Every girl dreams of being a princess from the moment she first sees a Disney movie. A fairy-tale castle, a charming prince, and a kingdom as well — what could be better? However, the life of real princesses is not as easy as it may seem.
Sign autographs - Kate is allowed to be photographed with her fans and shake their hands, but she must not sign autographs. According to royal rules, she can put her signature only on official documents. The reason for this rule is Queen Elizabeth’s fear that someone might forge the signatures and use them against her family.
Work in an office - Before her marriage, Kate worked for her parents’ business for some time. The firm dealt with delivering goods and organizing events. Now Kate’s work is visiting charity dinners, schools, and hospital openings. It is believed that the Duchess doesn’t like such events much and tries to avoid them. For this reason, she was, perhaps rather unkindly, given the nickname "Lazy Kate" as some say she is the one who skips such meetings the most among all the royals.
Eat mussels or oysters - It’s unknown how upset Kate was when she was asked to refuse oysters. The ban is connected to the fact that oysters can cause allergies and become poisonous when stored incorrectly. Hence, the Duchess and other members of the royal family are forbidden to risk their health.
Wear a bright manicure - No rhinestones, chevrons, or broken glass on the nails. According to the dress code, the Duchess of Cambridge can use only nude-colored shades. Kate’s manicure usually consists of 2 shades: a tender pink (#28 Rose Lounge by Bourjois) and a sophisticated nude (#423 Allure by Essie).
Of course, it’s a universal option, but it would be great if a classical French manicure was allowed too. Otherwise, it’s slightly boring.
Kiss in public - Queen Elizabeth II considers it inappropriate to express feelings in public and insists that her grandchildren behave properly. Due to this rule, there were rumors about disturbances between Kate and William because they always keep a distance in public.
Go shopping alone - Kate likes shopping as much as any other girl. However, she cannot do it alone. The Duchess is allowed to visit supermarkets and modern London boutiques only with protection officers.
Well, it’s convenient to some extent because there is always someone available to ask if a dress suits you or not.
Vote - The Duchess, as well as other members of the royal family, is forbidden to vote or run for parliament. All monarchs undertake to keep neutrality and not spoil their reputation through politics.
Play Monopoly - According to royal protocol, there is a ban on Monopoly because the game is considered to be vicious and senseless.
It seems that Kate was not too upset by this. The main thing is that she can still play hockey, which she simply adores.
