- On the 18th of May 2012, Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall hosted a dinner at Buckingham Palace for foreign sovereigns and royalty in celebration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Here the couple greet their guests, Their Serene Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Monaco.
***Sidenote: In regards to protocol... There appear to be two trains of thought when it comes to what should determine who should be bowed to/curtsied to. There are those who say that because the style of Royal Highness is higher than that of Serene Highness, Princess Charlene was right to curtsy to the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. Then there are those who say that because Charlene is the wife of a Royal Head of State and a Sovereign Consort, she does in fact outrank both the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall and that they should infact bow/curtsy to her. Then there are those who believe that due to her position as a sovereign consort, Princess Charlene should not curtsy to the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, but nor should they bow or curtsy to her due to their styles as Royal Highnesses.
I am of the opinion that as a sovereign consort, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall should in fact bow/curtsy to Princess Charlene, regardless of their higher styles. So to me, this is a break in protocol.

Tall women do beautiful curtsies. Princess Diana was also tall and she curtsies so deep that she looks so graceful, just like Princess Charlene here.

I just googled a video after watching this 1 of her curtesy. She makes it look EASY & graceful. Poor camilla don’t know when to curtesy or to shake hands and she’s been around 50yrs should she not have figured it out??
Princess Charlene looks lovely. Real 1930s glamour.
M Scott I love her, she's really nice and friendly
I think Charlene, in her pink dress, looks divine!
It's very nice to see Princess Charlene curtsy to the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall even though Charlene is the wife of sovereign prince
Yes, but Monaco is a principality and the sovereign receive the treatment of Serene Highness a minor royal title than the Royal Higness, so she is following the protocol.
@@rogerramirez2912 But her husband is the sovereign, right??
@@alfred972 yes, but from a principality, what matters here is the royal treatment the person receives. A Royal Highness is more than a Serene Highness.
@@rogerramirez2912 Ohh. Ok, thank you 😊
I may be old fashioned, but a small show of courtesy to older, more experienced people is never wrong and always appreciated. No matter what circle or level of titles. Princess Charlene looked sensational.
La principessa Charlene è elegantissima
È vero!
Charleene is so cute..elegant..beautiful and polite..bless..
She chose to curtsey so I'd leave it alone. It's her staus and right to choose.
Princesa com muita classe!!!
I remember diana princess of wales curtsying to princess grace of monaco because the princess of monaco outranks the princess of wales.
I was thinking the same thing, but then i remembered Diana met Grace after her engagement to Charles - they hadn't married yet, so yes Diana had to curtsey to Grace. After marriage, the role would have been reversed because an HRH outranks an HSH.
Keith McMeekin before her marriage diana wasn't royal, so would have had to curtsy to everyone,
but after her marriage Grace would have had to curtsy as she was only a Serene Highness
if prince Charles gose Monaco he should bow down to Prince Albert
I have no idea re protocol (I doubt whether many people except the royals do) but presumably their advisers would have guided them accordingly.
If im not mistaken… serene highnesses (monaco) should curtsey to Royal Highnesses (uk) .
They can’t really be compared; Royal Highness and Serene Highness are used totally separately by different royal families. They’re to all intents and purposes simply a different way of expressing the word “Highness”.
The royal families of Monaco and Liechtenstein use Serene Highness for all their royal family members; other royal families use Royal Highness for all royal family members who are not the king or queen.
Thus, if Prince Charles of the UK, a royal highness, met Albert II of Monaco, a serene highness, then Albert II technically outranks Charles because he is a reigning monarch and Charles an heir. Similarly, if Princess Stephanie of Monaco met Prince Andrew of the UK you could argue they’re on an equal footing as they’re both younger children of reigning sovereigns.
Serene Highness is lower in status
No. A Serene Highness is a lower rank. It is indifferent in this respect if a personality is a head of state or not. Royal Highnesses do not bow or curtsey to heads of states who are not royal. If a pesonality has a royal or a princely rank, they follow royal protocol. Royal Highnesses have a higher status then Serene Highnesses.
When Her Majesty the Queen meets His Imperial Majesty The Emperor of Japan she doesn’t curtsy. The Prince of Monaco is a sovereign, a Furst not a prinz a head of state with a constitutional position.
@@Junoleda Prince Albert of Monaco is only a Serene Highness,
it doesn't matter that he's head of state, he's lower in status
@@lsmith9249 I disagree he’s lower in status, they are both monarchs, but agree he is lower in rank
HSH princess Charlene is so elegant
Why did Princess Charlene curtsies to Camilla? Camilla was a Duchess, while she was a Princess.
