'I was King Charles’ butler for 7 years - these are his dinner party rules' affiliate
When it comes to being a working royal, there are lots of reported protocols that must be followed both in public and behind the Palace walls. From dressing modestly to not using social media, being a royal has its own rules and regulations. The same can apply for guests of the Royal Family too.
The golden dinner rules “The royal household is very traditional with their dinner party rules. The gentlemen will always wait until all the ladies are present before they sit down and, if they can, they will assist the ladies to their seats first. Guests then place napkins on their lap – if the ladies use their napkin to dab their lipstick, they fold it over so the stain isn’t visible. The napkins are big enough so that this can be done several times.
The only time where it’s suitable to go to the bathroom is after the main course as that’s when one conversation ends. He has to live his life very precisely – even if he’s just one minute late it will throw off the schedule for the entire day. This will definitely be the case for the coronation. The butlers will run a very tight ship, and assist Charles in every way they can.”
Manners don’t cost anything “King Charles treats everyone with the same respect. He had an appreciation for what I did, and was an excellent boss. I remember one of his guests wasn’t saying please or thank you when I was serving them. Charles began to thank me even more than usual, saying, “I really appreciate that” when I placed down his meals and drinks. Before long, the guest followed suit. He subtly made them change their behaviour. He taught me a lot about kindness and fairness.
