His Majesty Must Obey – Discover The British Monarchy’s Rules For King Charles
Stop Eating Once the Monarch Is Done
No matter how hungry, a British royal must always take their cue from the Monarch. That means that once King Charles puts down his cutlery, everyone else must follow suit, regardless of whether they’ve finished eating.
Royal etiquette requires diners to place their cutlery at the 6:30 position—imagine that the plate is a clock face and the cutlery are the clock hands—with the tines of the fork facing upwards. That tells the staff that they can clear the plate.
