Being royal has plenty of
perks, but it’s not always that great to be a part of the Family. Anyone who
has ever watched The Crown or any
other documentary about British Royal Family, knows that with the power and privileges
come also responsibilities and set of rules they’re obligated to follow. You
might have already heard about some of the Royals weird traditions, this is the
list of 5 rules that I, personally, find the most bizarre.
1.
They can not play Monopoly
Why? It’s simple.
Prince Andrew, Elisabeth II’s son, once he took part in some public event. He’s
been introduced to the game and its rules, but he didn’t quite liked it.
Therefore, he decided that Monopoly should be forbidden and members of the family
should not be allowed to play it.
2.
The British Royal Family can not eat seafood
Seafood can cause
food poisoning, that’s why the Royals can not eat crabs, mussels or shrimps.
3.
They have to weight themselves before and after the
Christmas Diner
That tradition dates
back to Edward VII’s times: he would care a lot that all of the family members leave the table being full.
4.
While traveling they always should have something
black with them
In case a member
of the Royal Family dies, they should be prepared and always have some black
outfit with them.
5.
The bag-code
It’s actually
pretty clever. According to the position of Queen’s bag, her staff can see when
she wants to end a conversation that lasts longer than it should. She can also
finish a whole meeting or diner, simply by putting her bag on the table.
Of course this is only small list
of weird rules that the Royal Family has to follow, there are many, many others…
