Princess Anne, 74, narrowly avoided breaking royal protocol during a state banquet at Buckingham Palace, where she was supposed to toast the Emir of Qatar but quickly recovered from almost missing the toast.
Princess Anne successfully managed to avoid breaking the royal protocol during the lavish state banquet thrown for the Emir of Qatar at Buckingham Palace this week.
As Anne brought her glass towards her, she soon realized that she forgot to toast the Emir of Qatar as she nearly took a sip. Earlier this week, the Prince and Princess of Wales joined the Qatar royals at the Horse Guards Parade, where Charles welcomed the royal couple.The Sheikh, 44, and his first of his three wives, Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani, 39, were greeted by the British royals in London for the couple’s two-day visit to England.Meanwhile, Middleton, 42, attended Tuesday’s daytime festivities — which marked her first state visit since her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
Anne, who is all too familiar with the royal family’s order of precedence, “smiled and politely refused” — instead welcoming Camilla to enter the room first.Anne’s close-call comes just weeks after politely blocked her sister-in-law, Queen Camilla, from breaking royal protocol during a recent royal engagement.During public-facing duties, royals are expected to respect the “sequential hierarchy of nominal importance,” meaning that their majesties are to always enter the room first.
