Hey there! Let's talk about Meghan Markle. She’s getting ready for her first royal tour as Prince Harry's wife, and it's shaping up to be a big moment for the couple. From October 16 to October 31, they're set to visit Australia, Fiji, the Kingdom of Tonga, and New Zealand. But before they jet off, Meghan is reportedly going through some intense protocol training. It’s like prepping for a big job interview, except the stakes are a little higher when you're representing the royal family!
What’s Meghan Up To? A Deep Dive Into Royal Protocol
So, what exactly is Meghan doing to get ready? Well, according to Myka Meier of Beaumont Etiquette — who, by the way, was trained by someone who used to work for Queen Elizabeth herself — Meghan has a whole team of royal aids at her disposal. These aids are there to help her every step of the way, whether it's figuring out what to wear or brushing up on important topics to discuss during her engagements. “As a senior member of the Royal family, she’s not just along for the ride,” Meier explained to Cosmopolitan.com. “She has roles and responsibilities to fulfill on behalf of the family. She’ll be briefed ahead of each event on the important people she’ll meet and how to greet and address them. It’s all about showing respect to the people she’s meeting. From helping her choose her outfits to guiding her on cultural nuances, the team ensures she’s fully prepared for each stop on the tour.”Read also:In My Wildest Dreams Book A Journey Through Fantasy And Reality
More Details on Meghan's Preparations
Meier went on to say, “Senior Royals have a whole team of aids within the palace who help them prepare for every event they attend and speak at. They’re briefed on who they’ll meet, and any significant protocol behind addressing important guests, as well as any political, religious, or cultural sensitivities to be aware of.” It’s a lot to take in, right? Imagine having to remember all that while looking fabulous in front of millions of people. But hey, that’s the life of a royal!Traveling and Cultural Adaptation
Now, here’s the interesting part. While Meghan is preparing to follow the Queen’s rules, Meier notes that traveling can sometimes make it challenging to stick to the script. “When traveling, we often see the Royals adopt the customs and culture of the country they’re in,” she added. “For example, if in a country they visit, it’s a sign of respect to dress a certain way, they’ll do so. And guess what? We often see Royals wearing outfits from local designers to show respect and support for the country they’re visiting.” This flexibility shows that while tradition is important, adapting to the local customs is equally crucial.
