Manners Begin at Breakfast is Princess Marie-Chantal’s perennial, must-have guide to modern family etiquette—now fully revised and updated. As the founder of a successful lifestyle and gifting brand and the mother of five, she’s often asked how she does it all. Those questions, especially around raising polite, grounded children in a fast-paced, tech-driven world, inspired this modern handbook on children’s manners.
First published in 2020, the book covers everything from table manners and fashion dos and don’ts to social media and party conversation. This new edition expands the age range—from infants to late teens—and adds fresh insights on parenting in a post-pandemic world, including updated guidance on technology and reducing screen time. By popular demand, each chapter now includes personal anecdotes from Marie-Chantal’s own family life, and the Table Manners section features a charming new guide to serving a traditional English afternoon tea.
Illustrated with delightful, specially commissioned artwork by Nicholas Child—complete with personalized touches like an artistic nod to Marie-Chantal’s dachshund—the book also features a new introduction by esteemed pediatrician Dr. Perri Klass.
