Shaking hands with the Royal Family

[PhilSAFC]

I wouldn't do it.

You wouldn’t shake hands with a good man who offers you their hand in friendship?

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

Seems republicans are canny rude people mind

 

[jackynutmeg]

There'd be none of the Royal protocol from me. Just simple handshake and an 'alreet'.

You down the Saturday night Jeff

Nor mate 04'30 on Sunday morning, straight back after.

Just make sure you haven't got any traces of explosives on yer mitts.

Just Novichuk plus barrier cream to ensure I don't get poisoned.

Seriously, I'd just shake hands hand have done. There's more mature ways of stating your beliefs than spitting your dummy that is not really about the royals. I'm not a James McClean-type.

I'd shake their hand as per common courtesy with anyone, I wouldn't bow to one of them though. I cringe when I see people bowing and curtseying to them, as per below

Cherie Blair declared that she wasn’t going to curtesy to the Queen. The day that she met the Queen she got in a fluster and did a sort of half bow half curtesy and the Queen just smiled to herself and walked on. I’m pretty sure that she had a good laugh over her Drambuie that night when she was telling Philip about her day.

Why refuse an opportunity to stink palm one of the f***ing twats.

Commonly, the Royal Family greet football sides at Wembley, walking down the line and shaking hands with the players. As a republican, I have always found this to be somewhat bollocks. If during one of these charades a player politely declined, would this be an act of treason?

Nah but it would be a ****’s trick

 

[Teed]

I wouldn't do it.

Don't think I could either.

 

[Deleted User 2893]

Basic manners really.

 

[Keawyeds]

I'd be wanting this personally.

I actually feel bilious looking at those simpering sycophantic maggots. I’d have the lot of the fuckers down the salt mines.

I think in this scenario the royals are representing the FA, so a simple handshake is ok. Standing to attention whilst the band plays God save the queen bollocks is another matter, I get round it by singing god save our team.

 

[skybo]

Just do one of those stupid handshakes that the younger element do,and say something like "Here's me hand , here's me heart"
Would probably go down quite well.

Ask your husband?

Am a hugger not a handshaker. If Lizzie doesn't do hugs tough, we'll just stand there and smile at each other.

 

[nyron4england]

in Switzerland you would fail a residency application for not conforming to basic western manners.

OK.

Bit of a problem with your statement there.

Darth Mayder always looks like she's shat herself though

 

[The Exile]

Fist bump, high five or the Terran Empire salute from me.

Toyed with the idea of doing a full double Rimmer when I met Phil, but you realise you'd just look like a tit and nobody would get the joke.
