That's Diana low...

In the British royal weddings I understand that the new couple bows and curtsey while leaving the church not when arriving, in opposition to the other countries, like Spain or Denmark when the do it arriving.
But I have the impression that Harry and Meghan didn't do at all, I'm wrong?
Thanks. I was thinking that it was not possible they did notYes, just missed it, many did. They curtseyed/bowed when they came back from signing the registrar. Unfortunately the only camera on them when they did, was an aerial shot so it wasn't easy to see.
I am not sure about that but I guess Benelux doesn't have the tradition of curtsying even in wedding? I don't find any video of Maxima and Mathilde.
I assume they must have other shot from other angle and I hope they are editing it and will upload it to the royal family YT channel as they just took down the live video on YT.
Here are some curtsies from other royal brides:
Mette Marit:
Mary:
Victoria:
Madeleine:(another worst angle from the back)
Stephanie: https://youtu.be/rCGIcQhDvH8?t=54m14s (it's more like a bow?)

Sorry but I still don't see the exact moment. For Charles and Diana, Andrew and Sarah, William and Kate the moment was clear, when the married couple started leaving the church. Here not.They all did it at the beginning before they were handed off; who were they curtsying to?

Thanks I managed to "guess" the moment with your help.Immediately after "God Save the Queen" before they start moving for the recessional.
Christopher O'Neill is the husband of Princess Madeleine of Sweden. Upon his marriage to Madeleine, he did not want a royal title or a nobility title. Since he is not Prince Christopher, do the servants and soldiers still bow to him?
Likely not simply because he is an American and would probably tell everybody to dispense with such. Same with Madeleine, I would guess. I would guess for most royalty these days. Can't imagine anyone would be able to retain servants if such an archaic habit was insisted upon.
Queen Elizabeth was once quoted as saying that she had no servants but many members of staff.Actually, I don't think anybody refers to people that are employed by royal households or any household anymore as "servants". The correct term to use is "staff" and they are in their roles as professionals and take pride in the work they do.
A good book to read on this subject would be "Not In Front Of The Corgis" by Brian Hoey. Household staffs have their own hierarchy and ways of doing things. Opened my eyes. [emoji3]
I don't know. There's no official protocol about how he should be treated. He might not be a member of the Royal House but he's a member of the Royal family. A clue should be how other members of the family like Countess Marianne Bernadotte and Thord Magnusson are greeted by the staff.Christopher O'Neill is the husband of Princess Madeleine of Sweden.

We've seen several times both in pictures and on TV how employees at the Royal Palace greet members of the Royal family with curtseys and bowing.Likely not simply because he is an American and would probably tell everybody to dispense with such.
