I was watching the BBC news online and they kept switching camera views; I didn't see Andrew bow either, but I'm positive he did.

I cannot believe that he didn't but I also think he had one eye on the coffin and the other on his wife who looked ashen and about to crash . . . instead she found that iron will of hers and pulled off an absolutely amazing respectful and loving deep curtsey.
While I couldn't see Sophie, I saw her legs, and dress so I think she gave her best for a loved MIL with her dress touching the ground. Her children, Lady Louise and James Viscount Severn both did Edward and Sophie proud.

Crown Princess Victoria is Swedish, not Dutch. Also the Dutch royals adhere to royal protocol when abroad and accept it from foreign royals in the Netherlands.

Don't know if it was here or at Netty's that I read (before I stopped posting in the Forum in 2007/2008) that Prince Charles and Princess Diana had to curtsy Monaco's Princes Rainier and Grace because they were royals and head of a state but Caroline had to curtsy to them for being heirs/Princes of Wales.

Mary is already preparing her curtsy (see the movement with her left leg) while greeting Camilla with kisses on her cheeks.

But the Monaco royals are only His/Her Serene Highnesses.
