威廉王子大婚在即 皇室婚禮有哪些禮儀？

 

The first rule: Don`t be late.
禮儀第一條：切勿遲到。

"The queen should be the very last person to arrive at the church before the bride and her attendants," said wedding planner and etiquette adviser Sarah Hayward.
婚禮策劃者兼禮儀顧問沙拉•海沃德表示：“在新娘及其隨從到達教堂之前，女王應該是最后一個到達的人。”

Next, choose an outfit that blends in.
禮儀第二條：穿著要得體。

Women should wear a dress — not too short, not too skimpy and certainly not white. Most British women will complete the look with a hat or a fascinator — a small feathered or jeweled hairpiece attached to a clip or a comb.
女士應該穿禮服，禮服不要太短，也別太露，白色可是萬萬不可的。英國婦女大都會再搭配一頂帽子或是配有羽毛或寶石的發(fā)飾。

Men in the armed forces should wear a military uniform. Male civilians are asked to wear either lounge suits or a morning suit, formal attire that includes a long jacket and a vest. A tophat should be carried, not worn, inside the church.
軍人要穿軍裝。其他男士要穿普通西裝或日間禮服——即包括長風衣和西式馬甲在內的正裝。在教堂里，要摘下禮帽。

Guests may be asked by security to leave their cellphones outside the Abbey, but if they aren`t, they need to make sure a ringing phone is not heard by millions during a service broadcast live around the world.
保安也許會要求來賓不要將手機帶入教堂，但如果他們最后還是帶進教堂了，來賓必須保證在進行婚禮全球直播時，全球上百萬的觀眾不會聽到他們的手機鈴聲。

After the morning ceremony at the Abbey, some 600 guests are invited to a reception at Buckingham Palace, where the food and drinks are sure to be amazing. Hanson advises guests to accept the offerings politely — but don`t gobble, don`t gulp — and for goodness sakes don`t get drunk.
早晨在教堂舉行完婚禮儀式后，大約600名賓客會被邀請前去參加設在白金漢宮的招待會。招待會上的食物和飲品一定是很棒的。漢森建議賓客禮貌的進食，不要在招待會上狼吞虎咽，而且切記不要喝醉。

The royal family no longer insists that people curtsey or bow to the queen and her family, but most people still do bow or curtsey when meeting the queen.
皇室已不再要求人們向女王及起家庭成員行屈膝禮或鞠躬，但大多數人在與女王見面時，還是會鞠躬或行屈膝禮。

"Nothing too theatrical, " said Hanson. "Men should just bow from the neck — a nod really — and women should do a slight dip with their right foot behind their left foot."
漢森說：“不用太夸張，男子只需要點一下頭，女士只需左腳在前、右腳在后，雙膝微屈一下就可以了。”

After the wedding ceremony, Middleton will be a full member of the royal family and should be treated in the same manner as her in-laws.
婚禮儀式結束后，米德爾頓就正式成為皇室的一員了，賓客應該像對待其他皇室成員一樣對待她。
