9 Things No One Can Do When Meeting the Queen
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 พ.ค. 2024
- While most of us will probably never get a chance to meet the Queen, it couldn’t hurt to brush up on your court etiquette, just in case. No one wants to wind up being thrown out of Her Majesty’s dinner party, so you should remember the rules if you want to avoid making a royal fool of yourself. By the way, let’s just assume right here that burping or some other release of gas is forbidden, so we’ll stick to the main ones.
Did you know, for example, that using French words is considered impolite when speaking with the Queen, or any member of the royal family? Of course, breaking the rules of etiquette probably won’t get you thrown into the Tower of London in chains, or even out on the street, you should be on your best behavior if you want your royal rendezvous to go smoothly.

SUMMARY:
- You might think you look good in your tee shirt and jean shorts, and it might even be true, but that kind of outfit would get you thrown out of even the least formal royal gathering.
- Everybody likes presents, and the Queen is no exception. The practice of presenting the Monarch with a gift is a tradition going back centuries, and respecting it is a great way to get on Her Majesty’s good side.
- Have you ever wanted just to run up and give somebody a hug? Most of the time there’s no harm done, but when it comes to royalty, you’re better off keeping your hands to yourself.
- The correct way to greet Her Majesty is with a formal bow or curtsy. Don’t worry, no one’s expecting you to hurl yourself at the floor. Men are expected to bow from the shoulders, just lowering their heads out of respect.
- It’s very improper to get up and leave without permission, or to arrive late. But quite frankly, that’s just good ‘ol fashioned manners.
- Before speaking to the Queen, it’s important to take note of where exactly you’ve been seated. As a rule, the guest of honor will be seated directly to the Queen’s right, and it’s customary for Her Majesty to address them first. In general, it’s considered good form to let the Queen begin the conversation anyway.
- You might be super curious to hear the truth about some royal family drama, but the Queen is definitely the wrong person to be hassling with personal questions.
- While there have been some instances of fellow monarchs addressing one another on a first-name basis, unless you’re King Harold of Norway, you shouldn’t even think about addressing The Queen by her name.
- Another thing that’s important to remember is that when speaking with the Queen, or any member of the royal family for that matter, it’s considered impolite to use French words.

Hey there, BrightSiders! What would you tell the Queen if you met her?
Hey, cuaght ya at a good hour. What are you doing so late?
I would say "Hello"... I don't have much to say
Yo it's like 3am 😂😂
I would say "Maharani Zindabad" (long live the Queen). thank you BRIGHT SIDE
kk
Who else is watching this but NOT gonna meet the queen?
Edit:OMG THNX FOR THE LIKES *NEVER* GOTTEN THIS MANY B4
It’s fun to learn something new... beside Queen Elizabeth it’s not the only queen in this world... imagine meeting a queen and greeting them by saying "yo queen" wouldn’t it be embarrassing

The Queen drinking her immortality tea be like: How lovely
What talents does she have to deserve that position?
And they call it democracy 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hand over everything to the people. Should have done it long time back. No place for feudalistic dynasty rule in this modern merit based world.

It was normal tea. She used her last totem to be the first to receive the platinum-sapphire jubilee…
What happen if queen watched this?
Queen:so this is why people dont want to shake my hand and always bring a present for me.
XD
YAH! Queen:hmm..thats why no one speeks french or hugs me! =c..
You are the Queen
I’ll say. 😡🤐hyyuuu
Why would the queen have social media they were forbidden to use social media
"Is the queen sitting? No, so you are going to stand a bit longer"
So if the queen goes to the bathroom, I guess everyone goes to the bathroom

@@rhondahelton5611 wait really
If I was going to ask the Queen about any topic, I'd ask her about her experiences in WW2. She IS a veteran, after all, and I always love a conversation with a veteran.
exactly what came through my head
@Kefla HM*
@Kefla 💀💀💀
U can’t ask her anymore
I would tell her how much I admire and support her. Love the queen!

This is just courtesy.

Some times The Queens body language says "Oh, could you please relax and quit being too formal"
The queen speaks French fluently. A long time ago French was considered a very sophisticated language at the court.
So
That’s awesome
@@Undefinedde "So" 🤓
Cool
Aye, but there's also a bit of a taboo in the UK to not use French words. It's why elevators are called Lifts, and why toilets are called the Loo
If you really think about it, they're just people. Lol

