On the 20th of October, the head of the royal family visited t. Thomas’s Anglican Church in Sydney. 77-year-old Queen Camilla took selfies with the crowd, which she received some attention.

As there are some traditions in the royal family, when meeting with a royal family member, men should do a simple neck bow while women should offer a small curtsy.

“Royals would always rather have a personal interaction than have people clamoring for selfies.” CCN Royal Commentator Victoria Arbiter said.

“If you grant one, then it quickly becomes overwhelming,” Arbiter also added. Selfies can be considered as a security concern.

Prince Harry is known with his avoiding selfies. As there are no rules against selfies, it is not in the traditions of the royal family. Queen Camilla’s decision to taking selfies is also a move that is showing that the royal family is embracing modern ways too.

Back in March, Prince Harry also “violated” the unwritten rule as he took a selfie with a royal family fan.

“When selfies first became a thing, members of the Royal Family hated them. The late Queen also got fed up with mobile phones interfering with how she met the public. But William and others now embrace them. Here he is posing for a selfie with Leigh Stinchcombe, 33, in Sheffield.”
