      I think you will find that was her mum, queen Elizabeth, not queen Elizabeth the 2nd, the queen mother(queen Elizabeth) was not the monarch, just married to, like the Duke of Edinburgh isn't the king, just a prince, but due to the rules of the time a male air to the thrown his wife becomes honorary queen, but because queen Elizabeth the 2nd is female, the Duke of Edinburgh can't be called a king, simple lol. Princess Margaret was there though.

    Dining etiquette : The hostess always starts table conversation with the person to her right. Lewis was on the Queen's left, and that's why he had to wait. My grandmother taught that to us. The Book of Etiquette by Lady Troubridge was her bible.

    • @Feareireann
      @Feareireann 7 лет назад +121

      Firstly, no they aren't the same. Secondly, Wogan was a British citizen. He was also born before 1949, before Ireland became a republic, so he was eligible having been born a citizen of one of 'His Majesty's dominions'. As he had lived most of his life in the UK, he decided late in life to use that to get out British citizenship, so he had both Irish and British citizenship. Fourthly, Bob isn't a knight, though the media wrongly say he is. He got an HONORARY knighthood, which is a different thing. So technically he isn't 'Sir Bob Geldof' just 'Mr Bob Geldof, KBE'. Ronald Reagan was also an honorary knight. Graham could be offered an honorary honour. Irish citizens who receive them, whether from the Queen of the UK, some other country, or the pope, have to first have the approval of the Irish Government before they accept them, but the government always says yes.

      It is a rule that, in the first part of the meal, the Queen only talks to the person on her right. Then, in the second part of the meal, she can talk to the person on her left (and that's not just her, it's for everyone in the table)

      +Greg Brandstatter Monarchies can be archaic and destructive but luckily a lot of the ones that survive have done so by being a binding influence and generating a lot of popularity, like the UK, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian monarchies.

      You have different levels of awards, and different categorise for each level awarded yearly. Most are military, some for political or diplomatic work, services to britain (Spielburg uses a lot of british actors and studios), charity work etc. You can also get one in the same way that America has walk of fame, for personalities. Sports is also a big category. Categories are increasing.

    Bob Geldof is Irish and he is allowed to be called Sir as is Tony O'Reilly. Republic of Ireland is not part of the Commonwealth so not sure why Graham couldn't receive a title.

    • @MrBookmad
      @MrBookmad 9 лет назад +10

      Rheinmeister09 actually bob is not allowed to be called Sir..
      "When a foreign national receives an honorary knighthood of an order of chivalry, he is not entitled to the prefix Sir, but he may place the appropriate letters after his name. ... An honorary knight of an order of chivalry uses the appropriate letters after his name, but without the prefix 'Sir', because he is not eligible to receive the accolade."
      Plus it is against Irish Constitution for an Irish Citizen to hold A knighthood.

    • @MrBookmad
      @MrBookmad 9 лет назад +1

      Rheinmeister09 Re Reily:
      "As a result of the British Nationality Act 1948, Irish citizens (citizens of the Republic of Ireland) no longer had British subject status from 1 January 1949 if they did not acquire citizenship of the UK & Colonies or that of another Commonwealth country, notwithstanding that the Irish Free State did not cease to be one of His Majesty's dominions until 18 April 1949. However, section 2 of the Act allowed certain Irish citizens who were British subjects before 1949 to apply at any time to the Secretary of State to remain British subjects. Applications had to be based on: previous Crown service under the United Kingdom government; possession of a British passport; or associations by way of descent, residence or otherwise with the United Kingdom or any Crown colony, protectorate, UK mandated territory or UK trust territory."
      and he sought permission from the Irish Government and he is a British subject due to being born pre 1949

    • @MrBookmad
      @MrBookmad 9 лет назад

      Rheinmeister09 Because of this: Article 40.2.2° of Bunreacht na hÉireann,"No title of nobility or of honour may be accepted by any citizen except with the prior approval of the Government"
