I think women should stop curtseying. Men don't curtsey. What's wrong with a handshake?

A royal biographer , forgotten his name, was given time to speak to Anne , whilst they were talking Anne took a phone call, she answered and did a bob, then had a quick exchange of words, it was her mother on the phone ?

There certainly are some crazy rules regarding curtseys and bowing to the Royals.

Apparently Meghan has to curtsey to Andrews daughters if she is on her own, yet when she is with Harry, they have to curtsey to her!

Interestingly our dentist is, I think Iranian. Whenever he greets me, and when I leave he puts his hands together and bows his head to me. A lovely gesture.

The crazy rules for the royals are for themselves only , not for the public , thank heaven
