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

I would curtsy for the Queen, Camilla and Zara. A nod of the head for Charles and a wink for Harry. The rest of them are beneath me

babybythesea · 22/05/2018 23:25

She hasn't actually insisted on it, has she? If not, it's a fuss about nothing.
Just because she can do something, doesn't mean she will. I'm not a royalist (forgot the wedding was on and asked someone "What wedding?" on Saturday morning when they mentioned it) but I think it's a bit OTT to get carried away being all indignant that of course you won't curtsy when no one has even been asked to.

Wdigin2this · 22/05/2018 23:25

Well, as I'm highly unlikely to ever meet her, it's not something I give a lot of thought to!

@Japanesejazz

I would boob flash Fergie. Just the left though.

spontaneousgiventime · 22/05/2018 23:26

Curtsy? I wouldn't curtsy to anyone, not even the Queen. They are no better than I am, why should I?

noeffingidea · 22/05/2018 23:27

Nah I wouldn't curtsey to anyone. Its not feudal times anymore.

SevenStones · 22/05/2018 23:28

They are no better than I am, why should I?

It's bizarre isn't it?

SenecaFalls · 22/05/2018 23:29

I'm American. Happily, protocol is that we aren't expected to curtsy to anyone.

RedDwarves · 22/05/2018 23:29

I wouldn't curtsy to anyone. I'm not a pleb.

huha · 22/05/2018 23:30

Absolutely not.

Puffycat · 22/05/2018 23:30

I’m a witch, witches bow.........

EdWinchester · 22/05/2018 23:31

Not to any time of them. I’m embarrassed for anyone that does.

LucilleBluth · 22/05/2018 23:31

babybythesea, no one is getting carried away, no one has said that she's insisted. It's just a theoretical question. MM is the first celebrity to be high up in the RF, we usually see celebrities at premieres and what not curtsy to the RF, it's just an interesting premise.

Fergie is lovely. Met her a few times. No way would she expect or want you to curtsy! Suspect she would lol if you exposed a boob

expatinscotland · 22/05/2018 23:32

I wouldn't call anyone 'Your Grace' or 'His Highness' or any of that other shite, either.

Tessliketrees · 22/05/2018 23:34

@Japanesejazz

Oh indeed it would be a respectful boob flash. The lefts the best one.

I know other people who have met Fergie (in a working capacity) and all say she is lovely.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 22/05/2018 23:34

Someone asked on a thread a while back about curtsying to Beatrice and Eugenie. I haven’t stopped laughing yet!
Not a hope in hell...
I would bow my head to the Queen because I think she has done a pretty good job and she is the reigning monarch. That’s it.

GabsAlot · 22/05/2018 23:35

i like the rf but no-and i dont think she'd be that bothered either

RedDwarves · 22/05/2018 23:35

I would boob flash Fergie. Just the left though. Grin

findingmyfeet12 · 22/05/2018 23:36

It'll be a cold day in hell the day I curtsy to anyone or show any deference for an inherited title.

I'm embarrassed for those that curtsy too.

TooManyPaws · 22/05/2018 23:41

I remember curtsying to Princess Alice of Gloucester when she visited my school but I was only ten and we were rigorously drilled in it.

I could do the full court one down to the floor with straight back but I think I'd need a crane now to get me up again. I've never had to use it in reality, only to show people that I could do it 😄

SequinsOnEverything · 22/05/2018 23:41

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?

Well you never know do you, maybe she'll be sneaking off to asda and ikea all the time 😁😁

Tessliketrees · 22/05/2018 23:42

Indeed, I always bow to everybody who I think has done a good job.

Although the bin men did say they would prefer a Christmas tip.

Fishface77 · 22/05/2018 23:43

I think I’d curtsy to tom hardy, channing Tatum and the Rock too.

Fishface77 · 22/05/2018 23:43

Wouldn’t curtsy to gwyneth Paltrow though, she makes my ears itch.
