drop 🎤 having a crazy fun night in good company vs BRF never looking like they’re having very much fun or in particularly good company but definitely looking like they’d stuck with trying to justify a failing, prejudiced (against EVERYONE not related to them) system. A system so ridiculously hypocritical they didn’t want the Queen’s sister to marry the love of her life who was divorced and didn’t want the Queen’s children to get divorced and acted like it was scandalous that Meghan (in addition to being an American, Black actress, oh my!) was divorced, yet their King could decide to split off from Catholicism to “found” a whole church because he didn’t want to have to a bike by the Catholic rules against divorce? And the “royal” family is supposedly “royal” and above everyone else because the god of that church says so? Puh-leeze.

  3. goofpuff says:

    I wouldn’t want to curtesy to Kate or anyone either. They aren’t my monarch. And since Meghan is an American, she doesn’t have to do that either. Good thing they never completed her British citizenship.

    • Brassy Rebel says:

      Another bullet dodged!

    • Chaine says:

      This!!! she doesn’t have to pay any homage to foreign royalty, and her American citizen children don’t either!

      • ThatsNotOkay says:

        Given all that, I imagine it’s another reason why THEY don’t want her to come back to England. Because they cannot force her or her kids to bow to anybody. Check and mate.

    • notasugarhere says:

      No one, other than members of the BRF in their weird private rules, are required to curtsy to members of the BRF. Not even required to curtsy to the monarch.

      • NotTheOne says:

        This. These are self-created, embiggening rules that don’t relate to anyone anywhere. They’ve done absolutely nothing to earn respect.

    • Becks1 says:

      This is the other thing…..I doubt Meghan would ever curtsy to Kate because….she doesn’t have to. I mean she curtseyed to QEII out of respect for Harry and the royal “protocols” and expectations and bc she was new to the family and all of that. no way in hell is she curtsying to Kate, in private or public. And she doesn’t have to.

      I mean, its 2023. What happens if someone doesn’t curtsy to the monarch or whoever? They get sent to the tower?

      • Lorelei says:

        @Becks, I should have read your comment before I typed my own because I just asked the same exact thing 😣

        I will NEVER learn to read all of the comments first!!

    • H says:

      Thank you. As an American we fought a war to kick the British out so we don’t have to curtsey to anyone. It has nothing to do with Meghan wanting to avoid Kate. If I went to Britain I wouldn’t curtsey to Kate either.

  4. lanne says:

    It’s telling–the only purpose these folks seem to have in their lives is to see a black woman bow down to a white woman. It’s the only straw they have left to grasp. The entire royal media industry has showed it’s blinding white, decrepit, racist ass to the world, and is shocked to the core when the rest of the world saws “eww–who wants to see that?” Curtseying? Good grief. If the Wales had any shame, I’d be embarrassed for them. I would NOT want those idiots speaking up for me. But those dying vestiges of old hierarchal racist order is all the Wales have left to cling to, while the Sussexes go on living their best lives in the 21st century.

  5. Harla A Brazen Hussy says:

    Meghan’s American she doesn’t have to curtesy to anyone, least of all those who spread lies about her.

    • Bettyrose says:

      Right? What even is this article. Meghan is not obligated to engage in archaic royal traditions. Non royal Brits don’t curtsey either. This game of hierarchies exists only in their minds.

  6. Snuffles says:

    After the visual feast of this weekend I officially no longer give a shit about this royal family pettiness.

    It’s all just Meghan!!! And https://media.tenor.com/ZN7xGsB1Cy8AAAAC/shocking-beyonce.gif

  7. HeatherC says:

    She doesn’t have to do anything. And I’m petty enough to hope she never does, that the curtsy she did at EII’s casket was her last curtsy.

    • Anna says:

      Listen, I don’t care about any of this made up royal protocol, but Meghan’s final curtsey at the funeral service was absolute PERFECTION; the pose, the grace🤌🏼

      • Wannabefarmer says:

        Absolute perfection indeed. That was her last act of showing deep respect the only one in that ‘family’ who clearly (dare I say loved or at least cared for) her and Harry. Did anyone notice katie’s 1/2 second, barely bent her knee cutsy?

