As per The Mirror, it is a royal protocol that female members of the royal family must curtsy to the King and Queen Consort, but only once a day, the first time they meet them. Therefore, it is speculated that Kate had already greeted her royal in-laws earlier that day, before the official event began at 2.45 pm.
Although it is unknown how the royal family spent the morning, Kate and Prince William had traveled from Windsor to London, and it is plausible that they had already met the King and Queen Consort before the Commonwealth Day service.
