During carriage ride who was Prince Williams saluting and why did Kate bow her head?

During the carriage ride back to the palace I noticed that sometimes when Prince William would have to salute, his bride would noticeably bow her head ? What was the reason for that protocol? He seems to give a tender notice to her when this action would take place.

    They passed the British flags. William is an officer in the British military. It is his duty to salute. Kate bows her head out of respect. She is NOT in the military so her role as royalty is to bow her head during the official ceremony route while William salutes.
