15 Strict Rules The Royals Must Follow

Once upon a time, becoming a princess sound like a dream come true, but what does it actually mean to be a princess today? Well, being part of the British Royal family comes with a whole lot of rules and protocols you’re required to follow as a working member. Sure, there are tiaras, royal balls and state dinners, but those dinners have their own set of rules that probably won't even cross your mind when you’re hanging out with your family in public. A lot of the rules revolve around the Queen being the first, the first to stand or sit, the first to eat and speak. As a royal, you are required to follow her lead, so no walking in front of the Queen, no eating after Her Majesty is finished. The Queen even has a say on wedding dress choices for royal brides and which family members can travel with who. But there are other rules that the other members of the royal family are required to adhere to on their own and have also become part of royal tradition. Such as how to sit properly as a Royal, words to use in public, and keeping their coats on in public. Though some of these rules are a little crazy-strict, it’s no surprise when they are broken occasionally.
