I read about Chinese people being increasingly interested in learning the Western etiquette.

In Italy there has always been a tradition about “galateo” experts from Donna Letizia to the most recent #casabadellazorza

Why the manners and appearance are so obsessively discussed and followed all over the world?

Queen Elizabeth II explains to us the meaning of “luxury”.

Kenneth Rose, in his book about his story as high society diarist and memories “Who loses, Who wins” anticipated by the Daily Mail online, writes:

“Brigadier Geoffrey Hardy-Roberts, Master of the Royal Household from 1967 to 1973, used to worry at the difficulty of keeping food hot when served on gold plate.

But the Queen told him: ‘People come here not to eat hot food, but to eat off gold plate.’”
