Royal Family cursty rules laid bare by American countess

The Royal Family curtsy etiquette is lauded bare by an American countess.

The US-born Countess of Sandwich turned to her TikTok account this week to share what goes behind the perfect curtsy.

“Royal etiquette has its roots in the medieval court, when every movement around the monarch signified loyalty and rank,” Julie Montagu revealed.

“How deeply you bowed, where you stood, and even how you approached the throne all reflected your place in the hierarchy”

She added that “etiquette became less about fear of the monarch, and more about expressing respect.”

Julie then revealed that Christy became a “social choreography that held society together.”

“Traditionally, men perform a neck bow—just a gentle nod of the head, not dipping your head into your chest,” she guides in the video.

“When in doubt, just a warm smile and a polite greeting are perfectly appropriate when you meet a royal,” Julie added.
