British Royal Etiquette: Rules for Curtsying and Bowing
Royal etiquette dictates specific gestures of respect when greeting members of the British monarchy. According to traditional protocols, women are expected to perform a curtsy, while men perform a bow.
During the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, various family members adhered to these customs. Female royals such as Camilla Parker-Bowles, Princess Kate, and Princess Eugenie of York were observed curtsying to the late Queen. In contrast, male relatives including Prince Harry and Prince Edward utilized a formal bow.
These rules of courtly manners apply within the royal family itself; for instance, Meghan Markle is required to curtsy to her sister-in-law, Princess Kate.