      • Bettyrose says:

        Meghan is a quick study and trained actress. She’s not some inbred aristo. She absolutely 100% would have been able to adapt to their protocols, mastered them. That’s probably part of what scared them about her. Outsiders are expected to be meek and intimidated. But it’s not her world any more and she doesn’t have to curtsey to anyone.

      • Nic919 says:

        That was a moment and that photo has been seen over and over again because it captured the essence of the moment. It was a goodbye in many ways.

  8. s808 says:

    They’re desperate to see M curtesy to that loser and they’re sick cause now that’s she’s gone, there’s a real chance it’ll never happen. So yeah, they see every time M rightfully gives that island the back of her head as avoidance of giving them what they want and desperately need.

  9. Jan says:

    Every day it is a new excuse, why Meghan is not coming back to England. What the BM don’t understand is Meghan is not Fergie, when she reach her limit all bets are off.

  10. Amy Bee says:

    Eff Andrew Morton and the rest of the British press. I hope she never goes back to the UK.

    • Lorelei says:

      I was so caught up in the curtsying BS that I forgot to mention that of course M has about one million other valid reasons not to be around these people ever again, and they don’t have to do with curtsying OR with Kate.

      Morton is talking out of his ass here— Meghan has been done with Kate for years, but A for effort to Morton for trying to make it sound like M gives one single fck about Kate.

  11. TheOriginalMia says:

    These people are ridiculous. Meghan doesn’t want to come back. That family doesn’t like her or her children. Why in the world would she subject herself to Kate or any of them? Newsflash: Meghan knows her worth and doesn’t need the BRF to make her feel good about herself.

  12. Lovely says:

    If he keeps this up, I’m gonna burn his book! AFAIK, he was plucked from obscurity by Diana, he’s nothing without that book.
    I keep getting a sneaky feeling that Harry had a huge inheritance from his grandparents… I kinda remember it as tradition, to leave money to the spare, since the heir will inherit land. I think maybe in France the spare was always a richer than most duke.
    So maybe that’s the problem, that they inherited large amounts and the old lot is jealous… after all, it’s all about the suitcases with them.
    Bonus, inheriting means Meghan is richer, hopefully, than most! Cue in BF/BM racism!

    • Amy Bee says:

      Unfortunately I think that’s a myth. Harry didn’t get any money from the Queen Mother and I doubt he inherited anything from the Queen and her husband. To avoid inheritance tax, the monarch leaves everything to the heir.

      • Wannabefarmer says:

        I thought there were trust funds for her (Queen mother) grandchildren? But then it was reported she was also in debt?

        Anyway, it is truly a sick, classist, elitist, ripe for abuse system. Imagine passing everything to the first born while the ‘spare’ does all the work and gets nothing.

      • anotherlily says:

        Harry has something in the region of £30 million inherited money. This may have come entirely from Diana’s legacy, which was invested and managed for him. This is his basic security and he will want to pass it on to his children rather than spend it. This is why he was anxious to find ways of earning a substantial income. Without the support from his father he needed to fund security and provide for his family.

  13. Jais says:

    It’s not even about curtsying. Kate brings nothing but bad vibes and negative energy. Who would want to be around that?

  14. The reason they won’t come back is 1. You wanted them gone and abused her 24/7 ( and still do). 2. She isn’t coming back because she dumped you just like you wanted. Now move along and do something with the leftovers that are expiring at a rapid rate.

  15. Eurydice says:

    Technically, does anybody have to curtsey to Kate? I thought that would only be required once Kate becomes Queen.

    • CQ says:

      Right, what would they do? Arrest her for not bowing down? So ludicrous.

    • Ace says:

      I don’t think anyone has to even to the King? I live in a country with a monarchy and bowing/curtseying is absolutely not mandatory. The BRF is always the most extra but I remember other people saying it’s the same in the UK.

      If you think about it, it would be wild that in a democracy you were forced to bow/curtsey to a random dude/dudette who believe themselves to be ordained by god or whoever.

    • Nic919 says:

      I don’t think Kate ever curtseyed to Charles and Camilla prior to Charles being king. Plus she’s really bad at it.

