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

I love when racists tell you they aren't being racist as if we are supposed to accept the word of a racist.

I like Meghan but I'd rather not curtesy but if it was requirement then I would exactly like if it was the Queen or any other senior royal.

Why thanks @MilkTwoSugarsThanks

It's fairly sexist that women are expected to curtsy TBH. Racist? Possibly for some. I actually quite like her and Harry. Still wouldn't curtsy to either of them.

I will to MilkTwoSugarsThanks though. Exception made.

Nothing racist about it...if he had married Gwyneth Paltrow one could say the same. It's an interesting topic. Bow to celebrity, bow to royalty.

According to who, given that the Queen doesn’t insist on it?

I once had dinner with a Duchess at a charity/work do. Everyone else at the table called her Your Grace. I called her Sasha. She didn't seem to mind.

I'd give Prince Philip a high five. That's about it.

I love our Royal Family.

...but I wouldn’t curtsy for any of them, the Queen purportedly doesn’t care! She & Philip would have been the only ones I’d have considered it for, any of the ones younger than that can forget it.

Why would you? I met Princess Anne a couple of times years ago (horsey stuff), and it never even occurred to me to curtsy. Same goes for the rest of the RF. They are just people, who owe their status to an accident of birth.

The order of precedence was apparently changed because Princess Anne refused to curtsey to Camilla so if it’s good enough for Anne it’s good enough for me. Wasn’t there similar thread for ’Waity Katie’ when she married?

I wouldn't curtsey to anyone.

Although I do wonder why this question is being asked specifically about Meghan.

I met a royal and we politely shook hands, it was a formal occasion and a dignified gesture and acknowledgment.

Nope. Not to Megan, Harry, William, Kate, the Queen or any of the RF for that matter.

I think I would just wait, if she curtsied first then it would only be polite to curtsy back.

Sequins - where do you imagine you might casually bump into MM other than at a formal event? Asda whoopsies? Ikea nursery section? Matalan underwear dept? 😆
