I wouldn't curtsy to ant of them tbh. She is apparently allowed to insist on this now.

I wouldn’t. But only because it’d take me weeks to recover. I think she’s lovely, I don’t see the big deal

Anybody is allowed to insist on it.

I always insist on being curtsied to but hardly anybody does it.

Cheeky fucks.

I wouldn't curtsy to anyone especially a Royal.

No, why would you? What have any of them done to earn that?

Oh FGS, so what if she 'insists' on it, you wouldn't be thrown in the stocks if you didn't.

I am hoping this Meghan-specific hate isn't entrenched in racism or sexism, as people don't seem to bother to be annoyed by the many many royals who came along before Meghan

I wouldn't curtsy to anybody so no.

See you in the Tower.

She can't insist on it. What's she gonna do if you don't? Send you to Traitor's Gate?

Not to any of them. I'm with Esme Weatherwax. I don't curtsy.

I can though. Ballet. I can do a mean one. I just won't.

She can insist on it all she wants (I doubt she would). I wouldn’t curtsy to anyone under any circumstances.

No, wouldn’t curtsey to anyone unless I wanted to entertain them with a comedy fall.

I curtseyed to a new boss once. So yeah, I probably would.

I like the royals. I wouldn't curtsy and I'd bet my last dollar Meghan wouldn't expect anyone to do it either.

No. Mainly because it’s a horrible word, and an embarrassing gesture.

No, but I wouldn't curtsy to the Queen either. I'd do the polite head bob thingy when I shook hands.

However, I suspect I'm not due to be seeing any of them any time soon so it's not a major cause for concern Grin

I doubt she has any desire for people to curtsy to her, but I imagine a lot of people just do it automatically, that nervousness about ‘getting it right’ when the royal on the other really doesn’t mind at all.

No. I probably would to the Queen, because she's old and it seems polite to hmour her. And I'd do a sort of half-way bob thing to Prince Charles so that no one was embarrassed, but not to anyone of my own generation or younger, and I'd think they needed to get a grip if they were offended.

Jesus Christ. So now Meghan is INSISTING on people bowing to her/curtsying ... Don't talk rubbish, of course she isn't! But she is a duchess now, (whether you like or not,) and most people will bloody curtsy. I doubt YOU will even ever meet her so don't worry yer wee head! Hmm

Is anyone else now convinced curtsy isn't really a word. It feels odd in my brain now. Curtsy curtsy curtsy...

I also wouldn't curtsy to anyone. I doubt any of them would actually insist on it, that would be terrible PR!

Despite being a royalist (because I think its better ultimately than a republic), I'd curtsey to no bugger!

I’d only curtesy to the Queen and that’s because she’s an old lady and the Queen.

I doubt any royal “insists” on a curtesy.
