Secrets From The Royal Family

Even the rich and lavish royalty has rules

Apr 17, 2017

Growing up all little girls wanted to be princesses. But what we didn't realize at the time was all of the rules that came with the glamorous lifestyle. Lets look at a few rules that the royal family lives by.

1. When the Queen Is Done Eating So Are You

When it comes to eating with the royal family it is recommended that you follow the Queens lead. And that includes finishing when she is done as well. Lets hope you're not too hungry.

2. You Can't Vote

3. You Can Not Hold A Political Office

4. You Can Not Play Monopoly

As crazy as this one sounds this is an actual rule in the family. The game is said to become too vicious so the royal family made a rule back in 2008 saying that you can't play the game.

5. You Can't Be Touched By Non-Royals

6. You Can't Be Roman Catholic

While this is more of a recommendation again it is actually preferred that you stick to the Church of England.

7. You Need To Know Multiple Languages

8. You Can't Eat Shellfish

This to a seafood lover may be crazy but this one is a rule for good reason. You will never see the royal family eating shellfish out of fear that is could cause food poisoning and get someone sick. Better safe than sorry.

9. You Can't Wear Fur (Rule Sometimes Broken)

10. You Can't Be Addressed By Your Birth Name, This Includes Nicknames

If you ever meet someone who is a royal you won't hear people address them as "Natalie" or "Buck". When you become a royal you go by your new royal title. this can be seen with Princess Kate, or as she is known as Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge.

11. You Can Not Sign Anything Unofficial

12. You Must Always Look Presentable

When we see pictures of the royal family one of the first things we notice is how nice they always look. It is expected of you to always look your best, you wouldn't want the tabloids getting a picture of you in your leggings and sweater.

13. You Must Be As Charitable As Possible

14. You Must Give Up Your Former Career

Whether you were a teacher or a CEO once you become royalty you must give up your former career for this new life.

15. If You Were Once A Commoner You Can't Arrive At A Party Before The Blood Princess

16. Your Clothes Can't Send Ambiguous Messages

17. You Must Accept Gifts Graciously

18. Direct Heirs Can't Travel Together

19. All Holidays Are Spent Together

20. You Must Attend Royal Events

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
