Exception: Informal situations

His rank with the Queen was lower due to the Order of Precedence; therefore, when they went out together, he had to follow her in order to show respect for the Order. It remains to be seen whether King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla will continue this tradition. In 2012, WBD dubbed The Prince “the man behind the queen.”