      • Lorelei says:

        The BRF has definitely tried the hardest to convince people that curtsying is an important thing, but it actually is not, at all. William is such an arrogant prick that he probably doesn’t bow to anyone, now that his grandmother passed away.

    • anotherlily says:

      Yes and this is what Morton explains.

      Camilla as the wife of the King shares his status. In theory everyone
      including other royals should bow or curtsey to her.

    • Tessa says:

      I would not curtsey to Kate if she gets to be queen consort. Meghan is under no obligation to curtsey to her.

  16. Brit says:

    These people are traumatized. Harry and Meghan willfully leaving, being successful and ignoring them outside of lawsuits has truly driven them over the edge. I really to believe this has broken some commentators and royalists and they’ve just gone completely insane.

    • MsIam says:

      Its Sussexes Derangement Syndrome. They’ll just have to make do with Keen cheering wildly at rugby while wearing silver sequins. Maybe she’ll shake her @ss while she’s cheering. Front page news!

    • kelleybelle says:

      They SO desperately wanted to be the rejectors and instead they’re the rejected. And they will never get over it, the abusive bastards.

  17. Blithe says:

    Sooooo, I guess the money shot for the RR will have to be closeups of Kate groveling and curtsying to Camilla then.

    As @Anna noted, Meghan’s last curtsy to TheRealQueen TM was indeed absolute PERFECTION.

  18. Harper says:

    What a lazy comment from Andrew Morton. Burger King and Kate famously didn’t even curtsy to Camilla! Meghan did her last curtsy at the Queen’s funeral and you Brits will never get another one out of her again.

  19. kelleybelle says:

    B-U-L-L-S-H-*-T

  20. Cali says:

    I think Morton was making a sort of joke. Like why would Meghan come back and get mired again in all the protocol—faux or otherwise?
    Neither she nor Harry would accrue any benefit from being slapped around all over again by the royal Family and the British media.

    • windyriver says:

      That was my take too, he was being facetious. “They’ve got their own lives in CA now, why would they want to come back here?”

    • Eurydice says:

      Yes, I read it as sarcasm and the “curtsey to Kate” as a shortcut for saying “ridiculous protocol to people who don’t want you.”

      • QuiteContrary says:

        Same. Especially as he noted — truthfully — “they have their own lives in California.”

        (The “so, suck it” was silent.)

    • Iolanthe says:

      Andrew Mortons comment was more tongue in cheek than critical..I do agree that he wasn’t making any digs . Like why on earth would she return at all , cursey be damned, when she has a perfectly nice life far from all this nonsense.

  21. Cel2495 says:

    Lol seriously?

    Meg doesn’t give a fig about this Karen neither she has to bow to anyone. She left that toxic family years ago and they still obsessed with her.

  22. dido says:

    After seeing Meghan living her own life and enjoying what makes HER happy, the ancient british royals look sooooooooo crusty by comparison. imagine being obsessed with titles and curtsying in 2023! Bless Beyonce and Meghan’s circle of Californian friends

    • Scooby Gang says:

      “Imagine being obsessed with titles and curtsying in 2023!”

      EXACTLY!!

      They are ridiculous fools.

  23. aquarius64 says:

    The Current Titleholder of Princess of Wales has done nothing to merit respect, especially letting a lie stand for two years she was busted on Oprah and in Spare. It’s like Kate doesn’t want to be embarrassed by the prospect of Meghan not curtesying to Kate.

    • Lorelei says:

      @Aquarius, your last sentence— THAT is the issue. It’s about Kate wanting/needing Meghan to curtsy to her, knowing that she won’t, and Kate will be left humiliated but instead would act haughty about it and the entire family and BM would heap the blame on M.
      But it’s really about Kate’s insecurity.

  24. Ace says:

    I’d like Meghan to never have to face any of those people if she never wants to, but if it ever happens I’ll get all my popcorn ready for the British press&palace trash people to lose it completely when she *doesn’t* curtsy to Kan’t and Won’t.

    Anyway, Meghan can live her life not having to cursty to anyone because monarchies are outdated and ridiculous and nobody in the world has to do anything as stupid as curtsy or bow to anyone in any of those self-deluded families.

