The wedding of Britain's Prince Harry and his wife-to-be Meghan has attracted global attention. Many people envy Meghan, the mixed-race American star, for being able to marry into a wealthy royal family.
Although marrying into the royal family brings endless glory and wealth, the royal family is not as beautiful as people imagine. As a symbol of Britain, the royal family has many rules. If the rules are broken, it will not only lose the royal family. His face will also become the target of criticism. Therefore, no matter who marries into the royal family, they must abide by the royal rules and regulations.
According to records, the British royal family has many internal rules, covering various aspects such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Let’s take a look at these rules.
1. Eat
Britain is a very gentlemanly country, and it once boasted itself as the creator of gentlemen in the world. It is undeniable that the British gentlemanly behavior deserves praise. However, these etiquettes all originated from ancient royal and aristocratic families, and it took hundreds of years of evolution to form the British gentlemanly demeanor.
The royal family not only has grand banquet scenes like those in movies and TV series, but also has the rule of three meals a day. As the saying goes: One emperor and one generation follow the rules. Now the rules of the British royal family revolve around the Queen. So there are some rules when it comes to eating. For example, seafood is a delicacy in people's minds, but in the British royal family, shellfish are not allowed to be eaten. The royal family believes that these shellfish are easy to cause diseases. So Meghan, who is about to marry into the British royal family, has to say goodbye to shellfish. Of course it's your own business to eat secretly.
2. Wear
Nowadays, the attire of royal members of European countries that still retain monarchy has become the object of people's attention, whether they are making an appearance or visiting abroad. In particular, the dressing of princesses and princesses can be said to be both a sight and a symbol of fashion.
Britain was once known as the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" and had the most colonies in the world. Even now, some countries are members of the Commonwealth, so it is common for a prince to visit abroad or inspect Commonwealth member states. Of course, the princess will be accompanied, more precisely, in diplomatic activities.
However, the queen stipulates that when the prince takes the princess on visits, vacations, inspections and other activities, the princess must carry a black suit with her. The reason for wearing such clothing is mainly for funerals. The Queen is very considerate. If an important person dies during a trip, as a princess, she must wear a black suit to show respect for the deceased.
In addition, female members of the royal family are not allowed to wear shorts, short skirts, low-cut tops, or even fashionable ripped jeans. Meghan should be careful when she gets married in the future.
3. Accommodation
According to records, after members of the British royal family get married, both princes and princesses have their own dedicated residences. These residences are not like those in our country, where you can just buy a new house to live in. The residences of the British royal family are old houses that have lasted for hundreds of years and were left behind by previous members of the royal family.
According to records, the crown prince’s residence is different from that of other princes. Prince William currently lives in Anmer Manor, a large villa. If Prince Harry gets married, he will not be able to live wherever he wants. He will have to obtain the Queen's permission before he can choose his residence.
It is said that Prince Harry lived in York Villa after getting married. This villa is very close to the Queen and not far from Prince William's residence. Although this villa is elegant and quiet, it is a villa that is disliked by the royal family and is also called a "haunted house".
According to records, Queen Victoria particularly disliked this villa and called York Villa an "unfortunate and sad" place. According to historical records, Prince Eddie lived here in 1892 and died in this villa at the age of 28. Later, people also said that there was a ghost of King Eddie in this villa. After Prince Eddie's death, it has been used as an office for royal staff.
Even in such a villa, anyone who is given it will have to live in it.
4. OK
Members of the British royal family also have a set of rules when traveling. If you attend a large banquet, or appear together in public, then of course the queen will be the one walking in the front, followed by the queen in order.
Prince William is the crown prince. It is said that he gave birth to a third child, so Harry’s ranking as crown prince has dropped again. Therefore, when traveling, the two princesses have different positions. If Meghan gets married, she will have to walk behind Princess Kate. These are rules and regulations.
5. Play
The royal family members have also added many regulations to keep pace with the times. For example, members of the royal family cannot use social media at will. Even if Meghan is a star with millions of fans, After marrying into the royal family, you have to cut off social media. It is said that Meghan closed her account in January. Of course, it’s not okay to play *** with your phone.
However, the royal family also has its own official account. As long as it does not violate the regulations, you can also log in to the official account to post about the wonderful life of the royal family.
So the royal family is not a paradise as people imagine. There are many regulations that ordinary people have never experienced. Of course, girls who yearn for the royal family are not free to marry into a wealthy royal family, and it will take some time to adapt.