Camilla is a Princess as well, she just wants to be styled as a Duchess. But she is s HRH while Charlene is a HSH. However, Charlene is the monarch’s Consort, while Camilla is just the heir’s consort.
I agree your opinion. Diana had curtsied to Grace of Monaco. I don't understand them.
the Monaco Royal Family are only Serene Highnesses, so lower in status
When Diana performed a curtsy to the Princess of Monaco, she was a lady without any royal title, so the Princess of Monaco outranked her. Now Camilla is Royal Highness and Charlene is a Serene Highness, which is a lower rank.
Grace of Monaco was not just a Princess. She was a Queen in all aspects.
@@anacletwilliams8315 if she was a Queen, then she would have had the title, but she only married a serene highness, they are a step down
@@lsmith9249 No dear, who is a step down lower in grammar is you. If she were a Queen... Well Grace was much more than a Queen, she was an Empress of Beauty and Pageantry. Grace had all titles, Queen of Hollywood, Queen of Charm and Grace. Grace gave Monaco a popularity the principality never had before.
Charlene should not have curtsied to the Brits. She is married to the ruler of a country and as such is the consort of the sovereign. Charlie and the Rottweiler are just standing around.
The vacant look of Charles always makes me laugh. He always looks confused and as for the dog, she is useless anyway.
I was wondering why too, but then I Remember His Royal H. out rank those who are His Serene H.
stvh B it is because of the difference of ranks. Charlene is only HSH, Her Serene Highness whereas Charles and Camilla are both HRH, His/Her Royal Highness. It is only protocol but Charlene is still the consort of the sovereign of Monaco.
Pie you said exactly the same thing I said. lol
stvh B I meant to reply to the original commenter and I didn’t realized I replied to you. My apologies. 😅
They are Head of State of Monaco, so HRH should have bowed/curtesy first.
Why why why charlene curtsey to camilla and charles ? She's consort, right?
Agreed.
No. The rule of thumb is, you don’t curtsy or bow to someone of the same rank. Who would elevate a Prince or Princess from Serene to Royal Highness? Only a monarch can do that. Go back in history to understand why they are the rank they receive…
Why does Princess Charlene lean in front Prince Chrales and Camille ? she is princess ....
MrBadenfr because Charles is HRH, but the prince of Monaco is HSH.
She is not leaning to them, she’s curtsying as a sign of respect, and it is also the protocol.
well, i made corrections.. i wrote during the night and i was sleept
Lo mismo pregunto!
A Serene Highness is a lower rank than a Royal Highness.
Princess Charlene looks so much like Princess Diana may the Lady Wales R.I.P 🌷🌷🌷
omg....Princess Charlene looks nothing like Princess Diana...thank goodness....
@@maryt2196 Thank goodness! Zara Khan is nuts!
She's blonde. There is no other similarity. You really do need to move on like other people have.
Wait, is that the King of Brunei...?? 😱😱🧔🏻🧔🏻
Charles and Camilla should have bowed and curtsied to the Princess and Princess of Monaco. The Prince of Monaco is a Sovereign Prince and Head of State. Consequently, he and his wife outranks both Charles and Camilla.
You don't know what has been going on behind the scenes. If Charles has already had a drink with Albert, earlier in the day...... then he won't bow to him NOW.
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall are Royal Highnesses. Prince Albert and his wife are Serene Highnesses. I think we can trust them to know who bows to whom.
bloody ridiculous that we still have people bowing and curtseying to each other at all - it's 2020 for God's sake!
@@PeterJohnJnb It's called courtesy. A little thing that is often overlooked.
@@mscott3918 a handshake is just as courteous :-)
Why is Charlene curtsying to Charles and Camilla?
QueenVelveeta Because she is very courteous to an older couple. Remember when people acted courteously to others? Seems to be forgotten now.
Because she is only a Serene Higness and no Royal Highness...
Why the Princess of Monaco curtsy to Camilla ? Isnt it supposed to be the other way round ?
the Monaco Royal Family are only Serene highnesses, that is a lower status than Royal Highness
I think the Monaco nobles did something rather smart. Charlene did the curtsy totally out of respect. As a consort of a sovereign she didn’t need to curtsy, but she can if she wished. While Albert of Monaco, as the sovereign, can’t bow his head to Charles even if he wanted to, because that would lower the national dignity of Monaco. The couple did this to show respect to the heir to the British throne, while avoiding a sovereign to bow to an heir
Que payos estos dos devenidos en reyes de Inglaterra ella la princesa de cuernoalles jajajajaja y el??? 😂 Son dos momias un matrimonio perfecto!!!! 😧
HEAR HOW LOUD THIS SHIT LAUGH !!!