  25. Well Wisher says:

    Maybe Morton is insinuating that since Meghan chose to not be traumatised by Kate, she has checked out of the customs assigned to the royal family and not just the made up ones like what colour of nail polish to wear……

  26. Laura D says:

    Well I’m a Brit and I’m paying for all those wiglets and buttons and guess what? I wouldn’t curtsey to Kate either. She has done absolutely nothing to deserve that level of respect and acknowledgement. All she’s done is hung around for 10 years to get the ring and then sat on her backside and coined it in! In all honesty I would have curtsied to the REAL Queen, because I would have felt uncomfortable not to do so. However, she’s gone and the “mystique” of the monarchy went with her. Kate has tried numerous times to get the “wow” effect and yet none of her efforts have come anywhere near as the “OMG” moment when we all saw QEII greet James Bond (Daniel Craig) at the Olympic Ceremony.

    Morton conveniently forgets that “Overseas” fought a war in order for Americans not to have to curtsey/bow to a British monarch. Kate isn’t even of royal blood, she’s a married-in who could lose her title(s) on the whim of her husband. Meghan’s problem with Kate wouldn’t be about curtseying. It’s more likely to be about the abominable way the future Queen treats her whenever she’s in the country. I will NEVER forget those pictures of the Witches of Windsor using the death of the real Queen to show the world how they like to isolate the “bi-racial American.” If people like Morton really believe Meghan’s problem with the BRF is curtseying, then (to paraphrase Harry) “there really is no help for them.”

    • EBS says:

      Agreed 100%, Laura D. And the other thing I really liked about the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony was that Danny Boyle turned down the knighthood he was offered following it.

    • BQM says:

      Even more than the Bond bit, I loved the queen cameoing in Harry’s video prior to the inaugural invictus games. Just a grandma helping out. “Boom. Really?”

  27. Vanessa says:

    The British tabloids are refusing to taken any sort of responsibility in their behavior with the help and blessing of the royal family they target Meghan . In the most racist vile disgusting way they delights in seeing Meghan down and scary they helped drive Meghan to suicidal thoughts while pregnant. Now the press is trying to pretend that they have no clue as to why Meghan won’t come back to the U.K and now they are trying to make seem like it because Meghan don’t want to curtsy to Kate . The Royal reporters don’t want to admit to their own racist vile behavior they would rather come up with nonsense they admit that they backed the wrong people.

  28. Mel says:

    Americans don’t have to curtsy or bow to anyone. I don’t believe she went through with her citizenship so she and her kids are American, they get to upright and look you right in your beady little eyes.

  29. Mary Pester says:

    If I were Megan, I would curtsey to Kate, just so I could head but her in the chin on my way back up (watch those fillers jingle and the botox boom 😂😂

    • Nick G says:

      😂 Good one Mary 🤭

    • Gabby says:

      And maybe Meghan can put little notes on top of her hat for KKKate to read during the curtsey:

      “Bitch, do MORE”

      “Where does your husband sleep?”

      “What part of Baby Brain didn’t you understand?”

      “My children came out with beautifully colored skin but thanks for your concern you racist twat”.

  30. Susie says:

    Curtsying is important not just to will and Kate but the entire aristo/ upper & middle classes in Britain. It’s why they project so much on to Meghan. They just can’t fathom someone who doesn’t care about curtsies or hierarchy cuz that’s ALL they care about. That was Carole and Kates dream. So it MUST be Meghan’s dream. The second she chose to leave is the moment the British royals and media ceased to understand anything about Meghan and her motivations cuz they would never ever think to make the same choice.

    • MsIam says:

      It also shows that while they never understood Meghan, she understands them perfectly. She knows exactly what they want from her and she won’t give them a single crumb. Kick ’em in the balls Meghan!

    • EBS says:

      I promise you, curtsying is not important to the vast majority of Brits, including the middle classes. Carole and Kate are outliers and delusional. I dare say most people would have curtsied to the late Queen out of respect, but it is really not at all important.

  31. Wannabefarmer says:

    Meghan WILL go back to the UK, just not to that den of vipers/cujos (my new descriptor for them). (I dont know what they will do about funerals (Edward does not look well), I guess they will go but now they know the drill of how they will be treated, they can make a plan to avoid that.

