Why are there rules for meeting the Queen?

President Barack Obama raised eyebrows when he continued speaking during the national anthem with commentators suggesting protocol had been breached. But what is royal protocol and is it necessary?
Barack Obama was probably not aware that he was doing anything unusual when making a toast "to the Queen" and then continuing with a short speech. According to protocol, however, he should have stopped after the toast.
The band, taking its cue from the word Queen, struck up with the national anthem leaving the president struggling to make himself heard.
What happens when the Queen is toasted is all part of protocol, an elaborate set of customs and rules that govern interactions with the British royal family.
When meeting a royal, there are rules about who can speak first, where to look, what to call them, how you should stand and when you should sit. It is a mysterious business to the uninitiated.
"From medieval times, monarchs were divinely appointed to rule by God, so they were kind of seen as gods, so they demanded to be treated as gods," says Dr Kate Williams, a historian at London's Royal Holloway university.
But in an era when a woman with ancestors who worked in the coal mines can become a princess, does royal etiquette really matter?
The reaction to Mrs Obama touching the Queen in 2009 would suggest it does to some people.

a) people were surprised.
b) people were charmed.
c) people were excited.

47. The band waited until the end of the President´s speech and started playing the anthem.

b) obscure
c) symbolic.

49. The royal protocol has

c) Everyone can become a prince or princess today.
