In the case of someone whose name I will not say, she has no idea what those two words mean. As class, she never had it, never will. Now Catherine our beautiful Princess Of Wales, she oozes it. That smile of hers lights up the whole world, I got so emotional seeing her at the tennis tournament, she was absolutely stunning. Had it been the other one showing those shark teeth, one would have heard the theme from jaws. I've said that a few times, but each time she does that Rictus grin that is all I hear. She always manages to hone in right where the camera is, never misses a beat. They give me the shivers, the eyes are the windows to your soul and I wonder if she has one.
Well, if true seems William thinks they should be done away with. Bowing is a sign of respect and trying to destroy others having respect for other people isn't going to end up well. Look at the Markles to see what happens when you are constantly told you are the equal of others and others should respect you as a result, didn't turn out very well for either of them (in fact it ruined them, and both parents should be ashamed though one is gone and I don't think the other realises he's to blame even now) and William needs to look hard at his brother and sister-in-law and see where that attitude leads.
I love seeing the Royals being animated. To show they are human also. As for the bowing and curtsying, I think it is a sign of respect for the Royals and people should keep doing it. The Royals work hard, and bowing or curtsying just would show that people appreciate what they do.
A Canadian here, I believe that the tradition of the bow and curtsy should be maintained for any formal event, but optional otherwise. Much like rising when a judge enters a court room, it is a sign of respect.
Often men simply nod their head rather than bow from the hips. For women, a curtsy, originally designed for women in long, flowing skirts, can be awkward if not done correctly or if the person is elderly, weak or is wearing the wrong attire (tight skirt, pants, etc.). I think woman either bowing or curtsying is sufficiently modern; yet respectful.
American here. Since we don't curtsey over here, I think bowing/curtseying to royalty is all part of the allure. If William doesn't want to "push the matter", I am fine with it. But he should not correct or stop anyone when they do. As it's been said, once you ban something, you can't start it back up again later.
@@1964mtm actually he could as a condition of employment where if the employees were unwilling to do so.. they don't get the job or they lose the job. thats a naive comment.
I have actually seen video of the Queen showing feelings and even glee at sporting events. Of course horsing events where she had flesh in the game, but I recall a certain Braemar games where she got quite excited. She knew to have a stiff upper lip when it was needed, she did not lead with her heart on her sleeve, good leaders dont. William has been tested many times and has shown he can do this. I have no real feelings about the curtsy thing, but then I’m from Canada, however I trust the Prince will find the right balance. The Queen was very wise and let’s not forget she trained him herself. I am certain he discussed these ideas with her over the years, and with his father. Trust him.
When a post is made about something Prince William has done. Catherine gets a little mention as his wife. When Megan does something it's always Megan and Prince Harry. When he isn't remotely involved
It's showing respect ... it's tradition ... AND it's part of the mystique. If you transition into "no difference", then what's the appeal?? Good manners and respect should _NOT_ go out of style. Preserve the protocol. There is too much "everyday" and not enough SPECIAL in this world already.
Exactly - it's all part of the pomp and ceremony that goes into making the British Monarchy something that people travel miles to see. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water!
@user-or4fe2sk3v Agreed, and "modern" now seems synonymous with wiping everything away. They aren't "modernizing" anything if they remove it altogether and don't replace it with something else or better in its stead.

Many many years ago I met Queen Juliana of the Netherlands and did a traditional bow as I would and did to any member of the British Royal Family, Queen Juliana very politely said no no young man it is not necessary to bow to me and laughed it off, it made me feel uncomfortable, sticking to a traditional protocol is best all round.
For !! Because, although it seems old fashioned, it is a sign of respect. AND it's ROYALTY !!! It is something special and an indication that they are, not better than others. But, just a bit different. Tradition should not be thrown out because it's a little uncomfortable or even a little antiquated. It is a sign of respect and tradition.
The Japanese bow out of the respect. Some countries rub noses. The Maoris perform the aka. Native American Indians have their rituals & ceremonies & traditions and chiefs etc. We have ours & bowing & curtsying our part of ours. It’s a sign of great respect for our monarchs & Royalty and it’s an ancient tradition, so yes we need to keep it.
In all the shops in Japan, at the end of their shift, at the closure of the shops, ALL the employees are lined up and bow to each customer that leaves the shop. It's their tradition. To show respect to everyone. But I would find it very cumbersome and time consuming if the employees in other countries would be forced to do the same. In any case, I think that MOST of the people will still bow or make a small curtsy, our nature is to show respect to those who deserve it.
Queen Elizabeth set the standard. They are not commoners. There is nothing wrong with bowing and curtsying. It is ok to be modern without losing your identity. The monarchy brings in millions to GB. People like to see the pomp and splendor and William should remember this.
