Kate Middleton’s Curtsy Is Important To Royal History
The princess spent many years working on her curtsy, a gesture historically performed by every family member to show respect to those of a higher royal rank. Male royal family members bow their heads as a sign of respect.
According to the royal family’s website, non-royals don’t have to bow or curtsy to a member of the royal family, but many people do as a show of respect.
“There are no obligatory codes of [behavior] when meeting The Queen or a member of the Royal Family, but many people wish to observe the traditional forms,” the website explains.
Chris Ship shared a video of Kate Middleton’s elegant curtsy on X. Fans loved seeing Kate Middleton back to her royal duties looking healthy and fit.
One person commented, “Lovely to see a beautiful and regal Princess of Wales, we are so lucky to have her.”
The December 3 state visit garnered much attention, People reported. More than 900 soldiers welcomed guests at Horse Guards. Kate took part in the carriage procession to Buckingham Palace in the Australian State Coach with William following the king, the Amir, and his wife in the Irish State Coach.
People reported that Kate would not attend the royal banquet hosted by the king, but Prince William and Queen Camilla planned to attend.
