I wish every meal I ate had this sort of etiquette and people did not look at me like I was crazy when I practice it.
+HiChris10 Thanks for the compliment on my work. Don't worry about what others say and do. Life your best life with the manners of a Princess!
+Gloria Starr Why thank you Ms. Gloria :) Yes I do quite enjoy these videos and find them to be very useful. Thank you for making them!
What a coincidence you mentioned princess. I will be dining in the tea room at the grand Floridian and Victoria and Alberts which are both in Disney World. I hope to fit in nicely with the rest of the princesses :)
HiChris10 no theyre crazy not you!
IKR!?😅
Come from the "hood" but my Mom always made sure we knew how to be proper and refined. Thanks for this video. I'm tutoring my nieces and nephews who lost their mom, my sister, and want to get this to them young!
Excellent! Thanks so much. GloriaStarr.com
😧 This is a struggle. I come from a long line of un-classy women. I've got to change 20 years of bad habit....
You can DO it...one day at a time. Just "up your game."
Me too girl
@@sfab5039 Same thing here, that's why I am reviewing and practicing from these refined ladies.
You have to start somewhere my dear ... is a matter of discipline
Just set up your table like she did. Put up the video and do as she does. This is learning by doing as kids learn at the table with their parents.
When you did this for a year you will never forget it.
Do it every day and if this is too much for you do this once a week.
Im 26 years old and I fell down the rabbit hole of etiquette and I AM IN LOVE!!!! I cant wait to implement what I learned!
Greetings! Thanks for your lovely compliment. Yes, Etiquette is Essential!
Please share my Channel with your friends. ExpertGloriaStarr
My paternal aunt who I adored was a very fortunate and well-educated, lovely woman who really taught me alot about the "other side" of life and appreciating nice things. I'm glad I grow up experiencing both qualities of life. While I'm not high maintenance at all I do gravitate towards the finer things in life. And I believe that knowing certain gentries and being cultured will allow a person to be more fluid and open for new opportunities in life. I don't have any kids yet but when I do my girls will definitely be spending a summer in a finishing school. Thanks for the upload! ❤
Nice to know..that was 5 years ago..are you married now??
@@bhag8816 As her husband I can confirm this, although our girl isn’t old enough for finishing school yet!
What about your boys? They need to be refined too .
grew up* not grow up...... That was bothering me horribly.
I'm so glad that you mentioned "chew with your lips closed"... I have found soooooo many people making noises while chewing, opening their mouths and chasking with their tongue... I'm sorry, i just can't deal with it!!!!!!!
Thank You for your Positive Comments. GloriaStarr.com
Wow her properness and no nonsense attitude reminds me of Professor McGonnagall! I love it!
Klaus O'Shaunacey Thank you Klaus. I was not raised with this knowledge but acquired and studied Etiquette and Manners as an adult. I have trained and coached in 60 + countries. I simply love the work. Lady Gloria Starr
Honestly, that's pleasing to hear. Shows that you don't have to be raised with etiquette to truly be a lady or gentleman.
My work takes me all over the world so I shop in the stores in many countries. Thank you for the lovely compliments.
Gloria Starr you're very classy
You are very elegant and exude grace and sophistication .
Dear Gloria,
I have a very important question .
If asked questions that may bring up an embarrassing, unpleasant or potentially dangerous answer, by the host at a very formal dinner event , is it more polite and well mannered to elude the question, lie or tell the truth in spite of the consequences .
I had dinner in Saudi Arabia , the land of your lovely tea set , and was invited to dinner by a representative of the UN there who is also by definition a colleague as i work for the same organization . It was supposed to be an informal dinner , but when i showed up , many high dignitaries were there and some members of the royal family . I am a 43 years old man with a wedding ring at my finger . So i was asked about my wife , and kids . I answered that my family was at home , that i was married to a Japanese and had 4 kids which is true . I was asked again many question about my family throughout dinner , because it seems to be a very light topic in the middle east where people are very family oriented . The thing is that i am married to a Japanese man not woman (the kids are adopted) , and Saudi Arabia is not exactly the land of the LGBT rights movement , actually homosexuality can even be punished by death there . No need to say that by the end of this dinner not only was I starting to feel like the character in Midnight Express but also that i had also made up a beautiful story about my lovely wife Mariko and her lovely Kimono and graceful manners , and on how wonderful Japanese ladies were and what remarkable wives and hostesses they could be . Of course i will eventually have to meet those people again, which puts me in an extremely difficult situation . And i know that there will be other dinner parties and formal events for me in the Middle East . So i would love to have our opinion on the matter . Elude he question and if so , how ? Lie ? or be honest and risk jail time or possible death penalty ?