I love how Prince William and Prince George mirrored the same responses. They had no idea they were doing the same thing. It showed this American how close the Wales are.
We all saw the queen watching the geegees at ascot, cheering. I would imagine most people will still continue to bow and curtsey, its part of the charm .
It's absolutely NECESSARY for people to bow or curtsey to the royals. What's the point otherwise? William should understand that it makes the people who are making this gesture feel special because it brings home that they're in the presence of royalty. 🩷From Bombay 🇮🇳
I believe in respect. I would gladly curtsy when meeting a Royal, in spite of it not being an American tradition to do so for our dignitaries. I believe that we must honor others traditions’ cultures.
I'm an American and if I ever get the chance to go to Britain 🇬🇧 it's for DAM SURE I will always Bow to any & all Royals Purely out of Respect because I was raised with proper MANORS and MANORS matter no matter what anyone says ... 😊
It's a different era. While the Queen was respected, Charles will own his own take on his reign, as will William. Showing emotion at the footy is normal and relatable, especially if both W anG are such massive fans.
They are Royalty and should be treated as such. The Royal family and history is what makes Britain so special, without it you just have a Politician running the show. I would have no issue showing some respect to members of this family, (excluding of course EX Royals), curtseying and bowing is part of the tradition isn't it?
I think the difference with Prince William is that he went to university as William. He worked in search and rescue as Big Willy. Of all the monarchs and monarchs to be, he is the only one to really live as a commoner and who didn’t mind being treated as commoner. That said, I at least like to see the bow of a head if we aren’t going to see a curtsy. It is just a matter of respect, royal or not.
Of course people should bow to the Royals. They should not water down the Monarchy, once respect is gone it can never be retrieved. William will have to learn to live with it.
I'm American and it's not my place to comment, however, I have always admired the respect shown to the Royal Family by the British citizens. It is a custom most unique to Great Britain, and I would be disappointed if that unique custom would end.
I'm not British, I don't live in Britain and your Monarchy is not mine....BUT...I am always willing to show my respect in an appropriate way to those I respect. I follow our traditional ways of showing respect in our country and I would be willing to follow your system when I'm in your country. Yes, people should always show respect to those worth it in whatever way they think is appropriate.
Between his mother, Diana and his beautiful wife, Catherine, William has gained a wonderful warmth about him. He is especially affectionate with his children. As for bowing and curtsying, I think it should be up to the individual to show, or not show, as a sign of respect. Personally, I would LOVE the opportunity to meet a Royal and drop a curtsy.
@@mbd6054 I didn't mean to suggest that Charles is not a loving or kind father. Of course, he is. But Charles was more reserved in showing affection, perhaps due to a more structured, Royal upbringing.
@@maryoleary2037 All the evidence is to the contrary. Charles was in no way reserved in showing affection to the boys, either publicly or privately, as is very well documented in umpteen videos and photographs online, and in numerous books, with the one exception of Harry's book. Harry did try to portray the King as reserved, but like much of Harry's book, his memory seems to have failed him in that regard as well.
Showing respect to our beloved Royal Family should be a must. Yes keep the bowing or curtsies. We don’t want these wonderful 🇬🇧traditions failing, wave the 🇬🇧 sing “Land of hope and glory” be proud to be 🇬🇧. Thank you Neil for your wonderful videos, taking your time and giving us all a treat with stunning pictures 👏👏👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼to all your wonderful subscribers.
I like the fact our, Prince William, and our beautiful English Rose Catherine, Princess of Wales, shows their three gorgeous children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and little Prince Louis, love,support, and empathy, which is very important in children's lives, it gives them confidence, and stability. Although I think our dashing Prince William should stick to the Royal tradition of people curtsying to them, after all, after our beloved King Charles and Queen Camilla, our dashing Prince William, and our beautiful English Rose Catherine, will become our British King and Queen, and they are worthy of curtsying to. 🌹 ❤🇬🇧
I think William is being very wise in leaving it to everyone to courtsey/bow or not. The great majority of us will continue to offer this mark of respect.
Many years ago, my then CEO asked me to address him by his first name. I replied; with respect Mr (surname), I was brought up in Belgium. He got it, he was/is German.
As an American I would curtsey IF I was ever presented to royalty (except for the duo in California) esp. if I was in the UK as that is the known custom for showing respect. Just as I would stand if I was at an event in another country and their national anthem was to be played.
I loved to see William and Catherine out and about with their children. Leading by example ❤ and I would love to curtsey for the pair, even being American, that is how much I respect them and their traditions 😉
I’m for the curtsey and the bowing it shows a mark of respect which has been gained through the years and is up to William to carry on the work that his ancestors have before him 😊
Queen Elizabeth was the monarch her time needed. And she did a wonderful job of it. The wheel of time has moved on and therefore the monarchy has to as well. Nothing wrong with that. Good idea actually.
