Theresa May’s weird curtsey has been causing hilarity again – the 12 best reactions
You probably remember that Theresa May was roundly mocked for the strangeness of her curtsey technique when meeting Prince William. This is how it looked.
Pretty awkward, right? Unfortunately for her, being Prime Minister of the UK comes with many occasions on which she must face the Royals, so she’s been at it again.
Worse still, someone noticed this was a frequently recurring trend, and drew attention to it.

What people may not realise, however, is that the curtsey may not be accidentally awkward. The PM may just be emulating her biggest role model.

Bonus: The truth.
"Why are you doing that"
"my legs are drunk"
"Tell the truth"
"my knees are filled with magnets"
"Theresa"
"My legs are trying to escape"
"Stop it"
"…I don't know how to be human"
"Thank you" pic.twitter.com/8nxNe5Q0K6— TechnicallyRon (@TechnicallyRon) August 8, 2018
