The National:

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.
