Chris Evert’s fans are not happy with her response
Recently, the tennis legend Chris Evert took to her social media account to share her view on watching Meghan Markle describing her idea of bowing down before meeting the queen for the first time. In the clip, the Duchess of Sussex mocks herself as she didn’t know much about the curtsy before she ever met the royal family.
Not cool…..
This is just nasty and unbecoming. Meghan looks like a school bully. x.com/CountessCommon…
With the video, the 18-time Grand Slam champion wrote, “Not cool…..” for laughing over her first curtsy story from the time, she was getting ready to meet Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Harry’s Grandmother for the first time. However, her fans are not happy with her comment and slammed her for not getting the real background of the story.
Some fans asked her to watch the whole episode. A fan wrote, “I have so much respect for you Chrissie. Please don’t fall for this. Watch the whole episode and then if you think is not cool, let’s agree to disagree.” Another fan wrote, “If you watch it in context you will know that she’s taking the piss out of herself.”
I have so much respect for you Chrissie. Please don’t fall for this. Watch the whole episode and then if you think is not cool, let’s agree to disagree.
If you watch it in context you will know that she’s taking the piss out of herself.
While some fans attempted to enlighten her with the clip. Fans wrote, “Did you watch the whole clip? She’s laughing about how she didn’t know how to curtsy”, “Love you, Chrissie, but Markle is just making fun of herself because she didn’t know how to curtsy. This is taken out of context,”, and “What are you saying is not cool? She was talking about how she didn’t know how to curtsy and had to be coached.”
Love you, Chrissie, but Markle is just making fun of herself because she didn’t know how to curtsie. This is taken out of context.
What are you saying is not cool? She was talking about how she didn't know how to curtsy and had to be coached.
Additionally, some explained the Duchess of Sussex’s side of the story. A fan wrote, “As I understood it Meghan was mocking herself as she had been given no advice on how to curtsy much like Liz Truss. The issue is stacked on two sides. One looking for any reason to make her look bad.”
Come on Chris! This clip is totally taken out of context. Meghan was being self-deprecating about her lack of curtsy skills, nothing disrespectful to the queen. Maybe it’s time, though, to retire the whole antiquated curtsy tradition. It’s 2022 after all
Here are some more comments that flooded the tennis legend’s comment section.
I felt the same way, but it wasn't as negative when you don't take it out of context where it def comes across as cynical.
It looked to me like she was laughing at herself.
Chris, Meghan was making fun of herself for an over exuberant curtesy when she met the Queen for the first time. Please don’t fall for the misrepresentation.
Chris, you should actually understand what you're reacting to before you ignorantly espouse silly assumptions that make you look foolish.
If you watch it in context you will know that she’s taking the piss out of herself.
