6 Strange Rules of Protocol Adopted by the British Royal Family

The whole world follows the lives of Queen Elizabeth II and her family. The British royal family launches fashion and, in a way, guides the citizens of the country on how to behave. But of course such exposure has its downside. They can’t make a misstep without the whole world knowing about it. All this exposure means that some aspects of their lives are not fully understood by the rest of the world.

Today the awesome.club will answer the most common questions people ask about the British royal family.

There is no formal norm that prevents couples from holding hands. However, the British royal family is educated according to very strict rules of etiquette. According to them, showing feelings in public is not something appropriate. Therefore, Kate and William do not hold hands, do not hug and do not kiss in front of others. As he is a well-positioned heir in the line of succession (second after his father, Charles), he must behave in the best possible way, so as not to tarnish the queen’s honor.

Already the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan, and Prince Harry often go hand in hand and always hug each other in public. Crown rules apply to them as well, but although they have many titles, they are sixth in the line of succession; so their behavior is not usually the target of so many looks.

Queen Elizabeth II always stands out for her flashy, monochrome outfits, and that’s because she just loves bright colors. According to the rules of the British Crown, the Queen must always stand out from the crowd, so that people can see her and shout: “Long live the Queen!”

It is worth mentioning that she also uses the color black, but only in mourning ceremonies.

These days, the royal family is so famous around the world that they don’t need a last name to identify them. Therefore, all British monarchs are known only by their names and titles. But formally they have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.

The royal code does not only refer to Princess Kate and Meghan’s clothes, but also to accessories. Young women should carry a small bag that matches their outfit and allows them to say hello or not (when they don’t say hello, they hold the bag and keep the style). In addition, the bag helps to avoid uncomfortable situations. For example: when getting out of a car they can use the bag to cover their neckline.

According to royal rules, power is transferred to another member of the family in the event of the death of the monarch or in case of resignation. According to a decree, if the Queen is alive at the age of 95, her son Charles takes over. Many people think that this should have happened already, since she is 92 years old. However, Elizabeth is in very good health and goes to all the events that the position requires.

There is a tradition among British monarchs: shorts are an essential element in children’s clothing. So, regardless of the time of year, little George should always wear shorts. Pants will be worn when he is older, most likely after age eight.

Before meeting Meghan, Prince Harry had a relationship with Chelsy Davy that lasted for seven years. However, for some reason he was in no hurry to formalize the relationship. People were pretty surprised when Harry asked Meghan for her hand in marriage so quickly. There are some theories about this.

First of all, they say that everything happened quickly due to the not so good health of Prince Phillip – Elizabeth’s husband. Everyone was worried that he wouldn’t have time to see his grandson’s wedding.

A second reason is that royal weddings are celebrated in spring, as the Queen has her birthday in June and from August to October she is in Scotland.
