In the updated Order of Precedence, it's been decided that Kate Middleton must curtsy to the so called 'blood princesses' whenever Prince William isn't with her, according to reports.

The Queen has decided that when the Duchess of Cambridge isn't with her husband that she must curtsy to the Princess Royal, Princess Alexandra and the daughters of the Duke of York, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
