'I Was Pimp Slapped By The Queen': Actor Recalls That Time Meghan Markle Smacked Him In 2012 Scene
Meghan Markle can’t escape her past as an actress. The former Suits star is set to marry Prince Harry next month.
Meghan Markle Gets Physical
While Markle has hung up her life in Hollywood for good, one actor reminded fans of how far she’s come. Christian Keyes opened up about a film, Dysfunctional Friends, that he and Markle starred in together back in 2012. He joked about a scene in which Markle had to smack him.
“I was pimp slapped by the queen!” said Keyes.
In the infamous scene, Markle was a photographer and Keyes described his character as a “black Zoolander.” In Markle’s defense, Keyes, who will star in BET’s legal drama In Contempt, said she warned him that she could “improve an extra smack.” Keyes said he told Markle he didn’t mind at all.
“I knew she was going to put a little hand on it,” added Keyes. “She had some torque and rotation in the wrist.”
He went on to say that Markle was fun with to work on set as the film was one of her first acting jobs.
Keyes said a friend sent him a clip of Markle smacking him just after it was announced that she was engaged to Prince Harry.
“You know you got smacked by the future Queen, right?” Keyes said his friend asked.
What Her Body Language With Harry Really Says
While she won’t officially be the queen when she marries into the royal family, she will be titled the Princess of the United Kingdom. It might be safe to say Markle won’t be as physical with her future husband, Prince Harry. A body language expert, Elizabeth Kuhnke, explained what the couple really communicates when it comes to their physical connection.
She pointed out that Markle often lets Prince Harry take the lead and looks to him for guidance. She added Markle is much more comfortable with Prince Harry compared to her first husband, Trevor Engelson. Markle filed for divorce from Engelson in 2013. They were married for two years.
Interestingly enough, Kuhnke said Markle’s body language with Prince Harry not only shows their attraction to one another but also reveals their sexual chemistry. Kuhnke said Engelson’s smile was often “forced” while Markle’s body language with Prince Harry is more “intimate.”
She added that while Prince Harry’s movements are typically on the strong side, they are also “secure and sexual.”
Kuhnke noted that Markle and Prince Harry’s connection seems to be more genuine than her romance with Engelson.
Prince Harry and Markle will wed on May 19.
