The Princess of Wales mastered the gesture many years ago
Aradiant looking Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, performed the perfect curtsy for her father-in-law, King Charles, during the Order of the Garter service yesterday, (Monday, June 17).
The royal joined other members of The Firm at Windsor Castle, days after her aquamarine outfit turned heads at Trooping the Colour over the weekend.
The Princess of Wales’ curtsy skills have been hailed before, and it’s no surprise Kate Middleton has gained attention for the gesture during her recent appearance.

Princess Kate Middleton praised after ‘elegant’ curtsy for King Charles
The service took place at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, the same location for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018.
As King Charles and Queen Camilla pulled away in a horse-drawn carriage for the ride back to the castle, Princess Kate Middleton performed the perfect curtsy.
To make it more impressive, she appeared to do it at the same time as Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.
Within the royal family, women curtsy to the monarch and senior members of the royal family, while men bow their heads. But Charles and Camilla are often seen greeting their family members with hugs, or kisses on the cheek afterwards.
The Firm gathered to celebrate the oldest and most senior Order of Chivalry in Britain. The Most Noble Order of the Garter is the world’s oldest national order of knighthood. It is around 700 years old after it was started by King Edward III, who was inspired by the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. There are 24 companions in the Order, including the monarch, the Prince of Wales and other royals from the UK and abroad.
It’s the first time she made an appearance at the event since 2023, after scaling back her royal duties last year as she battled cancer.
It was also the same location she and Prince William made their public debut in 2008, three years before they tied the knot at Westminster Abbey.

Kate’s Self Portrait dress stuns fans
At the Order of the Garter service, Kate Middleton’s self-portrait dress also gained attention. It’s not the first time she’s worn the gorgeous gown either.

Kate opted for nude, closed-tow heels and paired it with a Sean Barrett hat.
She wore the look at. the VE Day concert in May, at the Horse Guards Parade.
The Princess of Wales wore her hair in loose waves, after it appeared she lightened the brunette shade earlier this year.