  32. girl_ninja says:

    Morton seems to be trying to maintain relevancy using Meghan’s name. What a disappointment he’s turned out to be. Wanker.

  33. murphy says:

    Man Kate must really hate all these pictures of herself, under eye bags galore next to Megan who’s skin is flawless.

  34. Khate's Mourning Wig says:

    Sigh this is some tired old musty dusty rusty crusty ashy trashy “news.”

  35. Kingston says:

    LMAO
    What hubris!
    These people really and truly believe that its still the 19th century and britain still “rule the waves,” huh? Like…..’royalty’ are still the ones who determine what reality is and the rest of us are just supposed to suck it up and go along with their ‘say-so’, huh?

    That old m0rt0n fellow is, of course, still living on the fumes of the days when poor Princess Diana needed his help in getting her story out so he prolly believes his say-so has some weight.

    Well heres the thing: Kitty will be cowmilla’s successor [and thats only if she manages to survive whats coming down the pike for her.] LOL And the very first time M met cowmilla, H told her she didnt have to curtsy to her. [See ‘SPARE’] So kitty and her cabal should use that as a hint for whats in store for her.

  36. B says:

    There’s a reasonable chance that everything that comes out of these British Royal commentators mouths is wrong.

    But, for this particularly…..

    Duh.

  37. Saucy&Sassy says:

    When I read that, I thought it was a metaphor for royal life. I don’t think he was actually saying anything about a curtsy.

  38. Belli says:

    They really are obsessed with Meghan performing subservience to Kate.

  39. Jan says:

    Meghan makes me laugh, taking Archie to see Bishop Tutu, giving Oprah the interview, having an American black Bishop read the sermon at their wedding, the list goes on.

    • aftershocks says:

      @Jan, FYI– Harry & Meghan had asked Archbishop Welby to marry them and to give the wedding address. It was actually Welby’s idea to ask Bishop Curry to give the address (not supposed to have been a sermon) because of Curry’s position as head of the Episcopalian Church of America (Episcopal religion in America is kindred to Anglican religion in UK). Welby also said he’d heard that Curry was “a dynamic speaker.” 😉 Neither Welby nor M&H had ever met Curry in person prior to the day of the royal wedding.

      Apparently, Welby may have figured since Bad Dad was raised Episcopalian, that some kind of connection was being made in that aspect. NOT! Meghan was raised Protestant. Her maternal grandfather was a Baptist minister. And, in any case, Bad Dad obviously has not been a practicing Episcopalian since childhood.

  40. Mrs.Krabapple says:

    We Americans don’t “have” to curtsey to anyone, and certainly not to a woman who has done nothing to earn anyone’s respect.

  41. LyZe says:

    After watching the feast of all Meghan and Harry feasts delivered over the last week I am completely shut down about the RF. They just look so old and sad and miserably out of date. I would love to stop hearing about them at all and that includes all the desperate media that are sounding more and more foolishly out of step.

    • L4Frimaire says:

      They’ll try to denigrate her by using Hollywood and celebrity but the thing is they can’t bring up anything legitimate in comparison. They can’t use the royals work ethic or commitment to public service or the people, when they shirk the most basic of duties or just phone it i, constantly complain to the tabloids and parade around with pedo Andy. The only reason they’re even going to the rugby thing is because Harry attending the football match with Messi seemed to have given them a bit of motivation.

  42. L4Frimaire says:

    This is such a juvenile and frankly disturbing take. Once again trying to shift blame onto Meghan. Why should she curtsey to this woman? She hasn’t earned respect. Those people, Kate included, caused serious harm to Meghan, had a very deliberate role in the breakdown of her relationship with her father, continue to smear her and treat her and her kids like sh*t, and revoked their security and residence. But somehow they make this about some petty BS to make the usual haters feel sorry for Kate. Morton is a pos.

    • Tessa says:

      Kate has done nothing to earn any respect as far as I’m concerned. If Kate expects curtseys.it makes her look bad.

    The classes in journalism in the UK must focus heavily on being able to simultaneously lie with a straight and crooked face at the same time, creating extreme delusions on a whim and being able to make huge exaggerations on what a perfect stranger thinks or feels, because that is all any of these people have been able to do.

