Decorum (and caution) are appropriate in all situations.

The Royals graciously greet the public (through the protective glass!)

Security respectfully suggests that he return to the Enclosure.

Princess Tanuki (5 months old), who aspires to step into her mom Lola's (size "Alpha") shoes, also enjoys assisting in the education of the younger Royals!
