“You’ve got the Queen doing Zoom calls. I think that’s amazing!” Grant Harrold tells me over Zoom a few days later. Harrold is a royal etiquette expert, and former royal butler who was a member of the Royal household of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall from 2004 to 2011. Mostly, the royals have had to adapt and learn on the fly, just like the rest of us.

And instead of greeting people in formal halls or event spaces, they’ve called in from their private chambers.
