If you didn’t know that, every member of the royal family needs to bow and curtsy to the queen. That’s a way of showing your respect to the queen, and it doesn’t matter if she is your mother, grandmother or great-grandmother. Men need to bow to the queen, and women need to curtsy to the queen. It doesn’t matter if you are young you still need to do that. For example, Prince George needs to bow to his great-grandmother. But does Princess Charlotte, his sister, needs to curtsy to the queen?
There are strict rules about the royal etiquette, and according to those rules, Princess Charlotte doesn’t need to curtsy to the queen. Not yet. That’s because she is very young. And in a couple of years, when she turns five years, she will have to start showing her respect to her great-grandmother. Her brother Prince George started bowing to the queen just before he turned five years, so maybe Princess Charlotte will also start showing he respect a little sooner. But she doesn’t have to, because young princes and princesses don’t have to practice that part of etiquette before their fifth birthday.
And according to the royal etiquette, these young members of the royal family don’t need to bow or curtsy to other members of the royal family. They only need to do that to the ruling member of the royal family, the sovereign. So, one day when their grandfather becomes the king they will need to bow and curtsy to him, and to their father, Prince William, once he becomes the king. Also, one day when Prince George becomes the king, his sister Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will need to bow and curtsy to him, it doesn’t matter that he is their brother.
