Kate Middleton CURTSIES To King Charles While Navigating Stairs

Transcript

00:00 Kate Middleton knows how to give the perfect curtsy in any circumstance.

00:06 On Tuesday, the Princess of Wales and her husband, Prince William, welcomed the President

00:09 of South Korea, Yun Suk-yol, and his wife, First Lady Kim Yong-yi, to London for their

00:15 first state visit to the United Kingdom.

00:18 After meeting the couple at a hotel and posing for photos, they traveled to the Horse Guards

00:22 Parade in London, where they met with King Charles and Queen Camilla.

00:27 That is where Kate expertly curtsied to the King and Queen with a big smile on her face

00:31 as she navigated her way up the stairs.

00:35 And the 41-year-old's curtsy isn't the only thing making headlines.

00:39 The mom of three looked regal in a bright red wool cape by Catherine Walker & Co.

00:43 Although it looks like the coat has a bow on it, it's actually a detail from the red

00:47 dress she's wearing underneath.

00:49 Kate previously wore that dress to the Christmas Carol concert two years ago.

00:54 She accessorized the look with a matching hat and sapphire and diamond drop-down earrings

00:58 that previously belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

01:02 Meanwhile, Prince William looked dapper in a blue coat with a red tie.

01:06 The royal couple then embarked on a carriage procession along the Mall to Buckingham Palace

01:11 alongside the President and First Lady of South Korea and the King and Queen.

01:15 Their day will wrap up with a state banquet hosted in the ballroom at Buckingham Palace.

01:21 This is the second state visit that King Charles has hosted since he became monarch in September

01:25 2022.

01:27 Prince William and Kate Middleton have played a key role in welcoming guests since the Queen's

01:32 death.

01:33 One day after her passing, King Charles made William and Kate Prince and Princess of Wales,

01:37 which recognized them as senior members of the royal family.

01:41 Access Hollywood previously spoke with DailyMail.com's Charlene Langston, who talked about how the

01:46 duo are getting ready to lead the monarchy.

01:49 William and Kate are already not acting as though they are already the leaders of the

01:56 monarchy, but they are taking on a huge amount of responsibility, not just in terms of public

02:03 engagements but also in terms of the way in which the monarchy is run.

02:07 They're making small but very important changes, opening up the monarchy to a more

02:12 modern point of view, not perhaps in a way that is noticeable every single day, but bit

02:20 by bit they have kind of helped the monarchy to evolve, to kind of embrace new traditions,

02:26 and to kind of maintain the important heritage of the past while also kind of saying, "Okay,

02:32 a few of the things that we used to do are seen as being very stuffy.

02:36 They are very stuffy.

02:38 There are ways where we can kind of maintain the tradition behind these things without

02:42 making it appear as though we are completely ignorant to what the rest of the world is

02:46 doing and how they're living."
