How low can you go, Prime Minister? Theresa May performs ANOTHER excruciatingly deep curtsy as she meets Prince William
- Commemorations at Amiens Cathedral in northern France yesterday marked centenary of Battle of Amiens
- Photos of Theresa May greeting the Duke of Cambridge with an awkward-looking curtsy at the event
- The Prime Minister has often been snapped lunging low while performing a curtsy for various royals
It was just as well the Duke of Cambridge gripped the Prime Minister’s hand to steady her at a service to mark the centenary of the Battle of Amiens.
A snap of the pair shows Theresa May locked in an awkward position, looking like she was about to topple over as she made a very deep, unpolished curtsy in front of the royal.
The centenary of a key turning point in the First World War was marked yesterday with a solemn service at Amiens Cathedral.

Twitter users reacted with astonishment to the PM’s extra-low curtsy when she met Prince William yesterday
Mrs May and Prince William paid tribute to the bravery of troops who fought in the Battle of Amiens at the event, which was staged exactly 100 years since the start of the offensive.
However, while greeting the Duke of Cambridge at the event the PM nearly scraped a knee on the paving as she lunged deeply, in a painful-looking maneouvre, which led to Twitter users to call for a whip-round to raise cash so she can be taught to do the gesture with more grace.
But, as the following photographs show, it is not the first time Mrs May has struggled while performing a curtsy for him and other royals.

Back in 2016 Queen Elizabeth welcomed Theresa May at the start of an audience where she invited the former Home Secretary to become Prime Minister and form a new government at Buckingham Palace on July 13 – but it was another ungraceful curtsy for the leader
