 This has been the custom in Ansteorra for beyond the many years (well over a
decade) I resided there.  Any lady who takes so much as two steps unescorted
towards the throne(s) will usually have several knights/squires stepping
forward to escort her the remainder of the way.  The escort will usually back
off a polite distance while business is being conducted then step forward to
profer a hand as the lady rises and escort her out of the Crown's presence.
