Kate Middleton didn’t follow typical Royal protocol in front of Donald and Melania Trump during the first day of their UK visit.
The Princess of Wales, who is typically a rule follower in the Royal Family, deviated from tradition slightly when she didn’t curtsy for King Charles and Queen Camila during the official welcome for the U.S. and First Lady’s state visit.

Upon the Trumps arrival to Windsor Castle, they were greeted by Kate and Prince William in a brief exchange that a lip reader decoded, unearthing a comment Trump allegedly made about Kate’s appearance.
Then, the Prince and Princess of Wales walked with the couple to be welcomed by King Charles and Queen Camilla. There, Kate rather curiously did not curtsy for the monarch.
However, this brief break in protocol may be easily explained.
Kate and William were likely with Charles and Camila before walking into the garden to meet the Trumps who arrived via helicopter. We assume Kate may have privately curtsied for the King and Queen so didn’t need to do it again upon reuniting with them after greeting the President and First Lady.
Donald Trump’s UK visit is already being met with criticism from protestors chanting outside of Windsor to backlash over the Royal Family’s hypocritical approach to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. While they’ve gone to great lengths to keep Prince Andrew out of the public eye due to his ties to the convicted sex offender, they have welcomed Trump, another Epstein ally, with open arms.
