The young royal took the move as a mark of respect to the late monarch, as her body was laid in state at Westminster Hall, where it will remain until the state funeral on 19 September. Lady Louise stood alongside her younger brother, James, Viscount Severn, who similarly bowed his head in respect for Her Majesty.

Royal ladies normally curtsy and bow their heads in public if they're seeing the sovereign for the first time that day. For men, the greeting is normally a neck bow.
The Duchess of Sussex also performed a curtsy as she paid her respects alongside her husband, Prince Harry.
Lady Louise is not often seen performing curtsies. However, she was caught on camera performing a curtsy during the service of remembrance for her late grandfather, Prince Philip, in 2021.

As the Queen neared them, while being led to her seat by Prince Andrew, both Louise and mother, the Countess of Wessex curtsied. Meanwhile, James and Prince Edward bowed their heads.
The procession was the first time that James had been seen in public following the passing of the monarch, which is likely because of his young age.
