Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton’s Perfect Matching Curtsies at Trooping the Colour
The royal sisters-in-law, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, made a stunning appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace during Trooping the Colour on Saturday.
The duo, along with Prince Harry, displayed a rippling effect of honour to Queen Elizabeth during the celebrations.
Kate showed off her expert curtsy first, followed by Meghan, who has had months of practice to perfect her curtsy.
She debuted her first one on Christmas Day with the royal family and had seasoned pro-Kate by her side as she showed the time-honoured sign of respect to the monarch.
Kate was the perfect royal to show Meghan the ropes.
The Duchess of Sussex was spotted curtsying to the Queen as the head of the royal family arrived back into the palace following her tour inspecting the masked ranks of the troops.

BBC commentator Sean Edwards remarked that this was likely one of those moments akin to the royal wedding when you suddenly realise you've arrived.
He noted that Meghan was speaking quite frequently to her husband Prince Harry during her time on the balcony, and suggested she was likely going over royal protocol.
The BBC's royal commenters pointed out that Meghan appeared remarkably confident alongside her new family.
The ceremony marked the first joint appearance by Prince Harry and Meghan since returning from their honeymoon two days ago.
While Meghan was dressed in pastel pink, her husband Harry was fully clad in official military uniform.
The Duchess of Sussex's dress was by Carolina Herrera and her head by Philip Treacy.
The royal couple stood alongside Prince William and Kate, Princess Beatrice, Bride to Be Eugenie and Sarah Ferguson, and Zara Tindall.
Earlier, they were greeted by the sight of hundreds of guardsmen lined up on the parade ground.
The Duke and Duchess married exactly three weeks ago today in the memorable Windsor ceremony.
