Young boy masters Royal etiquette by taking off his top hat to shake the Queen's hand
Video: Mohammed bin Ahmed Jaber Al Harbi knows a thing or two about etiquette

Take note Michelle Obama: this is how you do Royal etiquette.
The First Lady drew cries of horror when she touched the back of Her Majesty the Queen on a visit to the UK; Wanda Sykes joked that Ms Obama had patted the head Royal "like she just slid into home plate. Way to go, Queen!"
Yet when a young member of the Dubai elite greeted Her Majesty, he nailed Royal protocol.
Young Mohammed bin Ahmed Jaber Al Harbi, a close acquaintance of Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is seen in the latter's Instagram post approaching the Queen at Epsom Racecourse on 6 June.
As he gets close to Her Majesty, he takes off his top hat and holds out a hand, just as the Queen can be heard saying something along the lines of "how sweet."
The Queen and the young boy shake hands, before Young Mohammed bin Ahmed walks off, a smile evident across his face.
At the time, the Queen was speaking to Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, who is the father of Prince Sheikh Hamdan.
The Prince wrote in a caption next to the video, "Nothing defines respect better than a proper handshake!"
