If you ever find yourself lucky enough to be at a dinner next to the queen, you'd better know which way to turn during dinner conversations. Customarily, the queen will spend the first half of dinner turned to her right, speaking with the guest of honour, then turn to the guest on her left for the second half of the event. At some events, similar protocol will be followed with other members of the royal family, so uncertain guests should take their cues from the royals themselves.
