With informed insight on a range of formal occasions, modern manners and forms of address, Debrett's Handbook is a trustworthy companion to social life and rites of passage. This weighty 480-page compendium of advice is a stylish hardback book with a beautiful red and gold-embossed front cover.
This Coronation Edition was revised and updated in 2023 following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the accession of King Charles III.
All formal address guidance has been updated to reflect the accession, the new position of the Queen Consort, and other changes in the Royal Family.
In addition, Debrett's Handbook addresses many modern dilemmas, including social graces, dress codes, mobile manners and dining etiquette. It offers advice on civilised hosting and entertaining, from formal dinner parties to drinks parties, informal suppers and overnight stays.
