步入5月，哈里王子和梅根的婚禮也進入了緊張的倒計時~
不僅英國王室成員們跟著忙前忙後，威廉王子還承包了婚禮伴郎的身份，全英國似乎都備好了小馬紮等著扮演圍觀群眾啦（戳這裡回顧）~
為了以最佳的狀態嫁入王室，準新娘梅根可是狠下了一番功夫呢~據英國《每日郵報》報道，準王妃梅根老早就開始惡補王室禮儀啦~
突然有一種考前突擊、等待驗收的感覺是怎麼回事……
《每日郵報》：小兩口第一次公開露面後，禮儀專家深度點評梅根行為舉止：從掌握著裝要求到過於熱情的揮手
今天咱就來看看，要達到凱特王妃滴標準，梅根需要掌握哪些王室禮儀~
蹺二郎腿？沒門兒！
王室成員不能蹺二郎腿：這一點凱特王妃做得很好：這種雙膝併攏、腳踝併攏的斜腿坐姿還能有效避免走光~
Royalty should not cross their legs: something that the Duchess of Cambridge has mastered. Catherine is usually seen with her legs at one angle with a slight slant, keeping her knees and ankles together.
而女王奶奶以及卡米拉則更喜歡這種雙膝併攏，腳踝一前一後的坐姿~
The Queen and Duchess of Cornwall usually tuck one ankle behind the other, keeping their knees together when seated.
蹺二郎腿這個問題顯然是經過“提點”了，因為後來梅根的坐姿也是相當標準了呢~
還能不能開心滴散個步？貌似……很難
嫁入英國王室後，梅根要謹記一點：不能走在哈里王子前面，官方活動中非王室血統人士不能和王室血統者並排走，要走在其後面。
Once she marries into the Royal Family she will need to remember it is her future husband who walks ahead. Non-blood royalty should always be one or two steps (or more) behind blood royalty when on official engagements.
和破洞牛仔褲Say Goodbye
婚後梅根大概需要調整一下她的衣櫃了——不想讓整個王室跟著頭疼的話，破洞牛仔褲啥的肯定是要拋棄了。
The pre-(second)-marriage Meghan will need to tweak her royal wardrobe. Her penchant for ripped and distressed jeans will need to be abandoned… unless she wishes to distress the royal household.
想和王妃來張自拍合影？不能夠了……
以前和梅根自拍合影過滴小夥伴們大概可以把照片裱起來了：因為嫁入王室後梅根就不能醬發福利了。
Meghan will undoubtedly have given fans the chance for a quick selfie in her previous life, but thankfully she has already realised that royalty do not do selfies.
這項規定旨在鼓勵大家和王室成員有更多的眼神交流和對話，而不是背對著他們（十分不建議這麼做）進行自拍。
The rule was established to encourage people to make eye contact and make conversation with royals, instead of turning their backs to them (a huge no-no) to take a selfie.
想要簽名？嗯，也不太可能
梅根這炫技的花體~
考慮到簽名可能被有些人模仿，王室才制定了這項規定。那麼哪裡能看到王室成員們的簽名呢？王室文件上肯定是有噠，除此之外有時候他們也會在登記訪客記錄時簽名。
The rule stems from a fear that autographs will lead people to forge their signatures, which is why they're only allowed to sign royal documents and, sometimes, visitors' books
揮個手被吐槽像蛤蜊！溫莎式揮手學起來
When Meghan greeted press photographers on the day the engagement was announced Meghan’s wave was somewhat clam-like, with her fingers rapidly opening and closing against her palm.
她需要學一下王室傳統的“溫莎式揮手”，手臂向上抬起到合適的角度，手優雅地左右晃動就好了，顯得更儀態大方。
She will need to learn the more restrained (and easier on the hand) ‘Windsor wave’, which is much more subtle and less tiring. Her arm should extend upwards at a right angle and the hand then moves from side to side in gentle right-left motions.
凱特王妃示範版本↓↓↓
今年2月份，哈里和梅根一起訪問愛丁堡城堡時，梅根的手勢就標準多了↓↓↓
怎麼稱呼女王奶奶？唔，這是門學問
入門級的規矩估計梅根已經知道啦~第一聲稱呼肯定是“女王陛下”（ Your Majesty），後面就可以改為“Ma’am”了。
Meghan will probably have already learned that The Queen is addressed as ‘Your Majesty’ when you first see her and then, afterwards, as ‘Ma’am’.
禮儀專家William Hanson表示，雖然哈里王子會親切地稱呼女王為“奶奶”，但建議梅根還是按照上面的規矩稱呼“Your Majesty”或“Ma’am”。
Prince Harry refers to his grandmother as ‘Granny’ but I would suggest to Meghan that she sticks to the more formal ‘Your Majesty’ and ‘Ma’am’.
至於其他王室成員，包括菲利普親王、查爾斯王儲和卡米拉，以及威廉凱特夫婦，可以稱呼“Your Royal Highness”和“Sir” / “Ma’am”就可以了。
As for all other members of the Royal Family, including the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are called ‘Your Royal Highness’ and then ‘Sir’ or ‘Ma’am’ (to rhyme with jam), accordingly.
對那些年長的王室成員，梅根可能還要遵照傳統稱呼他們為“Your Royal Highness”，但年輕的就可以叫名字啦~
For older members of the family she will probably stick to protocol and call them Your Royal Highness, but for people such as William and Catherine, Beatrice and Eugenie, I suspect she will use their Christian names.
