In the HBO documentary, Queen of the World,
Over the years, Queen Elizabeth has perfected her own tricks for achieving her "friendly but not "everybody's friend" balancing act. "One of her most effective strategies simply lies in the way she shakes people's hands," Kozlowski writes.
Explaining to one mourner, he said: “I'd love to shake hands, but have you seen how many people there are here? They'd [my hands would] fall off!”
Chatting about her life as a working royal, she said, "We never shook hands. She said that, in the early days of her royal life, "'The theory was that you couldn't shake hands with everybody, so don't start. So I kind of stick with that, but I noticed others don't."
However, according to Grant Harrold, royal expert and director of the Royal School of Etiquette, there's a certain way royals like Prince Harry and William were taught to create the perfect shake. "A royal handshake should consist of two-to-three pumps, with your palms open and thumbs down." explained Harrold.
"Without William, Kate would curtsy to Camilla; with him, she would not," the source continued. "That's unless Prince Charles is present, in which case she would." The order of curtsying, however, can change. This could happen when people marry into the family.
What Kate called the Queen. While the rest of the world is required to address Queen Elizabeth as Ma'am or your majesty, those closest to her are allowed to refer to her as Mama, according to Ingrid Seward, the editor of Majesty magazine. Sign up to British Heritage Travel's daily newsletter here!
It was a time of great change in the royal family (Anne divorced her first husband Captain Mark Phillips in 1992 and remarried her current husband Tim Lawrence later that year), and some have speculated that her unchanging hairstyle was a way to reflect her consistency and desire to get on with things.
The queen had four children: Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward. Although Anne is older than two of her brothers, she is farther down the line of succession because of an old law that allowed men to skip over women in the line.
Queen Anne did all this while disabled by her poor health, and while negotiating an increasingly difficult relationship with Lady Sarah Churchill. The death of her beloved husband Prince George at Kensington Palace from severe asthma on 28 October 1708 left her devastated.
Breaking Dawn links sex and danger, at least initially. Before Bella becomes a vampire, sex with Edward poses a serious threat to her. Edward is afraid that he'll accidentally kill Bella, and she does indeed wake up covered in bruises after they first have sex. However, Bella doesn't seem to mind.
Edward also displays many stereotypical characteristics of abusers. First, one of his hallmark characteristics is his control over Bella and his attempts to isolate her from others. Abusers often use this tactic as a way of ensuring that their victims have no way to escape should they attempt to do so.
Edward constantly fears for Bella's safety. Though he is scared when James decides to track Bella, he's most worried about himself hurting Bella. Edward points out how ridiculous it is that Bella is afraid of dancing. When she's not in any real danger, her courage seems to drain away.
And as to putting one's clothes on, contrary to popular belief the Queen actually dressed alone. The monarch also did her own make-up for most events, with the exception of her annual Christmas speech, for which a make-up artist was employed.
The duke recalls meeting Camilla, whom he and his brother called “the other woman,” for the first time, and notes that it was far from a pleasant experience for him. He described their introduction as an “injection,” for which he had to brace himself.
Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick, would be 43rd in the line of succession had he not converted, making him the most senior person to be excluded from the line of succession for being a Roman Catholic. His sister Lady Marina Windsor also lost her place when she was confirmed into the Catholic Church.
What disease affected Queen Anne? Anne, queen of Great Britain, suffered from various health problems, among them attacks of gout, an inflammatory disease of the joints that causes sudden and severe pain. She spent much of her life in poor health.
Anne never enjoyed good health, and the almost constant pregnancies that ended in miscarriages did not help. She became pregnant 17 times, but only one child lived, William, who became the Duke of Gloucester.
“In her reign of 70 years, the Queen's hair has remained just as steadfast as her ruling, with a few small exceptions over the years," she explains. "The Queen's style allowed her to embrace her natural curls, kept off the shoulder – usually sitting around her jaw length – and always perfectly coiffed."
While there will seemingly be a purge at Clarence House and among the personal staff, the vast majority of employees at the royal palaces will remain in post. The staff payroll was £23.7m in 2022.
“It's well known that Princess Anne and her ex-husband and father of their children, Captain Mark Phillips, rejected titles for their children,” McMahon says. “So they do not put HRH before their names. They are still in line to the throne, but the late queen's offer of titles was firmly rejected.
Prince Harry on Monday paid an emotional tribute to his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, calling her his "guiding compass", and vowing to "honour" his father in his new role as king.
Sweet. Despite the fact Queen Elizabeth II was officially called 'Ma'am' or 'Your Majesty' to the majority of people, Prince William and Prince Harry were let off the hook when it came to the Queen, and were always encouraged to call her 'Granny'.
After marrying Charles, Diana's relationship with the Queen was said to be "second to none" and she even – supposedly – called the Queen "mama" at times.
