Bowing and Curtseying


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
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?
 
Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway curtsies to her King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.

Curtsies look better in skirts.
 
This was from before the coronation, but people also complained that her curtsy to the king during the coronation was shallow.
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.
 
Yesterday in Denmark , not a lot of Curtseys . Most of the Guests were young Ladies
 
Prince Philippos of Greece has visited the UAE. While meeting the Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah he bowed.
I could not understand. A Royal Highness bows to another Highness ? Not clear for me. The Sheikh is a Head of State but he is not a King. Would Philippos bow to Prince Albert of Monaco or Grand Duc of Luxembourg ? I don't think so.
Any clue?

You answered your own question. the sheik is a head of state. A highness only bows to another highness if the other is a head of state. yes, Philippos would have to bow to prince Albert of Monaco or Grand Duke of Luxembourg.

Did Pavlos bow to other heads of states at the funeral? At the funeral he was the host, head of the Greek Royal Family, having taken over the role from his father the king, so a very different occasion and role.

Of course he did. He bowed to his cousin King Felipe, Queen Margrete, King Wilhelm Alexander, King Philippe etc. He bowed to all Kings and Queens who attended the funeral. But he didn't bow to GD Henri.
