Surprisingly, Ferguson's statement seemingly suggested that she had not met Markle until they spoke to each other at Queen Elizabeth's funeral.

Markle said this in her and Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey, according to Daily Mail:
Prince Harry also shared the same story in his memoir Spare. According to him, when Markle was about to meet his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, he asked the Suits star if she knew how to curtsy.
