Covering children from infants to teens, it is an essential guide for all parents keen to raise polite, well-rounded children, equipped to thrive in society and develop into confident, successful adults. This updated edition captivates and enlightens, adding new insights on parenting in a post-pandemic world.

Adorned with charming, specially commissioned illustrations and an introduction by leading pediatrician Dr. Perri Klass, Manners Begin at Breakfast is the quintessential guide to propriety for the modern family.

Reviews

'Marie-Chantal, Crown Princess of Greece, knows a thing or two about manners. (Queen Elizabeth was a guest at her wedding.) But when it came to writing Manners Begin at Breakfast: Modern Etiquette for Families, she leaned on her experiences as a New Yorker, sister, daughter, mother of five, and founder of an incredibly charming childrens line, as much as her decades of navigating royal politesse.' - Goop
'Princes Marie-Chantal of Greece has produced an updated version of her earlier primer; this should be mandatory reading for parents and children. ' - Milieu
'Crown Princess of Greece, Marie-Chantal, has put her extensive knowledge into a book Etiquette guides may seem archaic but good manners are never out of style! ' - The Gloss
