Princess Catherine returned to her royal duties in a stunning way during the recent state visit of the Qatari Royals. She showed off her perfect poise and grace. But a short but important conversation between King Charles and Princess Catherine has caused a lot of controversy among people who follow the royal family.
Catherine did a beautiful curtsy as she and Prince William joined King Charles at the Horse Guards Parade in London. But King Charles looked away at the same time, so it looked like he missed the motion. Many people who follow the royal family have looked at this short but awkward moment and shared their thoughts on social media.
Some people have said that King Charles was “rude” and “ignored” Catherine’s bow. Some people have said that he probably just didn’t notice the motion. Some people have defended Catherine by saying she is “respectful and classy” and “ladylike, respectful, and well-behaved.”
Royal customs have also been called into question. Some people are wondering why Prince William didn’t bow to King Charles and if Catherine was even meant to curtsy in the first place. Catherine kept her cool during the controversy and continued to take part in the state visit, which included a carriage parade and an official welcome.
Catherine had been diagnosed with cancer and had been going through treatments. This was her first state visit since then. Her presence gave the event more meaning and showed how strong she is and how dedicated she is to her royal tasks. Even though Catherine didn’t show up to the official state dinner that night, she got a lot of praise for how well she did during the state visit as a whole.
