Princess Catherine’s Classy Curtsy to King Charles and Queen Camilla Leaves Fans in Awe
Princess Catherine wowed fans with her royal etiquette and years of training as she performed a classy curtsy to King Charles and Queen Camilla, leaving everyone in awe.
The Princess of Wales, accompanied by Prince William, welcomed the President of South Korea, Yong Suk-yol, and his wife, First Lady Kim Kyeon-hee, to the UK for their state visit.
The royals, dressed in their finest attire, made their way from their hotel to Whitehall and then to Horse Guards Parade in London, where they were given a ceremonial welcome.
Prince William took the lead, guiding President Yong Suk-yol to shake hands with King Charles.
He then bowed his head to greet the Monarch and Queen Camilla before taking his place.
As Princess Catherine walked up the stairs behind Prince William, she stopped at the top and gracefully curtsied to King Charles and Queen Camilla, accompanied by a warm smile, before joining the group.
This moment drove fans crazy with excitement.
It is customary for members of the royal family to bow or curtsy to the Monarch upon their first meeting of the day.
This suggests that it was the first time that day Princess Catherine had seen her father-in-law.
Just as public citizens may choose to do when meeting a royal, it is common to see family members showing respect while greeting each other.
Men traditionally bow their heads, while women curtsy.
Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth last year, her eldest son, King Charles, ascended to the throne alongside his wife, Queen Camilla.
All members of the royal family, including Princess Catherine, bow or curtsy to the Monarch and his wife when greeting them for the first time in a while.
This tradition extends to their children as well.
Later that evening, King Charles and Queen Camilla made a grand entrance at the South Korean State Banquet.
The event was attended by 170 guests, including Prince William and Princess Catherine, Princess Anne, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.
Queen Camilla wore the late Queen Elizabeth I's Burmese ruby tiara for the first time, paired with a stunning red velvet Fiona Clare gown.
Princess Catherine showcased a new tiara from the royal vaults, the Strathmore Rose Tiara, along with the late Queen Mother's diamond pendant earrings.
She looked radiant in a white Jenny Packham gown adorned with gold embroidery, complemented by matching arm gloves.
The Princess also proudly displayed the Elizabeth II Royal Family Order and the Grand Cross Victorian Order sash and star.
Adding to the excitement of the evening, K-pop royalty Blackpink graced the event.
King Charles acknowledged the band's four members, Jisoo, Lisa, Jenny, and Rose, in his speech, commending them for using their platform to raise awareness about environmental issues.
The King's speech included Korean phrases and references to K-pop culture, delighting the audience, which included members of the world's biggest girl band.
More than 300 state banquet attendees, including Blackpink, were impressed by the King's warm welcome.
He applauded the band for their role as ambassadors for the UK's presidency of COP26 and their advocacy for the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
In a lighthearted moment, King Charles even jokingly mentioned his visit to Seoul in 1992 with the late Princess Diana, admitting that he may not have fully embraced what is known as the “Gangnam Style.”
Princess Catherine's elegant curtsy and the grandeur of the South Korean State Banquet captivated audiences worldwide.
The royal family continues to showcase their grace, style, and commitment to important causes, leaving a lasting impression on all who witness their regal presence.
