The Biggest Mistakes Everyone Makes When They Meet The Queen

One of the best stories about meeting the queen was told by someone who was most excited about doing so -- but forgot to put her cell phone on "silent." As the queen greeted her, her phone rang. The poor woman was mortified until the queen smiled and said, "You should get that, Dear. It might be someone important."

What a amazing woman the Queen really was so intelligent ,so politically knowledgeable ,so loved and respected ,so warm and charming !!she was a icon who will never see the likes of her again !! She will be missed !!

Johnson was helping HM w the stairs. Ok a breach BUT he was being a gentleman 🇬🇧💖🌹

When I was 7 I saw the Queen in a parade. I was waving my British flag as she was driving past and she poked Phillip and pointed at me.

So much of this "advice" is simply good manners which we should display towards everyone, including social media!

I admire the Queen so very much! It is a thrill to see her beautiful, bright outfits in all these photos! Her clothing shows her spunk! Just adore her! 💖

*I am so grateful that you mentioned the word "paralyzed." that clearly describes me when I shook hands with the Queen, trying to remember what to say, and hoping that she offered her hand. I still cannot remember the event."

She is 95 and yet so energetic and strong her sense of humour too is very incredible long live the queen

It would be a dream come true to meet Queen Elizabeth, such a global icon. What an amazing life lived, if only to be in her presence to just observe and listen. Watching videos like this is the closest most of the the world will come.

My Grandma was my Queen. R.I.P.

She is simply extraordinary.

Old polite traditions spread out and people practice, basically just common sense, with the current Royal Family could appear to be over the top but it's so you don't forget, it's like setting an example.

The Queen is so precious to us all in Great Britain. She was so beautiful in her young days and she is still beautiful bless you Marm.

This is the loveliest Queen. She has done an outstanding Job. Long Live our Gracious Queen. Do not ever want her to die it will be a horrib;e empty day of tears & unconsolable sadness. She has been so important.

big hug from me to Queen Elizabeth 2nd 💜🙏🙌

The rule prohibiting touching the queen is actually a very practical one. She meets an average of over 50,000 people a year. She cannot afford to get sick as that would reduce the number of appearances she makes. The more people she has contact with the more likely she is to catch something. This in part is why she almost always wears gloves at such events. It wasn't until fairly recently that it was realized that invading her personal space like so many people have, also increases the risk of illness to her. One of the few items she keeps in her purse is hand sanitizer which she has carried for years.

The queen is still so beautiful and can only be described as absolutely striking. ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

Queens are never late. Everybody else is early. -Julie Andrews, The Princess Diaries 2.

In the 1980's I managed to shake hands with Prince Charles  .. I was so overwhelmed , I couldn't speak as he reached out to shake my hand . He looked at me for about 5 seconds realizing my predicament ,he smiled, said thank you and moved on because his wife Dianna was calling out to him. I was so embarrassed... I felt like a complete idiot ..

The only thing more important than the queen is her peoples, to whom she has served dutifully and without putting a foot wrong for 70 years. Only people who understand constitutional monarchy can appreciate the priceless value of having a monarch as head of state.
