If you were to be introduced to the Royals, how would you feel about bowing (if you're a bloke) or curtseying (if you're a lass) to them? I wouldn't mind too much if it was The Queen as I feel she's earned respect, but I don't hold most of the rest in great esteem. As for Kate and Meghan, they're basically commoners who Wills and Harry happened to fancy, so why should anyone now and scrape to them? That's my opinion anyway. What's yours?
I've only ever bowed in karate and judo, when you both do. I would never curtsey for royalty or anyone else. If that's what they insisted on, they just wouldn't get to meet me... :-)
When I met The Duke of Edinburgh in 1968, I sort of half bowed. It was a factory visit. He came over and asked what I was making. Fascia panels for the Triumph 2000, I told him. He just said "Very good." And walked on.
I've met several of them, I don't bow, they are people, just like anyone else. I treat them the same as I treat everyone. i.e. as I would like them to treat me.
don't imagine I would to any other Royals.. queen..philip..Charles... yes.. respect for the crown..but for HM too , I think she is a marvellous person... I often felt like slipping in a wee note to her in her boxes of deeds and commissions I wrote !!
