Слайд 2

WHEN THE QUEEN STANDS, YOU STAND
When the Queen stands, it's protocol

for everyone to follow.

Слайд 3

NO ONE CAN EAT AFTER THE QUEEN HAS FINISHED HER MEAL
When

dining as a family, after the Queen has taken her last bite, everyone needs to stop eating.

Слайд 4

BOWING AND CURTSYING IS A REQUIREMENT
Men of the royal family perform

a neck bow, while women curtsy when greeting the Queen.

Слайд 5

MARRIAGE COMES WITH A NEW NAME
Members of the Royal Family take

a new name when they're married. Titles are passed on by inheritance.

Слайд 6

PDA IS LOOKED DOWN UPON, ESPECIALLY WHILE TRAVELLING
The Royal Family even

refrain from holding hands.

Слайд 7

APPROVAL IS NEEDED BEFORE A PROPOSAL
According to the Royal Marriages Act of

1772, Royal descendants must seek the monarch's approval before proposing.

Слайд 8

A ROYAL WEDDING BOUQUET MUST CONTAIN MYRTLE
Every Royal bride carries myrtle in her

wedding bouquet.
Myrtle has always been a symbol of marital love and fidelity.

Слайд 9

EVERY ROYAL WEDDING PARTY MUST INCLUDE A CROP OF CHILDREN
Royal wedding

parties are usually made up of young children.

Слайд 10

UNTIL 2011, THE ROYAL FAMILY WAS PROHIBITED FROM MARRYING ANYONE CATHOLIC
Now,

they can marry someone of any faith.

Слайд 11

THE FAMILY CAN'T HAVE POLITICAL VIEWS
The Royal Family isn't allowed to

vote or speak publicly about politics.

Слайд 12

...NOR CAN THEY RUN FOR OFFICE
Since voting is off the table,

members of the Royal Family aren't allowed to hold any type of political office.

Слайд 13

MONOPOLY IS A FORBIDDEN BOARD GAME AMONGST THE ROYAL FAMILY
Quite possibly

the weirdest rule, the Royal Family can't play Monopoly (though we imagine this is a "rule" that can be broken).

Слайд 14

DINNER CONVERSATIONS ARE FORMULATED
At dinner parties, the Queen begins by speaking

to the person seated to her right. During the second course of the meal, she switches to the guest on her left.

Слайд 15

WHEN A ROYAL TRAVELS ABROAD, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO PACK AN ALL-BLACK

OUTFIT

Every family member must be prepared with a funeral-appropriate ensemble, in case of a sudden death.

Слайд 16

TWO HEIRS AREN'T ALLOWED TO TRAVEL TOGETHER
Once Prince George turns 12,

he and William will have to fly separately.

Слайд 17

THE FAMILY ISN'T ALLOWED TO SIGN AUTOGRAPHS OR TAKE SELFIES
Don't even

think about approaching them with that selfie stick.

Слайд 18

THE FAMILY CAN'T EAT SHELLFISH
Shellfish is off-limits to the Royal family,

probably because it is more likely to cause food poisoning than other seafoods.

Слайд 19

YOU CAN'T TOUCH A ROYAL
It's rumoured that the Royal Family can't

be touched by non-royals, and Kate's awkward reaction to LeBron James throwing his arm around her is full-blown proof.

Слайд 20

THEY CAN'T WEAR FUR
In the 12th century, King Edward III banned

all royals from wearing fur—but this rule has been repeatedly broken.

Слайд 21

EVENT SEATING IS VERY MUCH PLANNED
Seating is arranged by order of

precedence at all Royal events, but factors like age, language and interests are accounted for when organizing events.

Слайд 22

IN FACT, THERE'S AN ENTIRE OFFICE DEDICATED TO THE ORGANISING OF

GUESTS

The Office of the Marshal of the Court refer to themselves as "Mini Hosts".

Слайд 23

THE ROYAL FAMILY MUST ADHERE TO A STRICT DRESS CODE
The Royal

Family's dress code is modest, and no members are seen in casual clothing.

Слайд 24

EVEN PRINCE GEORGE HAS A DRESS CODE
He always wears tailored shorts,

never pants.

Слайд 25

WOMEN MUST WEAR HATS TO ALL FORMAL EVENTS
The fancier, the better.

Слайд 26

AFTER 6PM, HATS ARE OFF AND TIARAS ARE ON
If an event

is held indoors after 6PM, women swap their hats for tiaras.

