What is the etiquette regarding bowing or curtseying to Prince and Princess Michael of Kent?
Q. What is the etiquette regarding bowing or curtseying to Prince and Princess Michael of Kent? Last week I attended the memorial for Isabella Blow in the Guards Chapel. It was a magnificent occasion, but emotionally
draining, and I was just collecting myself when suddenly the royal couple passed by, leading the mourners out of the chapel. Had I known they were present at the service, I would have been prepared to follow the lead of others and do the correct thing, but I was in the very back row and looking in the wrong direction so it was too late to do
anything at all. I would not wish to have given offence. Had I been prepared, what should I have done? I am a 31-year-old male.
