However, when meeting with the Queen, Trass's shallow curtsy made some British people dissatisfied with her, believing that she did not respect the Queen; her "black history" of her early anti-monarchy remarks was also exposed, causing controversy.

( Observer Network ) On September 6, Tras, elected as the leader of the British Conservative Party, accepted the official appointment of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom in Scotland , becoming the new British Prime Minister.

However, when meeting the queen, Trass's shallow Curtsy made some British people dissatisfied with her, believing that she did not respect the queen; her "black history" of her early anti-monarchy remarks was also exposed, causing controversy.

htmlOn September 6, Queen Elizabeth II of England met with Tras, the 15th Prime Minister during her reign. According to the British "HTM1 Daily Mail ", the appointment of the Prime Minister is "one of the few personal privileges of the monarch", and Tras will ask the Queen of England to form a government in her name. The whole process is called the " kissing hand " ceremony because under the rule of the previous monarch, the prime minister would actually be asked to kiss the monarch's hand to show their loyalty to the monarch.

But it is not the case now, "kissing your hands" is usually a handshake. Photos on the scene also show Tras shook hands with her while meeting with the Queen.

In addition, there are photos showing that before shaking hands with the queen, Tras also gave a shallow curtsey to the queen.

Curtsy is a traditional Western court greeting etiquette. According to the British royal family, there is no mandatory code of conduct when meeting the queen or other royal members, but its website states that despite this, "many people still want to abide by traditional etiquette." The website suggests that for men, they need to lower their necks and bow their heads to greet them, while for women, curtsy.

To express "respect and politeness", many people still choose to curtsy or bow their heads when meeting members of the British royal family. For example, when Boris Johnson, who had just officially stepped down, was appointed as the new British Prime Minister in 2019, he bowed his head to the Queen. A female prime minister before Tras Theresa May 2 also curtsyed to the Queen when she was appointed Prime Minister in 2016.

In 2019, then Conservative leader Boris Johnson was received by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and was appointed as the new British Prime Minister

2016, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and met Theresa May at Buckingham Palace and appointed him as the new Prime Minister

In this case, watching Tras seem to have only bent his knees slightly when he saw the Queen, some British netizens began to be dissatisfied.

"Obviously, Tras did not ask (Theresa May) how to bend the knee!"

"Did she really cursed? This photo does not indicate that she did this."

"Tras did not cursed the queen, which is a shame."

There are also many netizens who forwarded or shared videos of Tras's posting anti-monarchical remarks in an interview in his early years, ridiculing Tras.

In 1994, Leeds Tras, then 19 years old, criticized the monarchy in an interview with British independent TV station (ITV), and also called the monarchy's views "shameful". In response, some netizens laughed, "I hope she will be happy to see the queen in Balmoral Castle today."

In another video, Tras, who was still in college, has not yet joined the Conservative Party . At an event in 1994, she criticized "only one family can produce the head of state" and said that she does not think that "people should be rulers in their birth." She also called for the abolition of the monarchy at the time, saying she had solicited public opinion and they told her that "we have had enough of abolishing them." Some netizens lamented: "Time can really change people."

" Liberal Democratic Party version of Trass is going to Balmoral to meet the queen and tell her to find a serious job."

"Last time: the anti-royal party pretends to respect (the queen)."

However, some people have raised objections to speak for Trass, saying that people can change their views on things, and Trass should not be condemned.

"I think people are allowed to change their perception of things and should not be condemned for the rest of their lives."

"I have no opinion on the politicians - and people in general - changing their ideas. There is no story here.”

Although this is not the first time that Tras's view of things has undergone a major change. For example, during the British "Brexit" referendum, she was a supporter of the "Remaining Euro" at first, and later turned to support "Brexit", but she still couldn't hide her embarrassment when she met the British Queen this time.

According to the British Mirror on the 6th, a body language expert analyzed that Tras's obvious anti-monarchy thought was firmly imprinted in her past. Her body language showed that she was eager to meet the Queen in Balmoral Castle today, but she also felt embarrassed. The expert also said, "It can be seen from her body posture that her knees were slightly bent and her torso leaned forward, which shows that she had at least half curtsy when she greeted the Queen. But she seemed to be intentionally distanced from the Queen again and did not try to relax herself more like her exes, Cameron and Johnson . ”

In contrast, the British Queen, the expert said she raised her eyebrows and grinned, maintaining a comfortable eye contact, “She looks warm and friendly and is happy to meet her new prime minister. ”
