Watching them embrace tradition with pride is truly rewarding. ✨🎩👗 #cotillionready #curtsy #cotillion #GraceInAction #FutureLeaders | From the Inside-Out School of Etiquette, LLC

You don't actually have to curtsy or bow your head when meeting royalty. There's no law or punishment if you don't. It's a personal choice. A warm smile and polite greeting are perfectly fine. If you do choose to curtsy, it's subtle: one foot behind the other, knees slightly bent, and a brief, graceful dip. #RoyalProtocol #Etiquette #RoyalFamily #BritishRoyals #RoyalCourts #MeetingRoyals | Julie Montagu
