Princess Lilibet comes of age: Here the one royal rule she must follow regardless

Now five years old, Princess Lilibet has entered the age bracket where she will have to ensure she carries out one royal rule, without fail.

This began around the time of her 5th birthday that happened on June 4, 2026 and is something that carries through despite her being raised in the US, away from her royal relatives.

The entire thing has also been explained by royal expert Marlene Eilers Koenig and she delivered this titbit to HELLO!

According to her certainly by age five. The only person they will curtsy or bow to is the sovereign. A royal highness does not curtsy to another royal highness. Yes, there are articles that state this, but it is not true.”

“Curtseying and bowing is etiquette, nothing to do with precedence. You bow or curtsy the first time you see the sovereign and then again when you leave.”

“At Christmas at church, we saw the Cambridges and Prince Harry and Meghan curtsy and bow when the Queen arrived and left. Other royals, including Charles, did not because they had come from Sandringham and had already seen the Queen.”

The same would be the case for Lili when she meets her grandfather and according to Myka Meier of Beaumont Etiquette, etiquette training begins “as soon as they're old enough to sit at a table.”

She even told People, “they are raised having formal meals, going to formal events and practicing everything from voice levels to dressing appropriately.”
