@the_royal_butler: 🤝 Handshake Etiquette with The Royal Butler When it comes to a handshake between a man and a woman, the lady should always be the one to offer her hand first. If it’s between people of the same sex, the most senior in age or rank — such as a job position — should offer the handshake first. When your hands meet, they should be thumbs down, with fingers wrapping naturally around each other’s hand. Then, it’s one to three gentle pumps — no more! You’re not inflating a bicycle tyre! Afterward, return your hand gracefully to your side. During the handshake, don’t be too firm that it feels overpowering, nor too limp as if you can’t be bothered — and always maintain good eye contact. A perfect handshake says a lot about confidence, courtesy, and class. ⸻ #RoyalEtiquette #TheRoyalButler #HandshakeEtiquette #ModernManners #BritishEtiquette
