About This Quote

When you are meeting a Royal figure, it is imperative that you follow a particular protocol. First of all, it is important that you don't look the monarch in the eyes as doing so will be seen as disrespectful. This is because no one wants to see a person they're meeting looking down on them, as this would show that the person is not of the same status as the monarch. Secondly, when greeting a Royal, it is important that you don't bow low low low low low low low low.

This is because that would be seen as a display of disrespect and a sign of inferiority. Instead, it is best to bend your head slightly and nod at him/her. Thirdly, before sitting down, make sure that your back is straight and your knees are together with your hands placed in your lap.

This part seems unnecessary but it is actually extremely important as using this method will ensure that you don't accidentally reveal something about yourself such as an open fly or excessive amounts of chest hair. Lastly, it isn't okay to talk to royalty directly as they are incredibly busy people and do not have time for nonsense or chatter from anyone else. Instead, point out things around them in order to get their attention; if they look interested then you can start chatting but if they don't then you can simply move on to someone else in the room.