thats true we all humans
Yup
@@MonkeyD.Raider yup
Hey i was just scrolling down when i noticed ur comment was exactly the same what i was thinking HAHAHAHAHA but ye we should treat everyone equally i mean they are just people no person is above one u know
Me: *Sees croissants on the dinner table*
Me: Can you pass me the...
Me: *Remembers I can't say french words*
Me: Curvy bread...
bruh
“Can I” wouldn’t be polite either!!! Say: “Would you mind passing me...” or “May I...“
*Curvy bread* 😂
What's the non-French name for croissant anyway?
Oh no anime crackheads everywhere
I like how he says this like we’re gonna meet the queen.
I’ve heard that when the Queen finishes one course and starts the next everyone has their first course taken regardless of whether they have finished it or not. So it pays to be a fairly quick eater.
What talents does she have to deserve that position?
And they call it democracy 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@pulz1191 that’s not your business is it? Also the meal was given by her it’s not your own there’s a difference in democracy and meeting the most important member of the society you have to follow the rules no place for savages
When I was a little girl I would make tea parties for myself and then put on a pink short fluffy dress and pretend I met the queen. I even walked across my living room with a book on my head. I dreamed of meeting her, that day will sadly not come.
Don't worry girl Dream on and dont let nothing stop you from your dream
It might actually happen, think of it this way, you decide how your life goes, you choose if you can do it, or you can't, and it's all because of choices, also not to mention the queen will never die because she is invincable.... AHEM.
That's kind
I hope her majesty sees this and actually invites you for her dinner
it might happen. don’t lose hope!
My uncle was invited to one of her formal dinner parties, and my uncle said there is no need to worry about meeting the Queen because she is one of the funniest people you will ever meet. He said there’s no need to worry about gifts just get her something like a ring or something jewellery related she won’t mind. The Queen will shake her hand to you and you shouldn’t be scared to talk to her because it’s kind of like talking to a friend.
Really?
Friendship Fun -no , this not true.
@@alexrobinson6182 yes it is!!!
She is rich then
Jk, I don't actually know
my cousins met her at sandringham as their dad/ my uncle was a head groundskeeper in norfolk. They shook her hand, thats about it.
May rest in peace your majasty 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
I'm honered, during my study years in England I was twice invited to a royal reception once at the St. James Church and the other time at the Royal Guard Chapple both in London and I met personally HRH Princess Alexandra, the direct cousin of the Queen. And both times I had the chance to speak some words with her. She asked me for example where I was from and when I answered Switzerland, she even spoke some words in Swissgerman language. On another royal reception I personlally met the former King of Jugoslwia. This reception took place at St. Margriths, just beside Westminster Abbey
What an exciting life you must lead...
What do you work as...?

5:47 "immediate next to the Queen's right", but depicts the man on her left.
I think they are positioning it on “ our “ point of view so its easier
@@davidchong7343 bbut since they ddi that, people who are used to the opposite point of view, it makes it confusing because its not the correct way in their pov.
@@JoseYTPlayz yea ik they just think in other way i was just suggesting
Lol. Namaste bhaiya. Mein bhi iye sabh drama dekh rhi hu inn british logo kein. 😂😂
@@davidchong7343 The words were "to the QUEEN'S right". So it has nothing to do with "our" point of view. The Queen's left is only one place, and you can't change it because you aren't able to explain. Duh!

Lol
Well you can say excuse me
I’m British and I do not call it and never heard anyone say ‘scent’ I’ve always called it perfume
@I_Eat_Grass, Your profile is countryhuman! Im from countryhumans too!
Because of French.
I'm almost done with school and one day I might wanna go visit
The Queen Thanks for the video It will help a lot one day
I have surprisingly already met the queen with my school and got an opportunity to talk to her at a train station and it was so cool and we didnt have to really follow any strict rules as we were all only 6 and didnt really understand 😅
I actually sung for the queen. I was about 1 meter away from her.
Was it cool my guy
Did one of ur frends record it?
@@kirbyalexisjanier442 no. Only a particular amount of people were allowed in. One of my friends saw me on TV though

"You can't use French words"
English words that originate from French language: *Am i a joke to you*
nous avons besoin de sous-titres français(we need french subtitles)
@@uditi9075 je parles un peu de frances hahaha (I can speak a little French but I can't spell easily
Ha! Déja vu...
Dude same dont understand can somebody tell me
@@uditi9075 pour qui?!
I lived in London for 4-5yrs and I will say, *every single person if met there is so polite and are the sweetest things in the world*
The queen often comes to smaller, less populated parts of the uk and is driven around while we can greet her. I remember doing this when I was about 7. Also, the queen can be seen walking around parts of London near Buckingham palace sometimes, and a couple of tourists once spoke to her not realising she was the queen!
" sup liz, how are u doin ? "
Then more than 10 riffles aim at ur head
Lollll
Lol 😅 😆 🤣
I would not mess with a rolay guard
Lol im at the dark side and same as the bright side i chose bright side
I will probably never see the queen and if that happened I would faint
Why does the queen look like she’s wearing flip flops?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The queen going to get mad
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:15 ya she looks like she is wearing flip flops
Wait, we can't even ask her about her immortality!?
well no.....it’s a curse-
An unbreakable curse
It’s a secret! It’s a... mi... mystery!
I have never heard the queen being immortal that’s not true just Rumor

Catch_Me_If_You_Can No you.
Catch_Me_If_You_Can Are you 3?
yea but hey! at least us in the uk have real history and culture, something america will never have
That's OK. We had one of those non-historical, culture-free meetings in one of our dirt-floor shacks over here, and we decided the next time you kind people are being starved out and overrun by some goose-stepping psychopath from Berlin, we'll sit it out for the most part.
Catch_Me_If_You_Can Do you know USA is in capitals and it isn’t a cancer

