The 30 most shocking rules Royals are required to follow
Being a royal is no Cakewalk
And from fashion and dining to social graces and disciplining children and pets
There are loads of rules and protocols royalty are expected to abide by
Kate's learn the ropes during her lengthy romance with William
But Meghan Markle will be expected to adhere to all the Royal expectations he
Each time she and Harry are seen together publicly
And when she dies with her soon-to-be in-laws
Here
The most shocking expectations
Traditions regulations
And Customs embraced by the royal family that even none Royal's marrying and are expected to observe
When the queen stands
You stand
Everyone in the Queen's presence is required to rise when the queen is standing
Or when she enters or exits a room
Curtsies and Bows are required
When greeting the queen
Men are expected to Bow their heads
Well women curtsy
However
Curtsies are a demure and subtle dip down with one leg behind the other
Rather than the grand gestures depicted in Old films or tails of Disney royalty
Ears travel apart
In order to preserve the line to the throne
Two ears are not allowed to travel together
William and Catherine have made the choice to break Royal tradition and travel with their children
But come George's 12
Birthday
He and father will likely be required
To fly separately
The Queen's purse isn't just an accessory
The queen isn't want to be rude
And silver purses used to send subtle social signals
When she places her clutch on the table at dinner
It means it's time to wrap things up
So consider the bite you were reaching for your last
When she swaps her purse from her left hand to her right
It means she liked
To finish up her conversation
Skip the PDA
Public displays of affection are frowned upon for the Royal Family
Especially when traveling
Royals are expected to never make those from another
More conservative
Culture feel uncomfortable by showing signs of affection publicly
Case in point
William and Catherine snoek poses during their visit to the Taj Mahal in 2016
Marriage proposals require permission
According to the Royal marriages Act of 1772
Royal descendants must seek the monarchs approval before proposing
The queen approve all the unions of her children and grandchildren
From prince Andrew and Fergie to Prince Charles his proposals to Diana and Camilla parker-bowles
More recently
She gave her seal of approval when Williams propose to Kate Middleton
And when Harry ask Meghan Markle forehead
Bridal parties are comprised of children
Royal weddings require bridesmaids and Page boys
Which mean little girls and boys responsible for scattering pedals
Rather than adults in the bridal party
Traditionally
The little girls were responsible for carrying the bride's train
But when it came to dressing the bride
Her ladies-in-waiting and staff handled the heavy lifting
At most
Royal brides and grooms have made sore matrons of honor and best men
But some choose to forgo extending that honor to a close friend or family member
Like Meghan markle's recent decision to skip having ammo
Bridal bouquets must include murder
In a royal wedding custom dating back to Princess Victoria
Royal Brides typically carry at least one sprig of Myrtle in their clutches
Myrtle symbolizes hope and love
And every Royal bride
The Duchess of Cambridge included
Has embraced the tradition of adding it into their bouquets
And Megan will likely follow suit
Royals were not allowed to marry a Roman Catholic
Until 2011
For the 1701 Act of settlement
Royals were forbidden from marrying a Roman Catholic
Royals are allowed to marry someone of any faith
So as long as the queen approves
No nicknames allowed
Royalty are expected to be addressed by their full
Given names rather than nicknames given to them by their families
When she married William
Kate began being referred to as Catherine
Duchess of Cambridge
With that said
Some Royals have broken these rules since they were young
Harry's given name is Henry
Or
Even more formal
Hrh Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Windsor
Hats on
Hats off
Royal women are expected to wear hats to formal appearances during the day
As do most socialitesande members of the aristocracy
However
Come 6p
It's all about Adera
Each Royal has tires in your own personal wardrobe
At times on loan from the crown jewels
And while no woman is expected to wear a hat in the evening
Only married female Royals are allowed to wear these Regal headpieces
Rights are the New Black
You'll likely never see the queen in a neutral or a dark hue
Her affinity for Bryce's actually another piece of Royal protocol
Since bright owns make it easy to spot her in a crowd
And while Royals Reserve black ensembles for funerals and evening gowns
The queen instituted a rule that all members of the royal family must pack a black outfit whenever they travel
In case there is a sudden death while they were away
And the morning look is required
Wedding dresses require the Queen's approval
While Royal Brides have some flexibility in style and silhouette when it comes to their wedding gowns
The queen reportedly has final say on the gowns design and aesthetic
The Duchess of Cambridge showed her grandmother in loader custom count by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen in the design Pro
Process
As well as in the weeks prior to her wedding to
Do Prince William when the ground was complete
Meghan Markle reportedly divided by the same tradition
And according to reports
Plans to show Ralph & Russo wedding gown to the queen privately the week before her wedding to Prince Harry
Modesty is key
Royals are required to dress modestly
And avoid any looks that are too racy or provocative
Cleavage is also deemed unacceptable
