Great reminder! True etiquette isn’t about rules. It’s about making others feel seen, comfortable, and respected. Familiarity is earned, and kindness is the foundation.

Good manners never go out of style no matter the generation. It should always be about treating others with respect.

As an American, I highly value manners. I've taught all of my kids to use: please, thank you, yes ma'am, no sir, etc. <br>Andy Andrews put it this way: "I want my kids to have every advantage possible to succeed. And if the difference between them and the next equally qualified job candidate is that they used 'sir', and they get the job because of it, then it would be worth all the effort."

This was such a lovely conversation between two equally accomplished gentlemen. Their energies matched and complemented that of the other. Excellent!

I always told my children “You want people to be glad to see you coming, not glad to see you going.”

I love William and this was probably the best interview I’ve seen of him. Simon was practicing good manners 😄

Back when Twitter was Twitter, I asked Eric Idle why there was always one character on English TV shows who's perpetually annoyed, and he said that being perpetually annoyed is part of being English.
