It will take some time for people to get used to having a new monarch in Buckingham Palace following the death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth III, and this is apparently just as true for members of the royal family. Mike Tindall, the husband of the Queen's granddaughter Zara Phillips, has now spoken out about experiencing a bit of an awkward blunder during his first meeting with King Charles III after he became king.
During a recent episode of his sports podcast The Good, The Bad, and The Rugby, the former rugby union player admitted he almost curtseyed to the King. According to the royal family website, protocol dictates that, when meeting the king, men should give a neck bow, without bending their waist, while women should carry out a "small curtsy".
