Meghan Markle Shows Off Her Royal Curtsy Skills
Meghan Markle, the future royal, has already mastered the art of the royal curtsy.
During Christmas Day church services outside the Church of St. Mary Magdalene, she greeted Queen Elizabeth with a perfect curtsy.
The seasoned pro, Kate Middleton, was by her side as she showed the time-honoured sign of respect to the monarch.
Prince William and Prince Harry also bowed their heads in respect.
Kate Middleton is the perfect royal to show Meghan the ropes.
She expertly trained her two-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte, who debuted her own adorable curtsy this summer during the royal family's tour in Germany and Poland.

In addition to Queen Elizabeth, Meghan will be expected to curtsy to Prince Philip, Princess Charles and his wife Camilla Duchess of Cornwall.
She'll also be bending and bowing for Prince William and Kate, due to his position in line for the throne.
According to Mecca Meyer, founder and director of Beaumont Etiquette, the curtsy should be subtle.
A ballerina curtsy is not necessary, but the deeper and longer you pause shows more respect and formality.
To curtsy, Meyer instructs placing one leg behind the other, whichever one is more comfortable for you, and bowing your head slightly while bending your knees.
It is clear that Meghan has already taken Meyer's advice on board.
She had a demure smile as she bowed her head and did a slight curtsy, also following with her left foot.
