Why a Curtsy Still Matters: The History and Meaning Behind Royal Protocol at State Visits
A curtsy takes about a second. The hands stay still, the head inclines, one foot slides behind the other and the knees bend — and in that second, a piece of Etiquette older than the modern monarchy itself is performed in front of the world’s cameras.
