Expressing Gratitude
Alongside her delightful smiles and friendly waves, the young Princess Charlotte has inherited her parents’ knack for extending greetings with a handshake. While Royal protocols usually call for a bow or curtsey when meeting a royal family member, accepting a handshake is also considered acceptable if it is offered. There was one occasion when Princess Charlotte disembarked from a flight and joyfully shook hands with the crew, expressing her heartfelt gratitude for their service, even after her mother’s gentle reminder. This act of genuine appreciation beautifully showcases Princess Charlotte’s warm nature and the values instilled within the royal family. It’s a lovely reminder that expressing gratitude can leave a lasting impact and make others feel valued.
