Is it the proper thing for the person/people being bowed/curtseyed to to bow back. You can see the monarchs doing that in the video.Josefine said:here is Crown Princess Victoria and daniel going up to the ater.
Esmerelda said:Yes, why is Tatiana curtseying? I remember seeing a clip at Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden's wedding where the guests were eating the cake and Tatiana curtseyed to both Victoria and Daniel. Victoria outranks her but I don't think Daniel and Michael do.
His wife curtesied to the King of Greece so maybe it has something to do with Michael's mother being a Greek Princess?
In this YouTube video of the Queen's relaxing, about 1.30 minutes in, it appears that Queen Beatrix is curtseying to Queen Elizabeth. It may not be Beatrix, of course, but it very much looks like her.

Look like Queen Beatrix, but it isn't her...In this YouTube video... it appears that Queen Beatrix is curtseying to Queen Elizabeth. It may not be Beatrix, of course, but it very much looks like her.I could stand to be corrected, however.
I think I've read that one of the Spanish Infantas (either Elena or Cristina, not Letizia) refused to curtsy first to a deposed monarch, one of the Italian or German ones, I think. Anyone who could shed light whether this act was disrespectful?Princes and princesses always curtsey or bow to a monarch, reigning or deposed.
again it's a confusing mess... because it always depends on who is in the room at the time but as I understand it, The Countess of Wessex will always have to curtsey to Catherine since Catherine is married to 2nd in line of the throne and Prince Edward is currently 7th. However, Catherine would have to curtsey to Prince Edward and by default the Countess of Wessex if in the same and by herself without Prince William since Prince Edward is royal born and outranks Catherine.The Order of Precedence applies here, right?...
Do they curtsey to their uncle Constantine of Greece. If they do and if that's true, it's hypocritical.
