Finally – a hilariously likely explanation for *that* Liz Truss curtsey
People are still pinching themselves to make sure they didn’t dream the curtsey Liz Truss made when she was presented to the new king, and if you haven’t seen it, you’re in for a treat.

The awkwardness reminded people of other things.

Actor and comedian Nerine Skinner might have homed in on the real cause, however, and her re-creation of the event might be the most relatable Liz Truss has been since she left the Lib Dems.
Correction, that’s Liv Struss – not Liz Truss. An easy mistake to make.
Nerine, whose previous Liz Truss Liv Struss sketches have been taking the internet by storm, posted the latest on Twitter and TikTok.
Here are a few favourite reactions.
