#42: Queen Elizabeth II Would Make it Clear When a Conversation Was Over
Considering she was the head of the British monarchy and one of the world’s most high-profile public figures for more than 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II developed a unique set of customs and traditions that reflected her position and role in British society. One of these customs was her use of a discreet signal to indicate when a conversation is over.
The Queen’s signal typically involves a subtle movement or gesture, such as a glance or a nod, that indicates to her aides or companions that it is time to move on or wrap up the conversation. This allowed her to gracefully and discreetly exit a conversation while still maintaining the dignity and respect that is befitting of her position.
