Kate Middleton Dissed — Forced To Curtsy For Princesses

A new set of rules imposed by the Queen of England states Kate must curtsy to the ‘blood princesses’, including the daughters of the Duke of York, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Kate Middleton may be a Duchess now, but she was once a commoner, which means she ranks lower on the Royal Order of Precedence than other blood members of the family.

Kate must now curtsy to Beatrice and Eugenie when Prince William is not with her, but when he is by her side, she doesn’t have to curtsy.

The royal etiquette is taken very seriously, and these rules apply in public and in private.

What do YOU think?

I get it but seems odd that it is a new rule.

If it's protocol, then it is what it is. I'm sure she knew what the deal was. If I was her, I wouldn't hang out with those two anyways..

I think its silly, but I guess that's the way they do things.

I think it's crazy to impliment a new rule just because she was a commoner!

You marry into the monarchy you have to deal with pomp and circumstance. It's part of the deal.

Does anyone else wonder if the two "blood" princesses got all jealous of the attention Kate gets an went crying to gramma? That's all right, when she's queen they'll bow to her!
