This is a direct insult and an extremely demeaning act toward Kate Middleton. She, the commoner, married Prince William, the Royal, and both, on their wedding day, were given the titles "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge" by the Queen herself. Prince William is still second in line to the throne--he did not lose his precedence because he married Kate. I have my doubts that this story is correct; however, if it is, methinks the Royals doth protest too much! </p>Judy Tye commented on 'Kate is given her royal curtsy orders'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef017615d34620970c2012-06-26T04:15:16Z2012-06-26T12:41:45ZJudy TyeIs this a joke?

Never in my life would I curtsy or bow to acknowledge that I was a lesser person than someone else simply because of my birth. What kind of stupid person would do this? Why do we continue to tolerate monarchies, much less this demeaning, senseless practice? No one on this planet should be made to feel inferior to anyone else, for any reason.</p>Phil commented on 'Kate is given her royal curtsy orders'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef017742b6144d970d2012-06-25T21:30:50Z2012-06-25T22:56:41ZPhilAbout as archaic and misogynistic a custom as burqa wearing women.

<p>Royal Highnesses do not curtsey/bow to other Royal Highnesses, only to Sovereigns and other Sovereigns, or The Queen Mother were she alive.</p>
<p>Precedence refers to seating at an event or arrivals or departures. It has nothing to do with curtseying. The Duchess of Cambridge will not be curtseying to her mother-in-law, her brothers or sisters-in-law. Only to The Queen.</p>
