Everyone can relax: as it turns out, Meghan Markle did curtsy to Queen Elizabeth at the royal wedding. Phew! Now the haters can put that in their pipes and smoke it!

On Saturday, Twitter exploded with rage (or, you know, was a bit miffed) because Meghan Markle's curtsy to the Queen wasn't readily obvious in the wedding footage.

Some questioned whether the couple needed to curtsy on their own wedding day (erm, yes... you always curtsy to Her Majesty) and others seemed to think that Meghan and Harry, who has literally been following royal protocol since the day he was born, just decided to switch things up on a day when billions of people would be watching them.

Thankfully, the Royal Wedding was not a day for rebellion, and the newlyweds did in fact bow and curtsy for the head of state. However, the movement got somewhat cut off on the TV live stream, and we missed it.

Never fear, Meghan Markle was an even more perfect bride than previously imagined.

You can even see the tail end of the curtsy in the video below - go to 1:03:00 and keep watching for a few seconds.

See! Meghan curtseyed to the queen and all is right in the world. What a day! What a wedding!
