Actor Daniel Craig is criticized for his impolite behavior when meeting Princess Kate.

British actor Daniel Craig and his wife, actress Rachel Weisz, have been criticized for their lack of courtesy when speaking to British Princess Kate Middleton. Craig and Weisz remained seated, not standing up, when Princess Kate approached to greet them in the stands during the men's singles final at Wimbledon last weekend in London, England.

Immediately, a debate erupted on British social media surrounding the impolite behavior of the actor and his wife. Many argued that, according to etiquette, when a woman approaches to greet him, a polite man would always stand up to engage in conversation, rather than remaining seated to respond to the woman who had just approached him.

Standing up to engage in conversation while the other person is still standing shows respect. This is a small detail, but it demonstrates polite communication, especially when the person initiating the conversation is a woman, and the person being greeted is a man.

Some people even suggest that when conversing with someone who isn't wearing sunglasses, the person wearing them should temporarily remove their sunglasses during the conversation to show genuine respect, because sunglasses prevent others from looking into your eyes and can cause slight awkwardness during the conversation.

There are also opinions suggesting that if Princess Kate herself had suggested that the two remain seated and not stand up to greet each other, then it would have been acceptable for actor Daniel Craig and actress Rachel Weisz to remain seated.

In fact, at the same event, when Princess Kate approached actor James Norton to greet him, he stood up to engage in a polite conversation.

Some netizens argue that Daniel Craig has spent many years playing James Bond. The character of James Bond is considered a symbol of the refined style of the British upper-class gentleman, so Daniel Craig should have already "infused" Bond's elegant and charming demeanor into his interactions and behavior.

Witnessing the latest meeting between Craig and his wife, and Princess Kate, many fans expressed surprise at the couple's seemingly tactless behavior.