    Meghan is not required to curtsey to Kate . Harry is not required to do so either.

  45. Aline says:

    Didn’t Harry and Meghan fought for their children’s titles?
    They do absolutely care for titles.

    • L4Frimaire says:

      They care for the titles because the BRF try so wrongly to deny what is rightfully theirs. This isn’t about status or marketing, but the fact that as soon as Meghan became pregnant, suddenly Prince Harry’s children were no longer worthy of being recognized as Royals because their mother is Black/biracial. This was way before the Sussexes left. They can bleat on all they want about working vs.non working but that’s the crux of the matter.

      Fought? They never fought, they just called them what there are.

    • Tamsin says:

      They fought for their children’s rights.

    As an American citizen she is NOT required to curtsey to anyone, least of all, Kate.

  47. Vic says:

    I am a Brit and would never curtsey, not that I will ever meet any of them, so why should Meghan? I am guessing she found all that crap ridiculous and she’s not wrong.

  48. Cate says:

    I’m American and I honestly can’t see myself curtsying to anyone in that family (or anyone at all, really). Maybe a little half bow or something, but that would be my limit. So I can’t say I blame Meghan for not wanting to (if this story is even true), especially given how they put her through the wringer. But somehow I suspect that’s not the only reason M wouldn’t want to come back, like…. aren’t their UK security arrangements still somewhat up in the air and unresolved???? That seems to me to be THE big reason. I’d bet if they are able to get a satisfactory security arrangement in place Meghan and the kids would accompany Harry to the UK periodically, for charity events or to visit his friends (or maybe to go to a concert and get loved up and spontaneously dance, that would be hilarious).

    Sigh. The DM spinning shit out of nothing as usual. So this guy was asked (he was asked people, he didn’t specifically go out and make this statement) if the Sussexes would come back to the UK and he says something to the effect of why would they choose to bow and scrape to Kate and William when they have their own lives in California? (I agree with previous posters that he wasn’t talking literally about curtseying), and now DM has spun it as “Expert says Meghan would not come back because she doesn’t want to curtsey to Kate!” And now outrage follows on both sides. How dare she not curtsey! Why should she curtsey she is American! Lol I’m tired.
    Discourse around the royals is so dumbed down, on purpose by the tabloids. They know what they are doing. Do we also have to be so literal about everything?
    PS: You don’t have to be American to not curtsey to the royals! Like regular British citizens can also skip it, and many do when meeting the royals.

    Hello all, long time reader, rare comentor 😊 I saw what he said as a dig to Kkkhate… as in, he uses her commoner name and therefore implies why would MM bow to a commoner? As in Meghan bowing is beneath her. Which it is. Maybe I’m wrong but for me this is another one of those subtle shades we’ve see RR/ experts throw at the RF lately. And I’m all for it!

    Andrew Morton is the Royal biographer equivalent of the football player who caught a great pass once and still gets his drinks bought for him in his hometown bar. I met him on his tour around his newest round of drinks, The Queen. First, he does not like Harry – he said hot head who can get in a fight even if he is the only person in the room (this was before Spare) Secondly his anecdotes are all third party at this point including the one about the Queen meeting a tourist and taking a picture for them. He just rehashes stuff that others have written.

  52. roooth says:

    Anyone who wonders about bowing to Kate only needs to find the pic of Sir David Attenborough attempting to bow to Kate. He’s old, not in great shape, and struggling to bow. But the kicker is the expression on Kate’s face. She has a superior smirk while he struggles, as if this is her due, and she’s enjoying watching his discomfort. Kate just can’t hide what a bitch she is.

    Personally, I am thrilled that Archie & Lili will be raised without that crap being bred into them as children. No way will Meghan allow her American children to bow & curtsy to the sick side of the family. We’re Americans, we don’t curtsy or bow unless we want to, and Meghan will never want that for her children.

  53. Katya says:

    Queen Elizabeth stopped all that curtsying when Fergie and Sophie came into the family. The family members don’t bow and curtsy to anyone but the sovereign.

    Despite what the Brits think that includes Meghan.