And Princess Diana was famous for holding her evening bag to her chest when she stepped out of her car in order to Shield
Told her chest from the paparazzi awaiting her arrival
Clutches aren't just for Cleavage
Royal women tend to carry clutch bags for a far deeper reason than simply covering up
Holding a clutch
Typically with both hands
Insurance that the Royal in question will have a polite excuse to avoid shaking hands with commoners
Prince George wear shorts only
It's no coincidence that Prince George is always photographed insurance
In fact
We can expect his younger brother
Prince Lewis
To be seen in them as he transitions into a young toddler
Traditionally
Trousers are reserved for young adults and grown men
Boys in the royal family are typically Insurance exclusively until the age of eight
Royals have styling tips and tricks to avoid malfunction
The queen has a hack for preventing wardrobe snafus
Like the time Kate skirt went all Marilyn Monroe on in Royal Air Force visit in 2011
According to designer Stewart Parvin
Who's crafted looks for the queen
Pennyweights are expected to be sewn into the Hem line of
The Queen's garments to avoid her skirts catching the breeze and showing too much skin
Report for Duty
Royals are expected to serve their country in more ways than one
And while enlisting in the military he's into requirement for royalty
It certainly expected
Traditionally
Those who enlist and serve also wear their uniforms on their wedding day
The Royal diet
Shellfish is not allowed to be served at Royal meals
As it's viewed as something that could more likely lead to food poisoning and allergic reactions
The queen is also not a fan of garlic
And therefore the ingredient is left out of all preparations for dinners that she attends and hoes
Respect
Acknowledgement of his respect for her title
Prince Philip is always required to walk two steps behind his wife
There's a specific way to drink tea
Royals are expected to take part in many afternoon teas
Which is not referred to as high tea
Which despite being dubbed high is actually a more casual service
Teacups are held in a specific manner
Pinching the top of a handle with your thumb and index finger
And placing your middle finger to support the bottom of the handle
The handle of the cup should always be kept at 3
And Royal women are advised
To try and see it from the same spot to avoid getting lipstick stains around the rim
Don't mess with the corgis
The staff at Buckingham and Kensington Palace are not allowed to reprimand the Queen's corgis
No matter how they're behaving
As the queen prefers that they be allowed to roam freely
The queen walk the dogs herself daily
And the Royal pups are serve gourmet meals daily
Which are prepared by one of the Palaces chefs and delivered by a footman
Dinner parties are heavily orchestrated
And involve tons of protocol
Seating at a royal dinner party is planned to a T
And the queen Sudley schedules her conversations with the guests at her side
She spends her time speaking to the person on her right for the first course
And then engages in conversation with the guest on her left for the second
Also
If Royals need to step away from the table before they finish their meal
It's expected that they cross their utensils
So that the staff doesn't remove their plate
If they're finished
The utensils are placed side-by-side at an angle with the handles facing the bottom right of the plate
Royal children have no last names
Until now
Until the 20th century
Royal babies had no last name
They were called by the house or the dynasty to which they belong
However
Since Royal children were home-schooled until Princess Diana sent William and Harry to private school outside of the pan
They had no need for one
Nao
When Royal children attend school they go by a single surname
Rather than their royal title
At school
Prince George's call George Cambridge
Chin placement is key
Royal women are instructed to always stand and walk downstairs with their chins parallel to the ground
When walking down stairs
Their hands must always be at their sides as well
There are also rules for shaking hands
Royals are expected to maintain strong eye contact throughout the duration of a handshake
And stick to two shakes maximum
To avoid touching commoners for too long or appearing to give preferential treatment to one handshake over another
The queen can drive Sands license
Only the queen is allowed to drive without a license
Or plates on her car
All other Royals are required to have a valid license
Some rules are off limits
There are certain words that Royals will never utter
And they all have more proper substitutes
A toilet is always referred to as a lavatory
Interrupting a conversation always requires an apologetic sorry rather than interjecting pardon
Couches are referred to as sofas and they are placed in drawing rooms or sitting rooms rather than living rooms
Lounges or dead
Brits also call their parents by Mom and Dad
Or Mommy and Daddy if they're feeling more affectionate
Also
Someone's perfume is always referred to as their scent
To make the smell sound more natural to the person
Royal babies are typically not allowed to meet world leaders
In 2016
George was given permission by his parents to stay up late to meet Barack and Michelle Obama
But greeting world leaders and foreign dignitaries is usually off-limits for Royal babies
Leave the wedges at home
The queen reportedly hates the look of wedges
And so Royal women are expected to abandon the style when attending events with her
She really doesn't like them
And it's well known among the women in the family
A source once told Vanity Fair
Kate has worn the style multiple times
But only at events where the queen has no plans to attend
