To you, bowing is showing subservience. Bowing is showing respect in many
cultures.

Opinions vary, cultural customs don't mean much when you are ignorant of
them.

If you are going to bow to one monarch shouldn't you bow to all of them?

Depends on the culture?

A king is considered royalty. Shouldn't you show royalty respect?
