Didn't William request that there be no bowing/curtseying when he visited Australia. Maybe he'd prefer if people didn't?
My take on that is protocol was followed and people bowed and did a curtsy out of respect. Due to the nature of some of the visits and why he was there, maybe William felt it was them that should be shown concern and respect and when meeting them, he said "Just call me William" and such to put the entire thing into perspective. It was because of THEM he was there.
Something like that would never ever happen at an official state function.
Protocol is all around us and not only in the royal families.
