Doesn't it depend on whose country the princesses are in? E.g. in Denmark, the Dutch, Spanish, British, Swedish, Norwegian, etc. queens would defer to the Queen of Denmark, although monarchs do not curtsy to each other. I think that Crown Princesses do, but I might be wrong. In which country was Mette-Marit when she curtsied to the Duchess?Marengo said:I don´t think protocol requires Maxima (or any other crownprincess) to curtsy to the Duchess of Cornwall. I remember that Mette-Marit did curtsy, which was considered rather odd and considered as a sign of respect for the years that the duchess is her senior. It was most certainly not required by protocol.
