Navigating the world of royal etiquette can be a terrifying prospect—just ask anyone who has ever been presented to The King or Queen. How low does one curtsy, and when? Are you allowed to ask questions? And which fork gets used first? Britain's leading etiquette expert, William Hanson, tells Marie Claire that the Royal Family is making "micro" changes under King Charles's reign, but Prince William and Princess Kate will continue to modernize royal etiquette for the 21st century.
Hanson, whose new book Just Good Manners, was released May 27, says that in terms of etiquette after Queen Elizabeth's death, "you can see the changes and they are slow changes. These aren't huge great big jumps forward, and they're really micro, but they all add up."
