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

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s).

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
