Royal etiquette

October 23, 2015

KL Interpreters provided a total of 40 interpreter days of service during the state visit to the UK by the President of China. Six of our interpreters worked at the State Banquet at Buckingham Palace. Apart from Kevin, this was the first time for them to work on a royal occasion and to be inside the Palace. The unrivalled expertise in the company was in full play. Internal training ensured that every member of our team knew what to expect, how to conduct oneself and the correct terms to use when addressing members of the royal family and staff of the household. Among the many challenges was one to buy suitable evening wear. Not the least because staff had no time for shopping. The company did the research, sent links to staff who went into the shop to buy and go.
