\u201cI think a lot of people assume that when you meet the royal family, you\u2019re supposed to bow or curtsy. You don\u2019t,\u201d Harrold told Fox News Digital<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe monarchy\u2019s website states it isn\u2019t required,\u201d he added, noting that \u201cit\u2019s entirely a personal choice.\u201d\u00a0He\u00a0even recalled a moment when King Charles himself discussed it with him directly.<\/p>\n \u201cThe king even had a discussion with me about it. He said, \u2018When you bow or curtsy, you\u2019re doing it to the title. You\u2019re not doing it to the person,\u2019\u201d Harrold said.<\/p>\n Still, despite the optional status, curtsying is very much alive within the royal family and some members fully embrace it.<\/p>\n Just this past year, we saw Princess Eugenie flawlessly curtsy<\/a> to King Charles at St. George\u2019s Chapel during the family\u2019s Easter service. In June, Duchess Sophie nearly lost her shoe<\/a> attempting a particularly deep curtsy to her brother-in-law at the Royal Windsor Flower Show, requiring a quick grip on the king\u2019s arm to keep from toppling over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.purewow.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cI think a lot of people assume that when you meet the royal family, you\u2019re supposed to bow or curtsy.
