10 Rules Meghan Markle Has To Follow That We Could Never

Prince Harry might be a catch, but I’m not sure if he’d be worth me starving from lunch until 8:30.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably well aware that on May 19th, American Meghan Markle married Prince Harry. To most of us, this seems like a dream come true. A normal, American girl who started out as just an actress became a duchess. It might seem like all luxury and Prince Charming, but Meghan’s life really is about to change in some negative ways too.

Here are 10 Rules that Meghan Markle now has to follow that most of us could never:

1. No Selfies

Yep, no selfies. This means you couldn’t whip out the puppy filter with your friends, and you couldn’t take endless amounts of pictures of yourself until you finally get the perfect one for Instagram.

2. No Miniskirts

Hemlines can be no higher than an inch or two above the knee. So if you really want to be royalty, you’re gonna have to throw out your favorite short sundresses and skirts.

3. Dinner time is at 8:30

The Queen is known for sticking to a very strict royal schedule, and this includes dinner from 8:30 to 10. Prince Harry might be a catch, but I’m not sure if he’d be worth me starving from lunch until 8:30.

4. Meghan Can’t Vote

Royals are expected to not discuss specific political views, and they don’t vote. I don’t know about you, but the only way I’d be able to keep my views to myself would be if I were locked away for the rest of my life.

5. No Monopoly

Okay I’ll admit, I could live without this one… but it was too weird to not mention. The royal family is forbidden from playing the board game because apparently the games would get “too vicious.”

6. The Duchess Slant

The term “duchess slant” describes the way that Kate Middleton sits with her knees and ankles together, slanted to one side. Meghan is expected to do the same as it only shows the sides of your legs and protects your modesty. The idea of always having to think when you’re just trying to sit down sounds like too much to me.

7. No Crossbody Bags

Royals always have to carry a clutch instead of a purse, because a clutch is a way for royals to avoid shaking hands. So that means no cute purses and crossbody bags… convenience doesn’t seem to matter to the royal family.

8. No Shellfish

For centuries, the Royal Family has not been allowed to have shellfish to avoid getting food poisoning. No more California rolls, lobster, or shrimp… yeah, this whole “royal” thing is starting to not sound so good…

9. No colored nail polish

Queen Elizabeth thinks that any nail color other than pale colors are cheap looking. That means those dark winter nails or bright summer nails have got to go.

10. No tiara until 6 pm

Yeah no, I’m still jealous of her. Any amount of time wearing a beautiful tiara sounds good to me.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
