Made a bob on getting to meet the Queen? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

curtsied

'made' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'a bob on getting to meet the queen?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'bob' could be 's' (abbreviation for shilling - 'bob' before 1971) and 's' is present in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'queen?' could be 'r' (abbreviation for regina, e.g. in ER ) and 'r' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

(Another definition for curtsied that I've seen is " Bent the knees as a gesture of respect".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
