Kate Middleton’s Perfect Coronation Curtsy Moment Goes Viral on Social Media
The coronation service of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey in May was a grand affair, attended by members of the extended royal family and representatives from world nations.
However, it was Kate Middleton’s curtsy that stole the show and has since gone viral on social media.
The ceremony was based on the traditional order that has been followed by all British monarchs since the late Anglo-Saxon period.
The British monarchy is the last of the European royal houses to hold a coronation for their kings and queens.
Others, such as Denmark, simply hold proclamation ceremonies.
Trending:
Kate, Britain’s new Princess of Wales, attended Charles’ coronation alongside her husband, Prince William, and their three children.
As Charles processed through Westminster Abbey with Queen Camilla after his crowning, Kate offered a perfect curtsy, which was caught on camera and uploaded to TikTok by user Royalsynthuald.
The video has been viewed over 3.3 million times, with the caption “Perfect curtsy on coronation day.”
It also includes Queen Camilla’s coronation curtsy to her husband, believed to be the last she will make in public as she is now a monarch herself and is not required to show public displays of reverence to any other.
A curtsy is a traditional deferential gesture made by female members of the royal family and society to the king or queen of the day.
Today, there is no requirement for members of the public to perform any gesture of reverence to the royals, but some elect to do so of their own accord.
For the royals, two curtsies are offered each day.
One to the king or queen when first greeting them and then again when retiring for the day.
In the case of the coronation, Kate’s curtsy was made as a gesture of recognition of the crowning service and the oaths sworn by Charles and Camilla.
Royal curtsies have been pulled into public focus in the last year after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry discussed them in their Netflix and memoir projects.
Meghan’s admission in the couple’s six-part Netflix docker series that she first thought being asked to curtsy to Queen Elizabeth II was a joke earned her criticism from some who claimed it was a sign of disrespect to traditional customs.
Throughout her marriage, Kate has made a number of public curtsies for which she has been widely praised, as Meghan’s have.
Now, this praise has extended to Kate’s daughter, Princess Charlotte, 8.
During the coronation concert on May 7, 2023, at Windsor Castle, Charlotte performed a deep curtsy as her grandfather, the King, arrived, and it was picked up on by social media fans.
In conclusion, the royal family’s traditional customs and gestures continue to fascinate the public, and Kate Middleton’s perfect coronation curtsy moment is just one example of this.
