Kate Middleton debuts first public curtsy to King Charles and Camilla, Queen Consort at Christmas carols concert

Catherine, Princess of Wales, has executed her first public curtsy with perfect precision at her second annual Royal Carols: Together at Christmas event.

Showing respect to her father and stepmother-in-law, King Charles and Camilla, Queen Consort, the Princess of Wales greeted each of them with hugs and kisses on each cheek, before holding onto their left arms as she kicked back her leg and bowed in a quick, precise curtsy.

It's the first time Catherine has publicly curtsied to her royal family members, and it occurred within hours of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle making explosive claims in the final episodes of their Netflix series – particularly about Catherine's husband, Prince William.

Charles and Camilla also made sure to show the other family members love, with each of them kissing Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and William on both cheeks. William did not bow to his father or stepmother.

The public display of affection and sign of respect comes as Meghan shared Harry & Meghan Volume One that the royal family's formalities continue behind closed doors.

She shared that when she first met the now Prince and Princess of Wales, she was barefoot and wearing ripped jeans, going in for a hug.

"I was a hugger, always been a hugger. I didn't realise that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits," she said in episode two of the docuseries, laughing.

"I guess I'd start to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside, there there is a forward-facing way of being and you close the door and go, 'Ah, we can relax now' but that formality carries over on both sides, and that was surprising to me," Meghan said in the series.

The latest drop of the highly-anticipated series, which came on December 15, featured explosive claims from both Meghan and Harry, particularly in regards to William and Charles.

Thought the royals have remained silent on the issues brought up in Harry & Meghan, Harry publicly shared details of the 'Sandringham Summit', where Harry and Meghan's exit from the royal family was discussed.

Harry shares that the conversation was not as productive as the royal family made it seem, sharing details of the high-tension scene.

"It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me, and my father say things that just simply weren't true, and my grandmother sit there and quietly take it all in," Harry said of the Sandringham Summit.

"They had to believe it was more about us and the issues we had as opposed to their partner, the media, and themselves… they saw what they wanted to see."

The Duke of Sussex also claimed the Summit was organised in a fashion that deliberately excluded the Duchess of Sussex.

Senior royals, meanwhile, kept calm and carried on as the Sussexes' bombshells aired, showing a display of unity at the Christmas carols concert, and showing a display of unity at the Christmas carols concert.
