They may be her husband's aunt and uncle, but Princess Letizia knows that this will be expected.

I have a question. Why do some royal ladies hold on to both arms of the person they are curtseying to and other royal ladies just gently grasp the hand of the person they are curtseying to and do a quick (but reverent) dip? Is one a less formal way of doing it than the other? Or does it all depend upon the royal court & person doing it? Just curious and thanks in advance!

I think it may have something to do with the way they are originally greeted. Sometimes it is because they have hugged first, then they curtsey while still still half in the embrace. For example, there were photos of Princess Victoria of Sweden curtseying to Queen Sonia of Norway that showed the arm holding position. When you looked at the video you could see that it was because they had embraced first and were still hugging when Victoria gave a quick curtsey.

What are the protocols for a curtsey? Do the royals (and others) only curtsey at official functions or when in public but not at informal gatherings.

I was wondering if there are any photos of Charlene Wittstock curtseying? I don't think she has done so yet but she has met members of the Spanish Royal Family and the Dutch Royal Family at the Olympics and Princess Haya of Dubai. Is it because it was a more informal event that they only greet with a kiss and a hug?

Sorry for all the questions. Thanks