Слайд 27

BUT, TIARAS ARE RESERVED FOR ONLY MARRIED WOMEN
A woman who attends

an event sans tiara is on the market.

Слайд 28

...AND TIARAS MUST BE ANGLED PROPERLY
Although tiaras were traditionally worn towards

the front of the head, the modern style is worn farther back on the head at a 45-degree angle.

Слайд 29

THE QUEEN'S BREAKFAST MENU IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
Every morning, the Queen has English

Breakfast tea followed by Corn Flakes.

Слайд 30

THE FAMILY MUST ACCEPT GIFTS
The family is required to graciously accept

the many (sometimes bizarre) gifts they're given on a regular basis.

Слайд 31

THE QUEEN INSISTS ON SPENDING A WEEK PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS
The family's

annual Christmas celebration is held at the Queen's Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, and she arrives a week early to prepare.

Слайд 32

THE FAMILY DOESN'T OPEN PRESENTS ON CHRISTMAS DAY
Instead of opening presents

on Christmas Day, the Royal Family exchanges gifts in the Red Drawing Room during tea time on Christmas Eve.

Слайд 33

GARLIC ISN'T ALLOWED AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE
It's rumoured that the Queen hates

garlic, so no dishes at Buckingham Palace are made with the ingredient.

Слайд 34

...AND NEITHER ARE POTATOES, RICE, AND PASTA
The Queen has strict rules

against eating potatoes, rice, or pasta for dinner.

Слайд 35

THE FAMILY IS EXPECTED TO LEARN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES
Prince George has already

learned to count in Spanish.

Слайд 36

A CLEAN-CUT, PUT-TOGETHER IMAGE IS KEY
Maybe that's why Kate gets her

hair blowdried three times a week.

Слайд 37

YOU CAN'T TURN YOUR BACK ON THE QUEEN
After a conversation with

the Queen has ended, she's the first to leave—no one is allowed to turn their back to her.

Слайд 38

EVEN THE CHILDREN ARE EXPECTED TO BE GRACEFUL
As soon as children

are born into the Royal Family, they're immediately groomed to both wave and speak gracefully.

Слайд 39

THE QUEEN'S WARDROBE MUST BE BRIGHT
The Queen is known for her

bright, neon-coloured outfits, as she likes to make sure she can be easily spotted in large crowds.

Слайд 40

WOMEN ARE EXPECTED TO SIT A CERTAIN WAY
The options are legs

crossed at the knee or ankle.

Слайд 41

IF THE QUEEN MOVES HER PURSE TO HER RIGHT ARM, HER

STAFF MUST CUT OFF HER CONVERSATION

The Queen uses her purse to send subtle signals to her staff. If she moves the purse from her left arm to her right, it's her hint that she's ready to finish her conversation.

Слайд 42

..AND WHEN SHE PLACES HER PURSE ON A TABLE, DINNER IS

OFFICIALLY OVER

If the Queen is at dinner and she puts her purse on the table, dinner needs to come to an end within five minutes.

Слайд 43

CLEAVAGE ISN'T A PART OF THE ROYAL DRESS CODE
Diana used her

clutches as a way to hide her cleavage when exiting a car.

Слайд 44

NICKNAMES ARE COMPLETELY FORBIDDEN
Even though the press still uses Kate's nickname,

she actually goes by Catherine.

Слайд 45

UTENSIL PLACEMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT
If Royals need to exit the room

during dinner, but haven't finished their food, they cross their utensils so the staff doesn't remove their plate. If they're finished with a meal, they place the utensils at an angle, with the handles at the bottom right of the plate.

Слайд 46

...AS IS TEACUP HOLDING
Royal Family members pinch the teacup handle with

their index finger and thumb, while their middle finger secures the bottom.

Слайд 47

CHIN PLACEMENT ISN'T OVERLOOKED
Royal women need to pose with their chin

parallel to the ground.

Слайд 48

THE QUEEN ISN'T REQUIRED TO HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENCE
The Queen is

the only person in the U.K. who may drive without a licence, or registration plates.

Слайд 49

THE QUEEN'S DOGS ARE ALWAYS PREPARED GOURMET MEALS
It's no secret that

the Queen loves her corgis, but, unlike your pets, hers are required to eat gourmet meals, prepared daily by an in-house chef and hand-delivered by a footman.
