“Kate Middleton is the perfect example of true etiquette because she really understands her role, which I think is very important.
“She has stepped into that role but yet she is still her individual self – she is not this robot or a Stepford wife.
“She speaks her mind but in a very eloquent way and she really does the things that she feels passionate about.
“She doesn’t allow other people to hold her back while still being within the confines of being a royal, and that’s a really tricky balance, but I think she navigates that beautifully, she’s just fantastic! I really love her on so many levels, she is educated, very well-spoken and she just embodies female empowerment, especially in a role like that is difficult to do so.”
Pattie also spoke about how etiquette and decorum are not sexist terms to keep women in check, but rather represent a social order everyone should aspire to.
Pattie continued: “Once you truly start learning about etiquette you understand there are reasons for every single rule.
“It’s not just to sit up, cross your legs because you want to look feminine, it really has very little to do with that and there are etiquette norms for men as well: like take off your hat when you come into a room.
“Well, the reason that came about is that men used to wear hats outside and a lot of dirt used to get on their hats so if you come into the room, the dirt is going to get into the room right?
