These Are The Only People Who Can Visit The Queen Uninvited

What a dream it must be to meet Queen Elizabeth II. Such an honor is highly unlikely for most people, but for those who are fortunate enough to be in Her Majesty’s presence, it must truly be special. Of course, as one might expect, there are rules you must follow if you ever meet the Queen. But do these rules apply to everyone?
People can’t just drop in to greet the Queen whenever they please. But what about her family and those in her inner circle? Are they able to stop by for a surprise visit? These are the only people who can visit the Queen uninvited.

My late dad was on duty at Balmoral Castle in Scotland during the 1950’s, when he served in the Gordon Highlanders. He attended a ball while there with the royals in residence. Apparently you cannot ask them for a dance, they have to request it….first he danced with princess margaret, the queens sister, followed by a dance with the queen mother. As he told the story, the queen mother told him her daughter’s thought he was very handsome in his kilt, and she was quite inclined to agree……he also had to sign the official secrets act on several occasions, he took those secrets with him…..much to my dismay 😂

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm sorry most people don't follow this important rule of etiquette. I don't drop in on my own mother without phoning first and giving plenty of notice. I never have. A friend was wondering if she could put a discreet sign on her door to indicate whether or not she's receiving visitors. I encouraged her to do so. Now I'm thinking about getting one myself. I'm annoyed that people feel free to drop by to visit when I'm not expecting them. I don't drop in on others unannounced or unexpected, so I'm perplexed as to why others think it's acceptable to do so. As I feel no obligation to answer the door and almost never do, the real wonder is that they keep coming by, even after I've informed them I don't answer the door unless I'm expecting someone. The best rule, imo, is to not go to anyone's home unless you are invited. If you want to see someone, invite them to your home, to meet you for a meal or a coffee at a restaurant, or for a walk at a local park.

Since I was of a young age my father was senior officer in the military and we lived on a military base. Two or three times a year my parents took me and my brother to the officers' mess on Sundays for multi-course meal, with lots and lots of cutlery / silverware / flatware, and with at least 4 courses. There we were taught how to pull a chair, to sit with good posture, how to lay a napkin, how to spoon soup (you spoon it away from you), how not to stare, how to engage in polite conversation ... and how to respect the waiting staff ... but most of all ... how to enjoy it. It's a privilege that not everyone has.

[@dslcp72]

I wouldn’t exactly say that dining in the Officers Mess is a privilege… I did it for years, and it always ruined my appetite… rules, rules, rules. Ridiculous rules.

Oh that rule that you can’t go to bed before the Queen is ridiculous. When you are young like Diana was and pregnant you get very sleepy and the desire to sleep is overwhelming.

She does. My mother was married to a Bermudian Member of Parliament and they always had to attend receptions, dinners, etc., when royals, heads of state, etc., were on the island. On one occasion at one of these events, my mother was standing near enough to Her Majesty to be able to ask her a question (my mother liked to push boundaries sometimes!). The question was about H.M.'s beloved corgis. The Queen answered back! There is a risk of doing that because, if she does not want to answer, she can just ignore you, but the Queen is actually pretty down to earth and does a perfect job of balancing being a human being, and being an icon who has to carry the weight of over a thousand years of tradition on her shoulders.

They have to stop eating the moment the Queen puts down her fork, too. I suppose if you have a healthy appetite, you know to eat in advance because your Queen was chunky by nature, so couldn't eat much in order to control her weight.

[@cefcat5733]

Humans make up the most rigid rules for themselves and others. There are much worse ones than these. A bus driver did not eat all day, due to his spiritual beliefs. OK, but he drove his bus and passengers, through a city store window. That got mention all over, photos and everything. Standing straight up on a parade grounds might make you, alone, fall over because you passed out on the field, instrument and all. You might then appear on the nightly news, with your tuba. Watch the immediate looks, if you put the silverware in the wrong order on your dinner table. Wear black every day forever, after the loss of a loved one, or be assigned different uniform colors, according to your job status category. Life seems long but it is really short. Be kind to others as Life is strange enough. My worst one was sitting all day at school, on a hard chair with a slanting downward desk, all put in rows so you couldn't see the blackboard over your classmates' heads. There are other ways to arrange furniture, especially, for an 8 hr shift for small children....with breaks, just like at work, later. So, the point is? The Queen I have watched, my whole life, is very human, after all.

Diana (though other factors involved) Fergie were both thrown in at the deep end and learned the hard way.

Sorry for my English it's late right now and feeling sleepy so I can't type or think right and I have nothing against the queen or the royal family there or any royal family but sometimes i think respect has a limit and if we go over it it becomes a negative thing and builds walls between people and in a way that's sad to know that the queen had to live in a certain standards just because she's the "QUEEN" and culture plays a role too..! I come from Saudi Arabia and our royals at the end of the day are from the same families or background as us we're kinda the same roots so that helps grounding them and it goes the same with all the gulf countries but yet again i don't wanna paint this fake picture there is many royals who are evil at heart but that's the rare case and cause they're humans like us but most of the known royals or the ones who're high in their roles are humble and grow up learning that if it wasn't for the people love and support you won't be a "thing" so i get why there is protocols and stuff and i stand with it but I just think some cases in this video is overexaggerated and it shouldn't be like that it's building a rift or a wall between normal people and their leader at the end of the day we're all humans and just because you were born in a royal family doesn't mean you should be treated like a god but they should be treated with respect same as any human you meet for the first time... but i get it we live in a world that love sorting us into classes and ranks sadly! all love and respect for my fellow UK people.

Some have been saved - especially the ones worn for memorable events. HM wears her working wardrobe multiple times. I follow royal fashion and have noticed HM wearing outfits from ten or fifteen years ago popping up again. When she is finished with a dress or a coat, inside labels indicating the garment had belonged to her are removed and she hands them along to her ladies-in-waiting who then disperse them to ladies who could use them. Some of her dresses have been handed along again. Her evening gowns are worn multiple times as well but, of course, are not suitable to handing along to others. She also wears her hats many times each. I’ve read in multiple books and articles that she is frugal, like her father. She hates to waste things.
