British actor Daniel Craig and his wife, actress Rachel Weisz, were criticized for being impolite when talking to British Princess Kate Middleton. Craig and Weisz remained seated, not standing up, when Princess Kate approached to greet them in the stands of the men's singles final of the Wimbledon tennis tournament last weekend in London, England.

Immediately, a debate broke out on British social networks surrounding the impolite behavior of the actor and his wife. Many people believe that, according to politeness, when a woman approaches to greet them, a polite man will always stand up to talk, instead of continuing to sit in place to respond to the woman who has just approached to greet him.
The act of standing up to talk to someone while they are still standing is to show respect for them. This is a small detail but shows polite communication culture, especially when the person who takes the initiative to approach and ask is a woman, and the person being greeted is a man.
Some people even believe that when conversing with someone who is not wearing sunglasses, the person wearing glasses should temporarily take them off during the conversation, to show sincere respect for the other person during the conversation, because sunglasses prevent the other person from looking into your eyes and cause slight confusion during the conversation.
There are also opinions that if Princess Kate herself had suggested that the two people stay 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 this same event, when Princess Kate approached actor James Norton to say hello, he stood up to chat politely.
Some netizens think that Daniel Craig has spent many years playing the role of 007 James Bond. The character James Bond is considered a symbol of the elegant style of the British upper class gentleman, so Daniel Craig should have "absorbed" the elegance of Bond in his interactions.
Witnessing the latest meeting between Craig and Princess Kate, many fans said they were surprised by the somewhat tactless detail of the actor and his wife.
