Following the rules of etiquette is an obligatory condition for well-mannered people. And it’s especially important when meeting a member of the royal family. That’s why you should prepare thoroughly for such a crucial event in order to keep your reputation.

Basically, protocol rules concerning meetings with monarchs are inside laws as they don’t imply any kind of responsibility. For many commoners, this is a tribute to the people who are a role model of the nation. Therefore, they are addressed according to their title (queen, king, prince, princess), women drop curtsies, and men bow.
Stars that have broken the rules
However, unexpected things happen and rules of etiquette get broken from time to time. Quite often, the members of the British royal family do it themselves, as well as persons in high position or celebrities who are well aware of the etiquette rules. Situations may differ.
Angelina Jolie
The famous actress came to the meeting at the Buckingham Palace wearing a lavender jacket and a skirt, open-toe shoes and, most likely, no tights. Unacceptable dress code for a guest of the royal family!
Barack Obama
If you’re sitting at the same table with the Queen, you should follow her lead. However, the American ex-president gave toasts whenever he felt like it and even during the performance of the God Save the Queen!
George Bush

While giving a greeting speech on account of meeting the monarch, the ex-president of the U.S. made a miscalculation and said that Queen Elizabeth II has been ruling since the 18th century. Upon realizing his blunder, he turned around and winked at her. The Queen kept calm.
David Beckham
The famous football player and model bragged about his visit to Buckingham Palace where he allegedly asked the Queen to grant him the title of a knight. He didn’t technically break any rules, yet it just feels wrong.
