Now, she’s getting ready to trade in her homecoming royalty title for the real thing. In May, she’ll marry Britain’s Prince Harry, and you can bet that her new title will come with actual gems.
On the way to royalty
Markle and Prince Harry have been touring the United Kingdom ahead of the royal wedding, making public appearances together to the delight of everyone following their story. Their most recent stop, on Thursday, was in Wales, where they visited a 2,000-year-old castle.
While there, not only did the couple get to see the historic site but they marked another milestone in Markle’s introduction into her newly royal life: she received her first curtsy.
People magazine noted that a woman curtsied to Markle while introducing her and Prince Harry to the castle and was the first to bestow the honor onto Markle.

The curtsy is a sign of respect and deference to royalty, and as Markle is about to join the royal family, she’ll have to get used to seeing it around.
While public displays like curtsying is a new experience for Markle, she has already had plenty of practice to perfect her own. She reportedly curtsied to her soon-to-be grandmother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth last month on Christmas Day, bowing her head in respect.
Like any modern bride, Markle has reportedly been extremely hands-on throughout the wedding planning process for her May 19 nuptials. Word on the street is she has already settled on her wedding dress designer and has weighed in on the menu for her big day at Windsor Castle.
