Catherine knows how to gracefully attend royal events, no matter the challenges. During her 12 years in the royal family, she has performed many formalities, especially for Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles in the UK.

Recently, the Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed the Qatari royal family to an important royal event. The couple appeared happily alongside Amir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and his wife, Shika Jawahar. During the welcoming ceremony, Catherine showed elegance as she bowed to King Charles. Their relationship has probably grown stronger during difficult times. To show respect to her father-in-law, Catherine performed a formal bow, placing one foot behind her and bowing her head before following King Charles and her husband to watch the ceremony. Her composure and grace as she bowed continues to impress royal watchers.

Dressed in a burgundy coat designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and a hat by Sahar Milliner, she looked stunning alongside William and other important people in London. She also wore a pearl necklace that belonged to the late Queen and styled her hair in a low bun as she chatted with Shika Jawahar. The last time Wales hosted a major event was during the state visit of the South Korean president in November last year. This was her first appearance on a state visit, demonstrating her commitment to royal duties.

Meanwhile, Queen Camila visited Buckingham Palace to support King Charles on his state visit to Qatar. She arrived at the palace at 12:10pm to greet the Emir of Qatar and his wife. Camila was unable to attend the outdoor welcoming ceremony due to recent fatigue. The bow is a traditional gesture of respect for British royal women, performed twice a day to the king or queen when greeting and when leaving.

The gesture, which involves kneeling and bowing, has delighted royal fans and sparked much discussion on social media. Members of the royal family, including Princess Diana, Princess Anne, Queen Camila, Meghan Markle and Catherine, have all been analyzed and criticized online for their bows. During the welcoming ceremony for the South Korean president last year, Princess Catherine paused to bow to the king and queen, smiling before taking her seat.

Footage of Catherine bowing deeply in her coronation gown went viral on TikTok, garnering more than 300,000 views in just 24 hours. Many viewers praised her bow, calling it an important moment in the king's reign. Traditionally, both men and women bow and curtsy to those of higher royal rank. Meghan Markle previously expressed surprise at the tradition when she first met the late Queen in an interview.