My sentiments too... if someone wants to bow, they are free to do it, if not, they have the choice. As for the Royals showing their feelings, I absolutely love watching them being human and showing their humanity, what's wrong with that?
I think Prince William wants others to feel equal when in his presence. He has no ego and is very humble and down to earth so clearly it's a beautiful reflection on him. He may be going through the way of the RF in Denmark and wanting to make is less formal and stuffy and adopt a easier way of interactive life moving forward for future generations. Initially he never wanted the role he eas into but has accepted the role out of respect for his late grandmother and earlier generations before him. I think he's making the best of his situation and adapting it to allow him and his family a sense of more freedom and normality. It's certainly a big burden and responsibility he has been born into
But that doesn't mean getting rid of showing respect. That is the ''woke'' way of things where the only one worthy of respect is ME, ME, LOOK AT ME and nobody else deserves any. Hasn't exactly done a lot for modern behaviour though.
Always curtsy, if you're female, or bow if you're male. As you said Neil, it's a mark of respect. But, being brutally honest here - I would never curtsy to Harry or Meghan. They've done nothing to earn my respect..
It is in his own interest, he grew up mixing with people,going shopping and to fun fairs with his Mum,half his family are normal people living normal lives. It must be a breath of fresh air compared with all the Royal restrictions,like living in a Goldfish bowl.
If we treat the Royals like ‘one of us’ they’ll no longer be special, we’ll lose interest. We WANT them to be different - keep the bows and the curtsies, it makes the occasion special.
Nope, keep the bowing, there's no respect left in the world these days and keep the traditions alive!
Keep the Bowing and curtsy.
@@jenniferbangs8557 why I would not cursty

As an American I would curtsey IF I was ever presented to royalty (except for the duo in California) esp. if I was in the UK as that is the known custom for showing respect. Just as I would stand if I was at an event in another country and their national anthem was to be played.
Hello Neil & chums...hope you're all well ❤️🙏 kath Yorkshire England
Quite hot in Florida today 👋👋👋
I loved to see William and Catherine out and about with their children. Leading by example ❤ and I would love to curtsey for the pair, even being American, that is how much I respect them and their traditions 😉
👋👋👋💜
I’m for the curtsey and the bowing it shows a mark of respect which has been gained through the years and is up to William to carry on the work that his ancestors have before him 😊
Queen Elizabeth was the monarch her time needed. And she did a wonderful job of it. The wheel of time has moved on and therefore the monarchy has to as well. Nothing wrong with that. Good idea actually.
My sentiments too... if someone wants to bow, they are free to do it, if not, they have the choice. As for the Royals showing their feelings, I absolutely love watching them being human and showing their humanity, what's wrong with that?
I think it’s a form of respect and William should maybe think about it.
Monarchy doesn't change...it evolves!!
I think Prince William wants others to feel equal when in his presence. He has no ego and is very humble and down to earth so clearly it's a beautiful reflection on him. He may be going through the way of the RF in Denmark and wanting to make is less formal and stuffy and adopt a easier way of interactive life moving forward for future generations. Initially he never wanted the role he eas into but has accepted the role out of respect for his late grandmother and earlier generations before him. I think he's making the best of his situation and adapting it to allow him and his family a sense of more freedom and normality. It's certainly a big burden and responsibility he has been born into
But that doesn't mean getting rid of showing respect. That is the ''woke'' way of things where the only one worthy of respect is ME, ME, LOOK AT ME and nobody else deserves any. Hasn't exactly done a lot for modern behaviour though.
Good, I bow to only one king, Jesus Christ.
❤❤
Bow and cutesy...keep them,please.
I love that they are emotional & show their loving sides. It's wonderful
Always curtsy, if you're female, or bow if you're male. As you said Neil, it's a mark of respect. But, being brutally honest here - I would never curtsy to Harry or Meghan. They've done nothing to earn my respect..
William seems often lately like he isn't very happy. People like the Royals and tradition. It is not old fashioned!
I always thought it's a sign of respect.
Good day Neil😊I think it’s wonderful how William is behaving. He will be a brilliant King. He’s modernizing slowly.
It is in his own interest, he grew up mixing with people,going shopping and to fun fairs with his Mum,half his family are normal people living normal lives. It must be a breath of fresh air compared with all the Royal restrictions,like living in a Goldfish bowl.
I like the traditions but as long as people are respectful, i don't mind.
If we treat the Royals like ‘one of us’ they’ll no longer be special, we’ll lose interest. We WANT them to be different - keep the bows and the curtsies, it makes the occasion special.
I love your reports because you are honest and I trust you
Here the magistrates also give a little bow to acknowledge the judge in court … keep a respectful tradition going, I think.
