Royal followers are now asking if Meghan Markle did or did not curtsey before the Queen after the wedding ceremony?
Royal brides before her had observed the protocol.
Princess Anne's Wedding to Mark Philipps, November 1973
Prince Charles' Wedding to Lady Diana Spencer, July 1981
Prince Andrew's Wedding to Sarah Ferguson, July 1986
Prince Edward's Wedding to Sophie Rhys-Jones, June 1999
Prince William's Wedding to Catherine Elizabeth Middleton, April 2011
Prince Harry's Wedding to Rachel Meghan Markle, May 2018
Did she or didn't she?
It seems like THEY didn't.
Please see full video of the wedding at this link: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a20765894/meghan-markle-did-curtsy-to-the-queen-royal-wedding/
Take note of the following time stamps where video is focused on the newly wed couple:
1) 1:01:42 to 1:01:51
2) 1:02:05 to 1:02:29
3) 1:02:53 to 1:03:03 where Prince Harry bowed his head.
The camera panned in aerial view at 1:03:03 to 1:03:10. Noticeable are the couple's bowing of heads but not very sure on his wife's movements that will allude curtseying to Queen Elizabeth.
At 1:03:11 to 1:03:20 the couple started walking to the center and passed by HRH Queen Elizabeth with Prince Harry glancing with a slight nod to his family and his wife casting a swift glance thereafter.
At 1:03:21 until 1:03:25, the couple passed by the Queen, Prince Philip can be seen leaning towards the Queen and muttering something, with Prince William in thoughtful and slight disbelief of what has just transpired.
Could this be the reason that the Queen ordered that she undergo a 6-month training on protocol and etiquette with the Queen's trusted aide Samantha Cohen?

Surely, the photographer behind the couple can enlighten everyone.
