The world loves royalty and especially royal babies. Will it be a boy or a girl? What will they name their child? How will the baby dress and act? Oh, royal baby, we can’t wait to meet you!
To Meghan and Prince Harry ~ we look forward to watching you raise your royal child. Thank you for reminding us all to add a little grace and elegance to our children and families.
5 Etiquette Lessons to Add a Little Grace to Our Families:
- Greetings
A handshake. Standing up to greet someone new and important. Using proper names while greetings. Smiling. These are all important components to mastering a royal greeting. To be a little more royal, role play and practice different greetings with your kids. - Posture
We rarely see royalty slouching. They walk and sit with poise. Their posture shows confidence and character. To be a little more royal, sit up a little straighter every day! Play a game with your kids to balance a book on his or her head. Can they walk like royalty? - Walk the Walk
Meghan Markle strikes me as a kind and respectful individual who does not judge and welcomes everyone with open arms. She seems confident and compassionate as she represents her country. To be a little more royal, practice walking in someone else’s shoes every day – with kindness and respect. Find teachable moments to show your kids little acts of kindness. - Dress Code
Throwing on a pair of sweatpants and a dirty t-shirt is not something fit for a prince or princess. They need to put a bit more thought into their style and know how to dress for the right occasion. To be a little more royal, take the time to help your child dress appropriately. Dress up and go out for a date with your child. - Social Media Respect
Always in the public eye, royalty has to approach life very carefully. The slightest mistake can cause a scandal. Social media has really taken on the same public watchful eye. Posting a compromising picture or a poor choice of words can cause a stir. We can be reminded to take those graceful steps on social media too. Prepare your kids to tackle social media the same way as royalty.
It’s never too early or too late to teach our kids etiquette! We just need a plan, have patience and be good role models. Call them royal manners and you just might get a little extra buy-in from your heirs!
