Meghan Markle trashed by Sky News host Rita Panahi as Duchess ‘mocks’ meeting with The Queen

Rita Panahi has ripped into Meghan Markle after she appeared to mock her own efforts at following royal protocol when she first met the Queen.

The Herald Sun columnist and Sky News pundit slammed the Duchess of Sussex as she made the comments in her six-part Netflix docuseries ‘Harry and Meghan’.

Meghan compared the first encounter with Her Majesty to a lowbrow themed dinner at America’s ‘Medieval Times’ and repeated the deep curtsey she gave The Queen.

Panahi immediately blasted Meghan for the re-enactment and Prince Harry as he awkwardly sat beside his wife while she performed the gesture

Panahi immediately blasted Meghan for the re-enactment and Prince Harry as he awkwardly sat beside his wife while she performed the gesture. 

‘What a pitiful milquetoast he is,’ Panahi wrote on Facebook. 

‘Sitting there and grinning like an idiot as she mocks his grandmother, country and its traditions.’ 

Panahi wrote in another post on Twitter: ‘He’ll come to regret abandoning his family, country & duty.’

She slammed Meghan for acting surprised she would have to give a deep curtsey to The Queen despite her previous knowledge of the Royal Family. 

‘Woman who was obsessed with Princess Di & royals (according to her childhood friends) shocked that meeting the Queen is a big deal & you have to curtsy. Cool story, bro,’ she wrote in another post on Twitter. 

Panahi has previously been critical of the Sussexes accusing them of being ‘woke grifters’ in an opinion piece for The Herald Sun. 

‘Harry has gone from being a beloved member of the royal family to a figure of derision,’ she wrote.

‘He has abandoned and attacked his family and filled the Queen’s final years with unnecessary stress and angst. 

‘It’s clear he wants all the privileges of being a royal without any of the duty.’ 

Meghan met the Queen for the first time during a lunch at the Royal Lodge in Windsor, shortly after her and the Duke revealed they were dating, in 2016.

But she said the whole occasion felt like an antiquated banquet at Medieval Times, a family dinner theater in the US featuring staged medieval-style games, sword-fighting, and jousting.

The Queen was the first senior member of the Royal Family that Meghan met after she and Prince Harry announced their relationship in 2016.

‘She had no idea what it all consisted of,’ Harry tells the docu-series, as he sits with his arm around his wife. ‘So it was a bit of a shock to the system for her.’

Grinning, Meghan added: ‘I mean. it’s surreal. There wasn’t like some big moment of “Now you’re gonna meet my grandmother”.

‘I didn’t know I was going to meet her until moments before. We were in the car and we were going to the Royal Lodge for lunch, and he [Harry] was like, “Oh, my grandmother is here, she’s gonna be there after church.”.

‘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 Duke continued: ‘How do you explain that to people? How do you explain that you bow to your grandmother? And that you would need to curtsy, especially to an American. That’s weird.’
