4. Don't buy your own tiara。
According to Hanson, one should never, ever buy one's own tiara. You should only wear one if the royal family were to give you one, or if your family has a tiara. Only married members of the royal family should wear tiaras, says Hanson. 。
5. Don't touch the Queen。"Michelle Obama famously put her arm around the Queen, which is a big no no. And LeBron James once hugged the Duchess of Cambridge," said Hanson. 。
"Do not touch the Queen. Do not kiss the Queen," Hanson continued. 。

Shaking hands would not, however, be out of the question.。"If she were meeting Prince Charles for the first time, it wouldn't be wrong to shake his hand. She should wait for Prince Charles to extend his hand. I'm sure he'd be thrilled to meet her," Hanson continued.。
When speaking directly to the Queen, Harry's partner would have to call her "Your Majesty". When talking about the Queen, she would have to say "Her Majesty" or "the Queen was saying..." 。

For everyone else in the royal household, she would have to say "His/Her Royal Highness", "Ma'am" or "Sir," according to Hanson.。
