[Music] every family has their own traditions that they follow but their traditions probably don't come close to the rules the royal family has to follow they've passed down their traditions for centuries from generation to generation just wait until you hear the interesting rituals that take place during royal dinners let's just say you better not be a super slow eater or you might offend the Queen keep watching this video to find out more if this is your first time visiting our channel don't forget to subscribe and please give this video a big thumbs up today we'll be showing you 20 rules all royal family members need to follow from birth no monopoly some families love to spend time together and bond by playing a board game like the real estate themed game Monopoly since 1935 people from far and wide have been passing go and collecting $200 with this classic game everyone except for the royal family that is in 2008 the Leeds Building Society gave Prince Andrew Duke of York that game as a gift but he admitted that the Royals weren't allowed to play it because the competition would get too vicious we have to say they're definitely missing out on some fun gender-reveal some couples can't wait to announce the gender of their unborn baby to their family and friends but gender reveals are done a bit differently in the royal family parents are actually forbidden from announcing the gender of the baby until it's born this turns the pregnancy into a fun event where the public can make bets and guesses on whether the mom will have a boy or a girl there's a chance this long-standing tradition might change in the next few years but for now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have continued to stick with this tradition throughout their multiple pregnancies hands off when visitors from other countries meet a member of the royal family it can be a truly nerve-wracking experience because there are so many etiquette rules to abide by many visitors have accidentally broken a bunch of these traditions and customs most people aren't aware that there's a strict no touching rule when it comes to the Royals this rule dates back to medieval times when monarchs were considered gods and therefore they were to remain on whoa no touchy no touchy no touchy in 2009 former united states first lady michelle obama shocked the entire world when she and the queen embraced each other while the brits were ticked off by michelle getting a bit too handy judging by this picture it looks like the Queen was really digging the PDA NBA player LeBron James made a similar mistake when he wrapped his sweaty arm around Kate Middleton's shoulder in this photo you can see the awkward expression on Kate's face it's pretty clear some Royals are okay with being touched while others aren't to play it safe we'll just stick with the hands-off rule if we ever come in contact with someone from this family sit like a royal women in the royal family aren't allowed to just flop down on a chair however they want they must sit in a very particular way all you have to do is pull up photos of Kate Middleton and Princess Diana to see how a royal lady is supposed to sit women aren't allowed to cross their legs at the knees instead their legs must be kept together and they can cross them at the ankles if they wish leaning their body to the side known as the Duchess slant also ensures perfect posture and makes their legs appear longer morbid outfit when traveling the royal family must pack very specific clothes when it comes to the children Prince George must have at least five pairs of shorts of various colors in his luggage Princess Charlotte must have at least 10 barrettes and the Duchess must have at least two pairs of beige pumps and lastly each member of the royal family must pack an all black morning outfit just in case a relative passes away while they're away from home this ensures that when they return to the UK and step off of the plane they'll already be dressed in a respectable and somber outfit to pay their respects to kids royal couples are welcome to have three or four kids but traditionally members of this family tend to have no less than two children the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have broken this tradition by having three kids of their own but no one seemed to mind in fact Queen Elizabeth and members of both families have said to be delighted by the news that the couple was having a third bundle of joy we think it would be awesome if they expanded their family even further by having four five or even six kids in the near future don't turn your back whenever someone comes in contact with the Queen they're instructed to never turn their back to her it can be seen as a sign of rudeness and disrespect so everyone must ensure they're always facing her or standing off to the side of her at all times when former US President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle paid her a visit they were briefed on all of the Royal rules so they made sure to have their backs to the cameras multiple times in order to talk to the Queen and they only turned forward to face the media when it was time to take photos breastfeeding most royal children have been breastfed but the family has gotten rid of a long tradition of having wet nurses a wet nurse is a woman who breastfeeds on behalf of the mother and in the past the royal family employed many lactating women to get the job done the women who were hired had to at least be a good character and have a healthy appearance in order to be chosen to breastfeed the Royal offspring in later years Princess Diana broke this tradition by insisting on nursing William and Harry herself special order the next time the royal family pops up on your television screen pay close attention to the way they walk and where they're seated a lot of people don't realize that the family must all walk and sit in a very special order they line up in accordance to who's next in line to the throne the official order goes like this queen elizabeth ii is first and her husband Prince Philip is always right behind her then comes Prince Charles and his wife Camilla Prince William is up next followed by the Duchess and so on you will never see them pictured out of this order at formal events follow the Queen during grand dinners everyone must follow the behavior of the Queen tea and snacks are usually