Former athletic...umm and Albert's late mother oh American Actress..umm
Camila looks like the maid! In comparison to the beautiful Charlene the Monaco!
Deena Herm.......Diana was a homewrecker too...slept with married men...yeah real classy of her....she did interviews, about her private life which I'm sure her sons are so proud about....yeah, real classy of her......she too should have been ashamed to show her face....your comments are just bullshit.....Diana was a master manipulator of the press and the public....and Camilla looks like what she is.....a pleasant enough looking older woman..
@@maryt2196 Oh boy, great comment. I've been writing this for years. Some people really have to move on and not believe everything they read in the cheap press.
Oh grow up and move on. Diana wasn't the saint that so many ignorant people want to believe. She lied and manipulated people, she was so cruel to her staff that many left. A housemaid took her to an industrial tribunal for constructive dismissal and won. Others were going to except that Prince Charles paid them three times the amount they would have been awarded not to take her to court. This was post divorce so he didn't have to. Plus she had a string of affairs and broke up at least two marriages. She made crank phone calls, she lied and used the children as weapons. And that is the woman you idolise. What does that say about you?
why does she curtsy isn't she higher rank
No. The Sovereign Prince of Monaco is a Serene Highness. A Royal Highness outranks a Serene Highness, and so it applies to the spouse. In fact, Princess Caroline's daughter, Alexandra of Hanover, outranks her 3 older siblings, her uncle, and the rest of the Monegasque Royal Family because she is an HRH.
Why the Princess of Monaco doing cursty to Prince Charles and Camila?
George De Willyam the Monaco Royal Family are only Serene Highnesses, that's a lower status than Royal Highness
But she is married to a Sovereign Head of State
@@randerson2525 they are only HSH
@@lsmith9249 They may only HSH but Prince Albert is still a Head of State.
@@randerson2525 so what?
Wow, all these nasty comments by these Bible bashers. I am so glad I made the decision to stay away from these people who are the most hypocritical people on earth.
Why so sharp and low crouch? Seems like immersion in water ...ugly...
So embarrassing for the sovereign prince, princess charlene should not curtsy to prince charles and to camilla.. princess charlene is consort of the prince, she must of higher rank equivalent to a queen consort in other kingdoms, charles is not yet the head of state not like albert.
Keith McMeekin Perhaps showing courtesy to people older than her?
@@mscott3918 ,maybe you are right but it is an state occassion, not a private one..
@@mscott3918 I remember when The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall visited the Kingdom of Jordan when they meet the King and Queen of Jordan The Duchess curtsied to Queen Rania regardless of their age. And also it was a Royal Protocol to curtsy to royals of higher rank and title and it was a State Visit.
Keith McMeekin That was the right thing to do. It occurred to me just now that maybe Charlene had curtsied to so many people that she had just got used to it. I like her very much, very sweet and natural.
Keith McMeekin learn the difference between HRH and HSH
Bad behavier of The beast
Camila huuuuuaa nooo
Daiana forever ❤❤...
..camila never !
Kandy Kandy Quite right. How can you expect sense from some brain dead Diana maniac who can't even spell a name.
Camilla doesn't deserve a Curtest or Respect from a beautiful princess like Charlene
Of course she does. She is a Royal Highness whilst Princess Charlene is a Serene Highness. Some people really need to move on.
@@mscott3918 Aside from the emotional stuff Charlene is a Princess Consort to a reigning Prince, doesn’t that mean she outranks Camilla who is a consort to an heir… regardless of the HSH & HRH titles.
Since when do you give curtsy to the wicked witch of Cornwall 🧟♀️👎
Curtsying is so anachrone, ugly, humiliating and antihumane act. It should be banned by the low.
within the royal houses, protocol must be observed....if you don't acknowledge another person's rank, how do you expect your own rank to be acknowledged by others?.....etc.....whole other world which I am glad I am not apart of.
The only thing that I can add regarding this video again is that even Princesse Charlenne looked ridiculous...This terrible protocol must be changed.In a matter of fact, I have not noticed any other royal house except British were the bowing is necessary...
d d Then start a petition to get it stopped. I'm sure you can. Oh yes, and maybe stop other small acts of courtesy like giving up seats on public transport, holding doors open, saying please and thank you. Because after all, who needs courtesy and politeness now?
d d By the way, what does anachrone mean? Might be a courtesy to spell properly.
Kamilla is not a royal , the princess of Monaco shouldn't give her so much courtesy.
Rubbish, by marriage to the Prince of Wales Wales she gained Royal status in the same way that any woman who marries a man of title shares his rank.
Moving on!
