If and when (we can be optimistic!) you get the honour of meeting anyone in the royal family, you’ll want to act on your most polite behaviour, excusing yourself when necessary.

But whatever you do, don’t say “pardon”.

We may think it’s formal, but apparently, it’s like a curse word to the royals.

Instead, say “sorry” or “sorry, what?”
