英国王室一直受全球瞩目,今年9月9日英女王伊丽莎白二世打破她的曾曾祖母维多利亚女王在位63年零216天的纪录,成为英国历史上在位时间最长的君主。以女王为代表的王室成员一年到头出席各种活动,那么,有王室成员在场的时候,有哪些基本的礼仪需要注意呢?
 
The British Royal Family are busy people. Their packed itineraries1 of official engagements mean they rarely get time to sit down. And when they're out and about meeting and greeting people there are standards they expect from their humbled2 guests.
 
These standards are known as royal protocol3 – a set of customs and rules that must be met when interacting with the monarchy4.
 
Queen Elizabeth II in particular would expect everyone to stand up when she entered a room – even members of her own family.
 
Also, she would not expect you to offer a handshake until she puts out her hand - and then she would only expect it to be shaken lightly.
 
To the uninitiated, meeting any royal can be a daunting5 prospect6 – there are rules about who can speak first, where to look and what to call them. For example, the Queen would expect to be initially7 addressed as 'Your Majesty8' and thereafter as 'Ma'am'.
 
Most of the formalities date back hundreds of years. Dr Kate Williams, a historian at London's Royal Holloway University, told the BBC: "From medieval times, monarchs9 were divinely appointed to rule by God, so they were kind of seen as gods." Even now, she says "you don't kiss them, you don't touch them, you bow – over and over again."
 
Of course royalty10 only expects bowing from the men and then only a bow from the shoulders or a bob from the neck. And they'd be looking to the women to curtsy – but nothing too dramatic – a little bob is quite enough!
 
But what happens if you breach11 protocol and break the rules? Apparently12 nothing. The official website of The British Monarchy states: "There are no obligatory13 codes of behaviour when meeting The Queen or a member of the Royal Family, but many people wish to observe the traditional forms." Former BBC royal correspondent, Jennie Bond, says "all this thing about not speaking to the Queen unless you're spoken to, I don't believe that. I always used to tell her jokes!" But when The Queen finally gets to meet you, what joke would you tell her? She's probably heard them all before.
