No, we do not even bow to our own leader, it may seem disrespectful, but in the American culture a nod of the head will do. We broke off from England with a war, and will still respect that as part of our history, so to some bowing to an english queen may even feel wrong even if that war was over 200 tears ago. We are nit obligated to bow and the royal family respects it, as long as we keep our manners

What is curtsey?
When a woman shows repect to a person such as the Duchess of Cambridge making a curtsey to Queen Elizabeth II. A curtsey is made when a woman puts her right foot behind her left ankle and bends her knees, the lower you go the more respect you are showing to the perosn.

Educated Americans do not bow to any monarch, period. Americans should, however, be seriously respectful to all foreign royalty, which includes knowing and using the proper forms of address in presentation and conversation.

When was a curtsey made?
Poses of obeisance have been made since any one person has perceived another to be superior in any way. The bow and the curtsey has evolved from these , and I'm not sure when the current modified curtsey came into use , no doubt sometime in the Victorian Era , when overly courtly gestures became seen as flamboyant , and also the changing of France after the Revolution , when Royalty fell out of favor.
Does the duchess of Cornwall cursty to prince willian and harry?
The Queen has recently issued new guidelines on this very topic. Broadly speaking, members of the Royal family who were not born royal must curtsey to those that were. However, as with most Royal protocol this is nuanced.The Queen's grandchildren are clearly of direct Royal lineage (even if Princess Anne's children bear no titles). Thus, non-royals who married into the family (notably the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Countess of Wessex) must curtsey to them, and indeed to all 'blood royals' including, on principle, William and Harry. (Though it is hard to imagine Catherine curtseying to her husband.) BUT, and it's a big but, when the three ladies mentioned above are accompanied by their 'true royal' spouses, they are not required to curtsey, except to the Queen (to whom even their husbands bow).
