All members of the royal family have rules that they must follow and the children are no exception to those rules. These rules are some of the most rigorous out of all families and have withstood the test of time.

Their rich heritage and practices are part of the reason why the royal family runs so efficiently and smoothly. One of those rules is that of bowing or curtsying to the Queen upon greeting or leaving her. There are plenty of photos that show Prince William and Kate Middleton following this rule.

Not only is this a tradition, but it’s also a sign of respect. As older members of the royal family, they understand the ways of the family, but what about the youngsters? At what age are they expected to start following this rule?

According to historians of the royal family, there is a certain age when one must start to bow or curtsy to the Queen. They say that by the age of five most children have learned to start following this rule.

Prince George recently celebrated his fifth birthday, so it is likely that we will start seeing him do this in the very near future. It is likely even, say the royal historians, that he has already starting practicing the act in private.

As far as his little sister goes, it is likely that Princess Charlotte will begin following in her big brother’s footsteps as she will want to start copying his actions when he starts following the rules, although she isn’t required to for a few more years.

We’re sure that the world will go wild when we finally get a glimpse of the little royal performing his first royal bow in public. Check out the video below of his mother performing a perfect curtsy to the Queen and be sure to share it with your family and friends.