I couldn't be more serious .
So sorry for the delayed response. I am just now reading your comments. I may have said that my family is very precious to me. Please respect the privacy of my family. Thank you. Then I would have started another topic.
This is what America needs, can you imagine if we all were like this? It would ne another perspective sadly is fading away. 😞
Wrong imagination about Europe.In the most cases, Ordinary people don't have these manners.
exactly!
@@nikop3571 "There is more diversity in two villages in rural France than they are between two states in America."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
You know nothing of America. We're so "Diverse" and different that the entire country is ripping apart at the seams and collapsing into civil war.
@@nikop3571 Isn't it illegal for French people to even acknowledge your difference in ethnicities?
I purchased a book last year, at a large annual flea market, titled Present Day Etiquette. It was printed in the 1930s and I thought it might be a nice glimpse into the past! Well, I've always loved traditional manners and such and since reading that book I've found my self studying etiquette as a hobby and slowly teaching what I know to the kids I work with (mostly just in our tea parties as they'd rather just play all day :) ). I'm very happy to find your videos here online and you can bet I'll be watching them one right after the other! Thanks for sharing them with us :)
My dad taught me this as a child once and ever since it has been very handy, not here in the states but in Europe.
Thank you for taking time to educate us on etiquette. We really should have more lessons like this on a national level.
Thanks for your positive comments Jennifer.
I have Trained and Coached in 60+ countries and with 125+ nationalities in the past 3+ decades.

Watching these it seems like you're on a training to be a princess it reminds me on The Princess Diaries when Julie Andrews teach Anne Hathaway to become a Princess.
You’re such a pro Gloria 🔥
VideoZeus Many thanks for such a lovely compliment!
This is so informative. I feel classy & elegant!!!
Lovely gorgeous lady. Just watching and listening is of great quality.And thanks for the tips always good too refresh a little table discipline.
james rumble Many thanks for your compliment!
I just watched my new favorite person of 2019. Thank you so much for sharing this video and your talents with us❤️
Thank you for such a Lovely Compliment! Lady Gloria Starr GloriaStarr.com
My grandma eats like this. I see where she gets it from now .
My grandparents would have fit in with the first class on the Titanic. Unfortunately, they thought we were too young at 2, 3, and 4 to begin teaching it.
@@deborahgraves1383 huh?
I love and appreciate that you do these videos!
marie campanero Thank You so much for your lovely compliment! GloriaStarr.com
I have lived in London. Please accept my sincere thanks for teaching marvelous mannerism. With Love from Pakistan.
Many thanks for your Compliment. GloriaStarr.com
Gloria Starr is so elegant and classy i love this video
Many Thanks! GloriaStarr.com
I still use manners where ever I go people give me looks well they could have it to.
Beautiful women, many thanks for this quick and easy lesson in table etiquette.
So happy videos like these exist
I'm so happy that I found your channel!
I love your shirt. Ruffles always add a nice feminine touch to any outfit.
That coffee cup is beautiful!
Thank You for adding your comment / compliment. GloriaStarr.com
I love your perfect class...Thank you! My question is how to be elegant and having manners in this time now? Very often I choice to have a classical type of clothes but noticed it looks too good for everyday casual clothes.. when I see there no places where you can find these kind of behavior(if this right word).. Not many people take care about it... How to be in balance... when you see Christian Dior models...
Never dumb down to average! Lead with elegance and confidence
Gloria is so glamorous!
Thank you! Lady Gloria Starr
I wish you were my nanny, and I'd be a proper lady :'(
Thank you for this lesson
Joy Thank you!
Wow, impressive. Proper (there is nothing wrong with properness . . . Order)!
We as a society must realize that MANNERS never go out of style.
🤔 Most people need to know these "things" for at least one memorable event in their lives.
People today are in such a hurry to do things; thus, we resort to: paper plates, cups, napkins, etc., to avoid washing dishes or we do fast foods to avoid cooking!!!
Thank you Etiquette TEACHER for educating me in the finer things of life. I should have viewed these videos years ago when I attended lots of banquets and formal corporate affairs.
But, better late than never. Plus, I can make sure my next generation know these things.
Blessings
Thank you for your Special Compliment!
GloriaStarr.com
Please make some more videos Gloria! You have gone quiet in the last few months. We miss you
I have been busy with corporate clients. Yes, I will do some videos today!
Love your manners and accents. It looks so sophisticated. I wish all American would speak in such a neat way😢
Wow, I love it, I mean the perfection of it all. This must have been what it was like before the fall of man in the garden.
