With all this talk about curtsying (spelling?), I was curious to understand the protocols.
I can across this in the news “When I was researching my biography of King Charles, I discovered his female staff were running a competition to see who could perform the deepest curtsey without falling over. A former girlfriend of his also confided that protocol demanded she curtsey to him, leading one evening to a clash of heads when he mistimed an attempt to kiss her.”
so does Camilla have to bow to Charles and Kate to Wills? Or when they become wives they no longer need to do it?
