The practice of paying respects to the monarch or other rulers and significant persons has a long and varied history that spans nations and time periods. Bowing was used in many ancient societies, including Ancient Egypt, to express respect and deference to kings or deities. Bowing or kneeling before gods and great figures was a customary way to express submission and respect in ancient Greece.

In medieval Europe, bowing or kneeling before a king or queen represented loyalty and obedience. These gestures also highlighted social position, as persons of lower social standing were expected to follow those higher up the social ladder. Bowing before a king or queen grew more institutionalized during the early modern period in Europe and other parts of the world, and it was frequently accompanied by elaborate ceremonies and rituals.

This was especially significant under monarchs, where such gestures were deemed required to preserve the ruler’s legitimacy. In countries with democratic governments, the practice of worshiping a king or queen has largely faded. However, in some cultures and settings, bowing or other forms of respect for authority people or elders are still popular, expressing reverence or thanks for their contributions to society.