on the menu and tradition states that once the Queen takes her very last bite everyone else must stop eating as well and when she stands everyone must follow suit this could turn into a problem if a royal family member is a really slow eater but if they take another bite of food after the Queen is all finished with her plate they might come across as rude and impolite dinner chats speaking out of turn is looked down upon when you're dining with the Queen and something Formula one racer Lewis Hamilton found out the hard way when it's time to feast the guest of honor usually sits to the right of the Queen and she speaks to that person during the first course of the dinner then she speaks to the person on her left during the second course Lewis wasn't aware of this royal rule so he began chatting it up when he wasn't supposed to be speaking to her someone actually had to politely tell him that it wasn't his turn to chat how embarrassing baptism outfit whenever a new baby is baptized by the head of the English church they wear a very specific outfit the same flowy lace and satin dress has been used in royal baptisms since 1841 considering it has been around for so long it's no surprise that it began to wither away as the years passed by in 2015 queen elizabeth ii hired a dressmaker to create an exact duplicate of the traditional dress just in time for princess Charlotte's baptism so although it wasn't the exact dress that had been worn by over 60 different royal babies it was pretty much an exact copy potty break you never know when nature might call where does he think he's going but if the Royals need to use the potty during a meal or any other event if they're expected to do so in the proper way you'll never hear a royal shout out hey I need to take a tinkle instead they're expected to simply say excuse me and quietly walk to the restroom if they're excusing themselves during the middle of a meal they're expected to cross their utensils on their plate so that the waitstaff knows that they're not finished eating royal ham shake there's a very specific wave Royals are taught to shake hands to start they must make direct eye contact with the person in front of them as they firmly grasp their hand then they shake their hand once or twice but they never ever shake more than twice then they're supposed to flash their beautiful royal smile this tradition is something that anyone can implement into their lives the next time you meet someone new give him a royal handshake and pretend like you're a part of this prestigious family cloth diapers for centuries Olive Oyl babies wore fabric diapers that were washed and reused over and over again but some royal mothers moved away from that tradition in later years Princess Diana was the first to break many royal traditions including the use of cloth nappies she also refused to give birth at home and gave birth to her sons William and Harry in a hospital instead Prince William is also known as the first royal baby to wear disposable diapers instead of the cloth ones nanny duties if you've ever dreamed of being a royal babysitter you'll need to be highly qualified to even be considered for the job the royal family doesn't take to hiring process lightly and they make sure everyone who's a part of the royal household is the perfect fit to maintain the family's tradition the nanny must be skilled in how to effectively communicate and it's also helpful if they have some type of background in martial arts you know just in case they need to whoop some but to protect the royal baby the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hired a nanny named Maria who was skilled in Taekwondo she also underwent training on how to dodge the paparazzi with a vehicle and how to drive in various weather conditions curtsey when meeting with the Queen men and women must greet her in a very traditional and formal way for men they bow their necks from the head only as for the women they're supposed to give a small cutscene the longer they hold the curtsy the more respectful it comes across in this picture you can see the Duke and Duchess happily greeting the Queen in the respectful and traditional way for those who aren't British they can also greet her by these traditional gestures but it's not expected if the Queen isn't your head of state wedding bouquet even a royal bride's wedding bouquet has to stick to the traditions and customs of the royal family all wedding bouquets must contain the Myrtle flower which is taken from a tree that's grown in Queen Victoria's a hundred and seventy year old garden each bouquet including the Duchess of Cambridge's bouquet from her 2011 wedding has contained at least a sprig of Myrtle this flower is a sign of luck and happiness in the marriage and it's also considered a symbol of love during the next Royal Wedding pay close attention to the bride's bouquet we guarantee it there will be a sprig of Myrtle in there somewhere kids clothing there's a reason why you never see Prince George in a pair of pants his parents are dressing him the same way all royal babies have dressed for him tradition calls for only adults to wear pants and trousers so even if it's freezing cold outside Jorge will always have his adorable little shorts on he'll be expected to dress in this manner up until he reaches the age of eight and that's when he'll officially be allowed to wear trousers his father William also wore shorts in the early years of his life four names and lastly all royal babies are given either three or four names Prince William's official name is William Arthur Philip Louis and Prince Harry's real name is Henry Charles Albert David some may be surprised to know that the Royals don't have an official last name if a last name is required such as when Prince George was enrolled into school their title can be used in that place instead so for example Prince George uses the last name of Cambridge when he attends school pretty fascinating isn't it let us know which of these royal rules shocked you the most the most original reply will get pinned to our Channel be sure to subscribe to

Rules, walk softly, speak non-committal nonsense and do not appear to be happy with all the wealth and power, ever.

The Monopoly thing is not because they are royal. My family has the same rule. People go vicious when they start playing and everyone gets pissed at each other.
