The senior royal who no longer has to curtsy to anyone in her own family

A curtsy is an age-old mark of respect and deference to the monarchy. The tradition will be sighted again among all the pomp and ceremony of King Charles's coronation in May.

His newfound status means all family members should bow or curtsy to him. Before the death of the late Queen, royals were often seen bowing or curtsying in public to her at events such as Christmas Day, Easter or Royal Ascot.

Both Kate and Meghan were seen to curtsy to the late Queen when greeting her on their respective wedding days in 2011 and 2018. However one royal woman will no longer have to perform this gesture, the Mirror reports.