Thank you very much Gloria Starr, you have tought me very much! Thank you again; hugs and kisses to all!
She looks so elegant 😍
She's not talking about how many strokes you can take. When you're eating a steak you should not cut it all up into pieces, you should cut one bite size piece, eat it and only then cut the next piece.
I enjoyed this video. I had a grandmother growing up who made a point to teach her granddaughters proper table and eating etiquette when we dined out. Unfortunately, I didn't learn everything.
Thanks so much for your comments. There is always more to learn.
GloriaStarr.com
Such good information. They need to teach this in high school/college. Even famous people on tv could learn a thing or two. Ive seen actors with salad on their fork. Flipping the fork all around like an airplane coming into the hanger. Seems like it was 1st time using cutlery.
JulieAnkha N. I agree, everyone can benefit from etiquette lessons. Many famous, wealthy people need the basics and beyond when it comes to manners and the Social Graces! GloriaStarr.com
Thank you my mom taught me well!
gu goop Excellent! GloriaStarr.com
Excellent advice. I learned this at about 6 I think. I was complimented on it many times growing up. I would add, never an elbow on the table, and Please, for god sake. Leave your cell phone off and in your pocketbook or pocket. OFF! Went out to dinner last night with a couple. Woman was on phone for half the meal.
Kindly teach how to eat in buffet. For this you have to be in restaurant and make live video. Buffet etiquette is highly needed. Complimentary breakfast etiquette is also required as there use to be so many items from different countries to eat and we do not know what to pick.
Here is the link to a new video I did a few days ago on Etiquette, Manners and Dining at the Buffet: ua-cam.com/video/Q2CdiYgdytY/v-deo.html
LOL No one taught me all this useful stuff not even my mother! How sad?!
She probably
Didn’t know
Any better can’t blame her tbh
subbed - I went to Charm school as a young lady and wanted to brush up :)

Thank You ! Gloria
Greetings, Gloria. I've had a rough start in life, but recently I've decided to make a change and begin anew. I'm in my twenties and I'm pursuing a business degree. The issue I face is finding other adults of all ages who share the same principles and interests that I do. Even when following dining protocol at a social gathering, I oftentimes get called snobby and pretentious (I in no way force my habits on others, people just see me doing it and become offended). It happens quite a lot. So, in addition to changing my life, I'm renewing my circle of friends. I've tried to meet people at events in my area, but I've had no luck so far. As an aspiring business professional, where/how do I find others with similar principles and manners as myself?
She is iconic.
I love this so nicely done
Thank you Barbara for the positive feedback on my videos! Lady Gloria Starr www.gloriastarr.com
what about charm school videos for us Gentlemen?? or am i looking at it? :]
Yes indeed. I offer the training program "How to Be a Gentleman of Style and Substance." Details at
www.gloriastarr.com/gentleman and I have created about 12 videos and they are on my Channel.
awesome! thank you so much :)
I back to hear her say, “the rules of the table are the rules of business”
I wish more women behaved with such class and manners like this-Im not really a fan of the way things are today-just my opinion
Men too.
I wish more men know they should let women in first and hold the doors for them... Just this little, dear male, just this little!
I think we can all agree on making this a topic in school. Every human should be familiar with this etiquette and class.
Every person should be taught class and manners in my opinion.
Lovely outfit Gloria
Lloyd Harry Thank You!
Gloria Starr You are welcome. I hope you are doing good during these times. I look forward to your videos in the future.

I love that blouse she is wearing
11marylena Thanks so much!
I think of all the times that I've grabbed a roll and broke it in half and then slathered it with butter. That's a pearl-clutcher.
i'm a public relation student... i like your videos. i think they're really useful! :)
Great video, thank you.
Very informative, thank you for sharing!
beeski Thank You, comments always appreciated!
Thank you.
I’m moving soon and my parents are thinking about sending me to a finishing school, so I just searched it up to know a bit more about it lolz 😅
Hello and thanks for reaching out. Here is the link to my weekend Finishing School.

I love your channel
Thank you! I do so appreciate your compliment. Lady Gloria Starr www.gloriastarr.com
This is really informative and helpful. Thank you very much!
Question for you about formal dining: I’ve been told you should never cut your bread/roll at dinner, only tear it in half to butter it. Is this true?
Yes, you do not cut your bread. Breaking the bread is correct. GloriaStarr.com
Thank you!
