How to Introduce Yourself to a Royal Family Member

[@royalchannel]

Did you already know these Royal protocol hacks? What did you learn?

[@carmelitajones7779]

Not all of them. I thought I saw the clip before but not too sure. I learned the perfect curtsy from watching the video of Princess Catherine curtsy to HM. I did notice the cultural differences between the UK and US. For us, we refer to men and women in general as sir/ma'am. So, that seems a bit awkward to me to start as YM or YRH then pivot to a common address. I think psychologically the protocol is correct in people not constantly feeling the difference in status but it would take getting used to. I have questions about it though- just out of curiosity. Should a curtsy be as quick as possible or a few seconds? Is the curtsy for everybody or only the subjects of the crown? This is an interesting video. I love to see the Royals with all those people who get all excited and forget.🤣🤣 The people they meet rarely ever get it right. It's the look of joy and then freeze.🤣🤣

It's not compulsory to bow or curtsey when meeting the Queen or other members of the Royal Family It's entirely up to the individual. I don't think the Queen or any other members of the Royal Family lose any sleep because someone they met didn't.

[@royalchannel]

That's true!

[@Chahlie]

Knowing how to curtsy is also a good way to get out of having to hug someone. Simply taking the step back and putting out your hand gets yourself out of their range :) Men are supposed to let ladies take the lead on whether it's to be a handshake or just a bow but.....

I would love to meet the Queen first then William and Kate lol I think I would get so nervous and forget what to do 🤣😂 lots of love and prayer and good Health for HER Majesty ♥️

[@Chahlie]

Ah, but that's the thing about etiquette- it's something that once learned, is second nature. That's why the rules are so nice to have- we all know where we stand so to speak :)

[@anitaelghandor7295]

The Queen is so amazing,I never get tired of watching her Majesty 😁👍🎉💚

[@BobbyDazzler888]

Why? Wheres are grandmothers? Worship your own bloodline, not someone elses.

[@annedavis3746]

I told my Scottish friends perhaps I shouldn't meet Princess Anne because I would not curtsy. I did not wish to be insulting, and I knew my stiff-necked American Irish self would not bend a knee. My friends just laughed and said she won't care, she'll figure it out when you speak. So I met her, and she didn't bat an eyelash. My impression was she had a wonderful complexion. Novar House, Riding for the Disabled, about 1990. But I do believe I would curtsey to HMTQ. Her enduring care of Britain and the Commonwealth is due the most profound admiration.

[@ravelanone9462]

American citizens do not and should not curtsy or bow deeply to a foreign royal. That behavior is for subjects, not for free foreigners.

[@sinclairjg]

[@Chahlie]

Apart from the curtsy, it's pretty much how you would meet any other person. But the title is misleading- I think you ought to wait to be introduced. Apart from what forms of address to use and precedence in receiving lines, it's just common etiquette.

[@orlanjfinnis4290]

Might I add, you will probably be introduced to the member of the royal family, not you introduce yourself.

[@Chahlie]

I agree- I cringed at the title. Unless they asked your name for some reason, you would be introduced by the host who is moving down the receiving line with them.

[@thelastmedici4764]

A highly respectful hand shake like you do it wit everyone ( it is enough, no need to bow or even low your head... Because that is a sign of submission...!!!) And as humans we should already treat everyone with respect, despite of social status, ranking profession, etc...Unless one meets people from other cultures 😉 that is a totally different issue. And please look the person eyes to eyes do not lower your eyes👀 that indicates submission also.

[@madlonglenn8743]

Yes....Americans do not curtsey to any Royalty....it is proper etiquette not to curtsey.

[@Chahlie]

It's much like the use of titles. Titles are only applicable in your own country, except for 'The Queen of England'. People who are not considered her 'subjects' are not expected to treat her as their regent. A certain ex royal couple ought to get themselves a copy of Emily Post's etiquette guide.

[@slinman100]

I saw Princess Catherine curtsy as the Queen drove away from a church service. What was that about?

The Royal family must bow or curtesy to each other in their order. The Queen is the highest, so everyone must bow and curtesy to her no matter what.

I would wait for them to acknowledge me first then if they reach out for my hand I extend it and bow slightly for a man. Or if spoken to and that’s all I simply acknowledge such as Good morning or Goodafternoon Your Royal-- If the Queen reaches out I extend and bow deeply to her and simply say It is truly a pleasure to speak to you your Majesty. If she continues a conversation I would then pay close attention and show her I’m listening politely and answer her questions or perhaps say “Yes Ma’am.” And finally if I sense she’s ready to move on I wait and if she gives some type of a goodbye or nice meeting you then I would simply reply with “It was a great pleasure to meet you also your majesty.

How to introduce yourself? You don’t. The person in charge introduces YOU TO THE ROYAL. But if you are in a crowd to see the Queen, you just go straight in as I have always done…..”Your Majesty/Your Royal Highness..…I have these flowers for you from my garden”. I’ve always had an ‘interested’ reply. From Pss Anne, because I’ve given her flowers so often, she’s often said before I could “Ah. From your garden I presume”.
