Princess Catherine Curtsies to King and Queen Consort at Christmas Carol Concert

Princess Catherine of Wales organized the much-anticipated Together at Christmas carol concert, which took place on Thursday night at Westminster Abbey.

The event, attended by a number of royals, including the King and his wife, was filmed for airing on ITV on December 24th.

As the royals arrived at the Abbey, cameras captured the heartwarming moment when Catherine curtsied to the King and Queen Consort in public for the first time since Charles III ascended the throne.

Dressed in a stylish burgundy coat by Eponine London, the Princess approached the King and greeted him with a kiss on each cheek before gracefully curtsying.

Other members of the royal family, such as the Countess of Wessex, Princess Beatrice, Edoardo Mapelli Mosi, Princess Eugenie, Jack Brooksbank, and Michael Zara Tyndall, also attended the event to show their support for Catherine.

To everyone's surprise, Prince William and two of their three children, Prince George IX and Princess Charlotte VII, made a surprise appearance at the service.

In a shared footage from the service, the King warmly greeted his daughter-in-law Catherine, who beamed at him while giving him kisses on both cheeks.

Catherine then proceeded to curtsy to the King, affectionately rubbing his arm.

She extended a similar familiar greeting to Camilla, who appeared overjoyed to be attending the event.

Charles, too, greeted his grandchildren, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, with kisses on their cheeks.

Viewers watching the event were moved by the display of respect and wrote heartfelt comments expressing their admiration.

One viewer remarked, “Lovely to see this event and the due respect paid to the King and Queen.

I am pleased they were there to support our Princess of Wales.”

Another commented, “She curtsies to them with elegance and confidence but no fuss, as always.

An example to everyone.”

A third viewer wrote, “That actually choked me up a little bit.

Catherine is the epitome of grace and loyalty.

How lucky is William?”

The overwhelming sentiment was that Catherine's respectful gesture was deserving of praise and that she would make a wonderful future Queen.

Professional body language expert Judy James analyzed Catherine's curtsy to the King and Queen Consort for the UK's Express.

James praised Catherine's perfect curtsy, describing it as “two small but significant bobs” as she welcomed the royal couple to her carol concert.

According to James, the gestures of unity displayed at the carol service highlighted the close bond within the family.

The expert also noted a similar level of warmth between Queen Camilla and Princess Catherine, observing that Camilla's hands were placed on Catherine's shoulders during their greeting.

King Charles appeared proud and affectionate towards his two eldest grandchildren at the Together at Christmas carol concert.

James commented on the sweet kisses Charles exchanged with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, noting that George reciprocated the affection by clutching his grandfather's arm and that Charlotte eagerly extended both hands as Charles leaned down to kiss her.

The body language expert also observed warm greetings between William and Charles, suggesting that their interactions conveyed genuine warmth and even elicited a wry smile from Charles.