So informative. Thank you
I was eating at Costes in Paris with a couple of friends last summer and next to our table was a bunch of extremely ill mannered tourists . After about 30 minutes and 5 very audible burps coming from our extremely loud neighbours , i really couldn't take it and walked to their table kindly suggesting that before eating at Costes or any restaurant for that matter they might maybe benefit from the services of and etiquette coach . To which one of them answered , if i'm going to learn etiquette i will choose etiquette Business or First . I didn't understand it at first , then burst out laughing , thinking the joke was actually hilarious , unfortunately he didn't understand my hilarity, and i sadly realized this person was actually being serious. So i went back to my table with a nice dinner parties story .
What happens to the cutlery when the next course arrives? Do I have to pick it up and keep it for the next meal or the waiter will?
When you are finished with the current course, place your used utensils on the plate. The wait staff will remove these items and will bring you a new set of utensils for the next course that will be served.
Perfect! Thanks for replying Gloria :)
Gloria Starr thank you. I had the same question.
Thank you kindly Gloria for an informative video.
This is excellent!
+Thank you for the lovely compliment. Lady Gloria Starr
Wonderful!
Perfection...
why in Europe is the salad served after the entree?
She's right!
tubefreakmuva Thank you! GloriaStarr.com
You put knives on the right of the plate and forks on the left but where do you put spoons for soup or foods other then dessert?
WorldOfEmmi The dessert spoon would be above the dinner plate and the soup spoon would be to the left of the dinner knife and (this might be optional) the teaspoon.
Well you would do just that until the piece is cut, but remember to only cut the piece you are going to eat, never multiple pieces at a time :)
I really love that blouse where did you get it?
Joygernaut M Thank you! I had had it for years and do not remember where I purchased the blouse.
Lovely 💐
Lol how else do you use a knife and fork? That’s exactly how we eat normally in Australia? Do Americans use the fork in their right hand and the knife in their left?
very informative..
لم أتوقع أن هناك من يتعلم الإتيكيت الأوروبي في السعودية.. لدينا طرق مختلفة جدا عنكم، وكذلك أكلات تؤكل بطرق مختلفة.. هذا مثير للأهتمام!
English Please
that's a tea glass. arabian coffee is served in shots. tiny cups without a saucer
Yes, I agree and I have both the tiny cups for Arabic coffee and the glass tea cups and saucers for tea.
I enjoy the Arabic culture and the food. GloriaStarr.com
Any suggestions on Saudi Arabian online stores? I have similar cups, but they're champagne andtumblers. I'd love some coffee cups and saucers to complete the set.
My preference is to purchase in a store so I can hold the cups. The Middle East has lovely china sets in the stores!
Putting the napkin in my lap doesn't work for me because I'm, uh, WELL-ENDOWED at top and if I drop something, it's going straight on my shirt rather than in my lap. It's not fun trying to eat.
Peace be to you! What a WONDERFUL channel and video! Was it a challenge for you teaching etiquite in Saudi? According to Islamic and some of the Arab (and Islamic) traditions, it is customary for one to eat with one's hands 👐🏾- NO cutlery at all; using the right for eating and the left for well...cleaning one's self 😒🚽. How did you address this issue with Saudis?
Greetings Omar! So pleased that you like my Channel. I have trained and coaching in 60+ countries and with 125+ nationalities.
When traveling, I align with their customs as I am a Guest in their Country.
Eating with the right hand, out of a large bowl that everyone eats from was a good experience.
Be assured that they are well educated, speak several languages and I enjoy their culture and their food.
Yes, I wear the Abaya and Hajab when I work in Saudi as it is a sign of respect to their customs.
@@ExpertGloriaStarr I was in Saudi in 97'. I made the holy pilgrimage to Mecca🕋. It was an AMAZING experience! By the way, I really appreciate this video. I remember my first "fine" dining experience. I was like, "How many forks and spoons to you need?😕". Sorbet was served for dessert. Of course, I was eating with the wrong spoon. I blurted to the waiter "This sure is good ice cream!" He scoffed, "It's sorbet."😤 I felt like the man a Palmers fruit commercial "Would please pass the jelly?" And chaos ensued! 🤣 it's on UA-cam. You should check it out; really funny! I look forward to watching more of your videos. 😊
Omar Abdul-Malik DHEd, MPAS, PA-C thanks so much for your comments. we all have had to learn. My parents did not know and I learned when I saw studying my Etiquette and Manners Classes.
thank you!
I thank G-d for You
World class.
I learned so much! I’m such a messy eater! 🙄
We can all improve! GloriaStarr.com
George Washington had a huge interest in exactly what this lady is teaching in this video. The proper Table manners that people use in the United States was actually created by George Washington himself.
Classy Lady.
Please make a separate dessert video using very tall, stemmed dessert dishes and show where to put the fork and spoon when the dessert is finished.
Wish my she was my mother!!!!!
We need help for Hope
