#43: Everyone Finishes to Eat When the Monarch Does
According to tradition in the royal family, when the monarch finishes eating, everyone at the table must finish their meal as well, even if they have not yet finished their own food. This custom reflects the importance of showing respect and deference to the monarch and the unique role that the family plays in British society.
While this custom may seem like a small detail, it is an important part of the family’s ongoing commitment to tradition, decorum, and respectability. And by upholding these customs and traditions, the British monarchy is able to maintain its unique and enduring place in the country’s political and social life and to uphold the values and traditions that have made it such a beloved and respected institution.
