The British royal family has an unusual tradition

The British royal family has an unusual tradition, guests at a royal dinner must stop eating when the monarch has finished eating. Is it really possible to leave a royal banquet hungry? In the days of Queen Victoria, you could really go hungry from the monarch's dinner. The thing is that Victoria ate very quickly, and it was quite difficult to keep up with her. Queen Elizabeth II had it differently. She knew very well that when she stopped eating her dish, others would also be forced to finish. So she ate in such a way that everyone else had enough time to enjoy the dish.

I've had an honor to see her in Tallinn, Estonia, 2007 or 2006.. like...4-5meters between us. Her Majesty had such a wonderful smile.

I always looked up to and admired this amazing woman. Wish she could have lived forever. RIP

Our late Queen was always thoughtful .

Our beloved late Queen Elizabeth...so sorely missed. 😢❤😢

QEII was a very nice, considerate woman. We will be hard pressed to see another Monarch like her.

The Queen was thoughtful but the rule is ridiculous. People shouldn't go hungry from your place at any cost specially if you served them a plate.

[AbdullahHussain-ri]

She was the kindest monarch of the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and she still is the kindest in our hearts 🥰

We also Arabs have such a rule, that's we DO NOT finish eating before our guests, otherwise they'd understand that they are required to leave the table ..

[alexandrudanciu]

She was wise... I know that for a fact. God bless her soul 😊

[teresapolson-ij]

Beautiful. That's stands for all she did. Amen*

[SuzAnneCollins-pelk]

Such grace and charm what a great queen 👑👑👑

[alwaystruetoblue]

Victoria would snarfle up food like a vacuum cleaner on the last day of the world, hence her enormous girth later in life, as well as not caring that others might still be hungry. QEII was a gracious and thoughtful lady who actually cared for others...she would fiddle around with her food so that others could finish. RIP Your Royal Majesty.

Just take way that rule, so guests can be really guests and eat in their pace, if possible, and not harm the country

[SandeepSingh-sgyu]

[Warandpeace-kx]

The curse of princess Dianna came back in the form of Meghan and Elizabeth got tight slapped 😂

[JessicaCooper-jf]

Victoria would eat as fast as she could just for the fun of it 😂
