In 1995 when she visited Japan, Princess Diana curtseyed to the Emperor and Empress.
Princess Alexandra curtseys to Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko before the state banquet:

Off topic but that is one glorious dress. The color is mesmerizing! Plus the exquisite tiara.
Funny how opinions differ. I first liked the dress when she was curtseying to the emperor and empress but when she was seated at the table the dress in combination with the 'jacket' made her look really wide; doing exactly the opposite of what a dress should do to her figure. I really liked her look when they first were received by the imperial couple.
That first, formal real curtsy will be as Meghan and Harry leave the altar as man and wife and both formally bow and curtsy to HM, The Queen.
I bet Meghan practices it over and over again while wearing her wedding dress until "that" moment arrives.
I'm pretty sure she has the curtsey thing down since she's met the Queen already.
But that was done privately not in view of millions! However I was speaking more to the rules that govern when to curtesy to whom within the family. If Harry's present she has higher status if he's not she has lower status etc.

I don't honestly think that Meghan being American will figure into it at all whether or not she curtsies to the Queen or anyone else. If and when she does, it will be done solely out of deep respect and admiration for the position that HM holds and will be done solely because she *wants* to.
If Meghan can be so aware of other people that she freely offers up her own hand warmer to a stranger, I would be my last candy cane that she would be very aware of the positions and the roles and the respect that should be given to HM, The Queen and each and every other royal that is going to be part and parcel of her family.

I’m wondering when the media will understand that members of the royal family don’t curtsy to each other?
When did they stop that Dman.?
I very much thought they still did. (Especially in private get togethers.)
