If you met the queen of England...

I would not. How about you?

Does anyone seriously care? I very much doubt if you would ever be asked to meet the Queen anywhere, ever and if you couldn't be bothered with archaic bullshit, why on earth would it matter? You live in an Eighteenth Century dream, kid.

Probably out of respect, maybe tradition, age. I think it's a custom over there. What's wrong with being kind to an elderly foreign lady?

Not at all. I'm a free man. I bow to no one. What makes them so special? Their station is nothing but an accident of birth.

Sure, it is their tradition, out of respect for the Nation, I would follow the recommended custom. Small gesture, and I don't think the rest of the royal family follows nor expects that prescribed for the Queen

But it's not MY tradition.
 
In some countries it's just a greeting, or a thank you. Grow up, and maybe try learning some culture.

Well, the world exists and operates beyond your own personal environment or understanding of it

What would be your reaction if a commoner from say France got the opportunity to publically meet with the President of the United States and upon the President entering the room he or she remained seated and didn't bother to acknowledge the President's presence? Would you consider that a diss of the United States?

Ay, like being trumpf. Does anybody bow, by the way? - I've never heard of such a thing. You're not free, incidentally - you're a brainwashed American bumsucker! :)