屈膝禮要不要？怎麼行禮？
目前梅根還是美國公民，所以見到王室成員還不必行屈膝禮。但成為英國公民後就不一樣啦，見到女王或其他資深王室成員時還是要行屈膝禮的。
Currently, Meghan is an American citizen and so when she meets any member of the royal family she will not need to curtsey. When she becomes a UK citizen she will, however, need to start curtseying when she greets The Queen and other senior members of the royal family.
大體上來說呢，和哈里王子在一起的時候，梅根的級別是和哈里王子一樣噠~雖然按規矩她需要向喬治小王子和夏洛特小公主行屈膝禮，但禮儀專家William Hanson覺得這大概會等到他們到了法定年齡以後。
In essence, Meghan will only take her future husband’s position on the pecking order (formerly called ‘order of precedence’) when with him. Although technically she would have to curtsey to Prince George and Princess Charlotte I suspect she won’t… not until they come of age, anyway.
舉個例子~如果梅根自己一個人在肯辛頓宮的走廊上散步，她需要向所有王室血統成員行屈膝禮。
When she is walking down a corridor at Kensington Palace on her own, she will need to curtsey to all ‘blood’ members of the Royal Family.
BUT！如果婚後老公哈里王子也在場的話，那就向更資深滴王室成員行禮就好啦~（順序按照升序依次是新出生的路易小王子、夏洛特小公主、喬治小王子、凱特王妃、威廉王子、卡米拉、查爾斯王儲、菲利普親王、女王）
When she is walking down a corridor at KP with Prince Harry (once married) she will only have to curtsey to more senior members of the British royal family. (In ascending order: Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte, Prince George, Duchess of Cambridge, Duke of Cambridge, Duchess of Cornwall, Prince of Wales, Duke of Edinburgh, The Queen).
儘管凱特有一天可能成為英國王后，但根據英國皇家2012年更新的一項新禮儀要求，威廉王子沒有陪同時，凱特需要向嫡系公主們行屈膝禮，不論公共場合還是私底下。公主們包括長公主亞歷山德拉和約克郡公爵的兩個女兒，比阿特麗絲公主和尤吉妮公主。而與威廉同行時，則只需向女王和菲利普親王、以及查爾斯和卡米拉行屈膝禮。
The Duchess of Cambridge may be the future queen, but she has discovered that there are several women in the Royal family to whom she must show reverence. The Queen updated the Order of Precedence in the Royal Household to take into account the Duke of Cambridge’s wife.
The new rules of Court make it clear that the former Kate Middleton, when she is not accompanied by Prince William, must curtsy to the "blood princesses", the Princess Royal, Princess Alexandra, and the daughters of the Duke of York, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
When William is with her, Kate does not need to bend the knee to either of them, but she must curtsy to the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
用餐禮儀：跟著女王的節奏很重要
和女王一起用餐時，無論是國宴還是家庭聚餐，梅根需要謹記：不能先於女王開始用餐。
When dining with The Queen, either at state banquets or more intimate family meals, Meghan will need to remember that she should not start eating before Her Majesty.
此外，還需要留意觀察女王的用餐速度（通常比較快）：女王用完餐時，其他人都不能繼續用餐——哪怕盤子裡還有食物也要停止用餐。
She should also keep watching the speed of The Queen’s eating (usually very quick) as she should stop eating when The Queen stops eating… even if she still has food left on her plate.
唔，簡單來說就是女王沒吃呢，誰也不能吃；女王吃飽了，別人也不能再吃了！
No one should start eating before the Monarch and no one should carry on eating after the Monarch has finished.
不能有社交媒體賬號
梅根的推特和ins已經好幾個月沒更新了，以後估計也不能再用自己的社交賬號了。
Markle's social media, including her Twitter and Instagram, have been inactive for months. As you might expect, she will no longer be able to use her own personal accounts.
像哈里王子、威廉王子和凱特王妃一樣，梅根會使用王室的官方賬號來跟大家分享自己的生活點滴。
Instead, like Prince Harry, William, and Kate Middleton, she will use the family's Kensington Royal account to share updates on her life and royal happenings.
不能塗彩色指甲油
據《OK!》雜誌報道，王室成員不允許塗深色和彩色指甲油。就算想塗，最多也就是淡淡的粉色啦~
According to sources for OK! magazine, Royal Family members are prohibited from wearing dark and colored nail polish, meaning that they stick with skin-tone shades.
除此之外，王室成員還有個不成文滴規定：
公共場所秀恩愛估計要成過去式了……
儘管哈里和梅根在公共場合牽手多次，但這種現象在王室家族是很罕見的。（確實，很少見到威廉凱特兩口子在公共場合大撒狗糧……）
雖然並沒有明文規定說不能這麼做，但不能在公共場合舉止過於親密，這在王室的確有很長時間的傳統。
像這種公眾場合小鳥依人膩歪相擁，No！
大婚前，山寨王子被拍與假梅根牽手逛街購物
十指交錯，雙手緊握，No！
鑑於梅根和哈里王子在宣佈訂婚時一直牽手，幾乎快打破這個規定了，皇室禮儀師Meier預測，這個規定會逐漸取消了。
Given that Markle and Prince Harry already almost broke this rule when they held hands during their engagement announcement, Meier predicts that this rule will slowly be fizzled out.
不許穿坡跟鞋！
原因就是——女王奶奶不喜歡！
《名利場》曾曝：
"The Queen isn't a fan of wedged shoes. She really doesn’t like them and it's well known among the women in the family."
女王不是坡跟鞋的粉絲，她真的不喜歡它們，這在王室中的女性中是眾所周知的。
之前凱特王妃hin喜歡穿坡跟鞋的↓↓↓後來……嗯，你們懂的。
唔，突然覺得，就這麼做個普通人，挺好的……
