Bowing and Curtseying

[sarahedwards2]

Lately I’ve been seeing YouTube videos about how Camilla can’t curtsy properly and they’re so shallow. It’s because she’s 77 and has arthritis and hip problems and maybe osteoporosis. How can they not see that?

As Queen of England, there are very few people on the out rank Camilla to the point where she has to worry about her curtsy.

Maybe the sniping commentary is from her time as Duchess of Cornwall?

Who would Camilla have to curtsy to other than the king perhaps?

This was from before the coronation, but people also complained that her curtsy to the king during the coronation was shallow.

Curtsies look better in skirts.

I suppose that curtsying with a crown on her head might not be that easy, especially at her age. Crowns are notoriously heavy objects. The late Queen Elizabeth II even mentioned once that she had to take extra caution when reading the Queen's speeech not to tilt her head too far or else she risked breaking her neck.
