WE know the Tories love the royals, but even they must be cringing at Theresa May today.
Thankfully, there are no longer any actual obligations to bow upon meeting a member of the royal family.
Nobody seems to have told the Prime Minister about that little fact.
A clip has now emerged of how May greeted Prince William today, and it defines cringeworthy.
We really must warn you, this is not easy viewing. You will, in all likelihood, feel extremely sick.

We suspect this Gif alone will boost the republican cause in Scotland by at least a few percentage points, and May even appears to have topped her bow to the Queen.

If only the Prime Minister treated Scotland's elected First Minister with a fraction of the respect she seems to give the unelected royals...
That probably wouldn't go down too well with her Tory colleagues, however.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
