The high etiquette shown by the Royal children at Saturday’s wedding can influence the quality of parental upbringing.
Plenty of practice goes into the preparation of the children’s functions at these sort of high profile weddings. Parental upbringing includes the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood.
Royals, children have the privileged benefit of being trained in thorough preparation for the wedding. The Royal children had undergone several hours of diligent rehearsals for this wedding. This is true, but so is the fact that rehearsals and quality training can be invested in children from a young age. They simply need to be taught the standard of behaviour expected of them in various circumstances, and they can reproduce it perfectly when in those circumstances.
Prince George, 4, Princess Charlotte, 3, and their eight cohorts comprising several of the royal couple’s godchildren and friends’ children, accompanied Meghan down the aisle in full view of the watching world. Myka Meier of Beaumont Etiquette, which teaches courses on etiquette at The Plaza Hotel in New York City, says the impeccable presentation is the result of practice, practice, practice.
“Etiquette training for the royals starts as soon as they’re old enough to sit at a table,” Meier says. “They are raised having formal meals, going to formal events and practising everything from voice levels to dressing appropriately to even, of course, how to curtsy and bow. The children in the wedding would have been very well prepared through rehearsals and even learned wedding specific behaviour and protocol.”
CONSCIOUSNESS
The consciousness of the watching world would play its role in the commitment to learning and be perfecting the assigned roles. Children can be taught to expect that their conduct in school and public places can get back to their parents, but the parents would need to present themselves respectably before the children. Parents who get high on drugs in the presence of their children should accept their behaviour is very foolish and irresponsible, just as bad as the parent that doesn’t know they should not be getting recklessly drunk, or even drunk at all, in the presence of children. Children tune into their environments and respond to the positive and negative energies around them.
The Royals are masters of etiquette, this comes through generations of practice, perfection, and modernization. The final product of perfect synchronicity can essentially be generated by parents who train their children through direction and regular practice. If children have it grilled in their heads at home and at school to say no to drugs, most will automatically respond accordingly if they have been thoroughly taught about its many dangers to life in terms of health and the fatalities that arise from drug-related activities.
As we appreciated the beauty of the Royal children’s poise and perfect conduct for this big Royal wedding, we can also learn from the positives that accompany its truths. The children knew it was a massive occasion in celebrating the union, and so must children be taught that there will be many big occasions in their life worth preparing for since those occasions can define their future.
Prince Harry and Meghan were united as husband and wife on Saturday. It was beautiful to watch them as they read their vows, though the real test will come in the future with respect to whether their marriage lasts. How they deal with any challenges they may face. They will need to set a high standard for people to value marriages and the vows they make when there are bonded together. Celebrities often betray these vows and expose their wrong choice of partner.
In the case of Prince William and Meghan Markle, we have to hope it works out for them. We must encourage them, and not even encourage unnecessary media stories that can frustrate their marriage unless they are highly in public interest. There is nothing better than a beautiful relationship that lasts, even ordinary relationships outside marriage seeks that permanent and lasting love and bond.
