The Duchess of Sussex also shared a nice story about a 2018 outing she and the Queen went on together, in which the Queen offered to share her blanket with Meghan to keep her warm. Despite not understanding how to curtsy, the Duchess of Sussex spoke positively about her first encounter with the Queen when she and Harry were dating. She thought that curtsying was what happens outside as that was part of the fanfare. She did not think that was what happened inside and she told Harry, ‘But it’s your grandmother.’ To which he said, 'It’s the queen’. And Meghan said, ‘that was the first moment that the penny dropped’.
