Princess Catherine’s Elegant Curtsy Steals the Show at State Visit

Princess Catherine wowed fans with her impeccable royal etiquette during a state visit at their London hotel this morning.

The Princess of Wales, clad in a stunning red cape, joined Prince William in welcoming South Korean President Yong Suk-yol and First Lady Kim Kyeon-hee to the UK.

The royal entourage proceeded from their hotel to Whitehall, making a grand entrance at Horse Guards Parade in London, where they were greeted by King Charles and Queen Camilla.

Prince William took the lead, guiding President Yong Suk-yol to meet the monarch.

As he bowed respectfully to King Charles and Queen Camilla, Princess Catherine gracefully curtsied behind him, capturing the hearts of onlookers with her poise and charm.

Royal protocol dictates that members of the family bow or curtsy to the monarch upon their first encounter of the day, showcasing a tradition of respect and reverence.

The passing of Queen Elizabeth last year saw King Charles ascend to the throne alongside Queen Camilla.

The royal family, including Princess Catherine, adhere to the custom of bowing or curtsying to the monarch and his wife upon each initial meeting.

This display of formalities was evident at the South Korean State Banquet, where King Charles and Queen Camilla welcomed esteemed guests, including Royals Prince William and Princess Kate of Wales, Princess Anne, and other dignitaries.

At the banquet, Queen Camilla donned the late Queen Elizabeth I's Burmese ruby tiara, while Princess Catherine showcased the exquisite Strathmore Rose Tiara from the royal vaults.

Her ensemble, featuring a white Jenny Packham gown with gold embroidery, exuded grace and sophistication.

Adorned with the Elizabeth I.I.

Royal Family Order and the Grand Cross Victorian Order sash and star, Princess Catherine epitomized regal elegance at the prestigious event.

The evening also saw the presence of K-pop sensations Blackpink, who were acknowledged by King Charles for their advocacy on environmental issues.

Addressing the band members – Jisoo, Lisa, Jenny, and Rose – the King commended them for leveraging their influence to promote environmental sustainability on a global scale.

The monarch's speech, peppered with Korean phrases and references to K-pop culture, resonated with the audience, including the illustrious guests in attendance.

Reflecting on his past visit to Seoul in 1992 with the late Princess Diana, King Charles humorously alluded to the iconic “Gangnam Style” phenomenon.

The evening was a celebration of cultural exchange and collaboration, with the royal family and dignitaries coming together to honor the longstanding ties between the UK and South Korea.

Princess Catherine's poised demeanor and sartorial elegance added a touch of glamour to the proceedings, reaffirming her status as a beloved figure in the royal family.
