re: #195 yma o hyd

Even Brits are not ‘obliged’ to curtsey.
Cherie Blair, wife of Tony, never did.
Her head is still attached to her body …

So WAB won’t be ‘forced’ to curtsey.

Curtseying is simply a polite way of greeting the longest-reigning monarch in Europe, and a lady who will be 83 this year.

But you can’t force people to be polite and show manners.

Didn’t know Cherie never curtsied. E2 is her Queen.

I remember a major dust-up when Edward married Wallis and he wanted everyone to curtsey, but the Royal Family was against that because she was not considered royal.