HOW DARE YOU
Hi
It’s funny how people aren’t even nearly as respectful whilst addressing God
That’s because religion as a whole is irrelevant to this day and age... More people would like to have a mind of their own, and educate themselves on plausible explanations and realistic philosophies of life.... why would it have any significance to how one addressed “god?” It’s man made along with the Bible and it’s philosophies...
Samuel Stanley very true
Because not everyone is religious Karen.
Umm.. because the Queens real and gods not.
Yeah but for Gods sake he doesnt exist
The one rule of etiquette that surprised me was the one about not using French words. I always thought the word etiquette came from French. I suppose the British royals prefer the word rule, which to me sounds rather restrictive.
I love your vids
Yay!! Thanks ...I have a meeting with the Queen tomorrow and this will be helpfull
This is excellent information that I will definitely need in the future!
Meeting the queen Elizabeth was my dream from when I was a kid. But I never had the chance to, so me and my cousin play as the queen and the guest so at least I could learn how to be polite, this vid helped a bit more to see the ways to act when ur with the queen! Now I can finally be the guest when we play lol thanks!!
This is so on my bucket list
I always wanted to me her. She’s someone I’ve always admired. Thanks for the heads up on how to behave and be polite if I ever meet Her Majesty.
When toilet and perfume was French I was like.BRUH
Lol there are so much english words with a little bit of french inside it
so do they not serve baguettes or croissants ):
Me too-
Same also I can speak French
that means i speek French everyday lol [not me bragging to my friends finding that out]
I just noticed bc I just watched u a year ago and came back u guys were like idk 11-13 mil how are u guys already 40mil

I'm going to meet the Queen on Tuesday I'm a bit nervous and excited at the same time
How did it go? Was it as boring as I imagine it would be?

Rules for me when you visit my home, should behave like a human when you we met, and believe me I will not consider humans as untouchable because I don't have any disease 🥰
thats right brother
Rules for meh house ACT LIKE A ANIMAL AND GOOOOOOOOOO CRAZY AND DAB
but maybe THEY could give you a disease.......
@@trudidolder6122 One year from the original comment being posted, I wonder if those rules still apply. Cough cough, is it warm in here?
Quite a few years back my sister use to be a backing singer for Suzi Quattro and one time after a performance at the Albert Hall she saw one of her friend at the after show party on the other side of the crowded room, so she worked her way through the crowd saying "excuse me" to everyone until got to the back of a middle aged lady that wouldn't move. She said "excuse me" she still didn't move, so she grabbed her around the shoulders and moved her to one side, then continued her way through the crowd.
That lady that didn't move was priceless Margaret the Queens sister.
i live in norway and have meet the king and queen. they are really nice
Love your voice
Always felt like referring to a toilet as a "loo" is the same as saying: "I'm going to the zoo". Even though a lot of public toilets do seem like the're frequented by animals....
I call it a loo alot of times lol
I think most public toilets would look cleaner if they'd only been frequented by animals.
It comes from 'lieu' (French for 'Place').
I saw the queen once in Ottawa Canada on Canada day once!
9:04 wow the 23th time bright side got me, i watch many BR vids. XD
Can't belive it is 5.30 in the afternoon and I've just watched this while still in my robe! I really must get a life lol
Didn’t know that the words toilet and perfume are French words
They are
wut
Yea..
Wut I know we all know
So they are, but the royals don't use the word 'perfume.' They use the word 'scent.' The queen has a personal and preferable 'scent.'
Love the videos🔥🔥‼️
Yo! Waz cooking. It's me Harald, top D.O double GG from Norway. What you need brah?
Yay I learned that I'm speaking French today!
I have got a letter from her majesty the Queen Elizabeth 2nd few years ago for my late friend Rambo. thanks
Me: panicking because I'm sat and I don't know if she is sat
The queen: totally sat
Me: why do I even bother?!
Cool video
Don’t have to worry about that now
i believe most of this applies to all of us not just the queen. for example you cant just touch anyone or ask them personal questions.
Hello bright side I live in. England I always watch you
I learned everything in this video
I met the queen for completing my schools “duke of Edinburghs award gold” she was nice and her corgis were so cute and loved us
Like how Obama gave her an iPod of his speeches 🤣😂
Me: really deep down into the comment section
Ad in the middle of the video: *Ima bout to end this mans whole career*
So mate ya thing a blooming ad is bad my telly broke... No I'm not actually British and don't talk like that
you: prepares to take selfie with the queen
THEN the whole crowd starts shooting cutlary at you
Obviously respect her, but it is rather amusing how ppl forget she is just human like us. 😁

Seriously my friends, she is a human being, no different them any other. I met her when i was 9 years old. She does not expect people outside of her circle to know royal etiquette. Just be polite and courteous.
