Being part of the English royal family is not always fun. The proof is that it is forbidden for the Windsors to play this game, even though it is extremely popular!
Have you always dreamed of being a princess? Or, failing that, the life of a duchess? This information, revealed a few years ago by the British tabloid The Sun should suddenly make you want it! It must be said that life in a castle is sometimes not a pleasure…
Being part of a royal clan requires scrupulously respecting many dogmas, and just as many rules. Royal protocols are very strict, especially in England where the late Queen Elizabeth II imposed a whole bunch of precepts and other additional conventions throughout her reign. Women of the Windsor clan, for example, are not allowed to wear skirts or dresses that are too short. Prince William, his brother Harry, and others are also absolutely prohibited from taking selfies and signing autographs.
Royal couples also can’t hold hands in public, let alone talk politics. The British royal family actually has no opinion on the matter! But, in England, the bans don’t stop there. No member of the famous tribe is allowed to eat seafood on official travel. You shouldn’t risk food poisoning! Even more surprising: no one has the right to go to bed before the queen, or the king, if the crowned head is in the building.
There is one last rule, established by Elizabeth II during her long years of governance, which is surprising. Indeed, if checkers, small horses and other lotto games are authorized by the monarchy, no member of the royal family has the right to play this extremely popular board game: the Monopoly.
According to Prince Andrew, the Queen’s third child who was stripped of his royal titles and banned from his home the Royal Lodge for his involvement in the Epstein affair, this family board game was in fact banned by his mother because of too frequent disputes within the clan… The members of the royal family would therefore have a keen sense of competition! “We are not allowed to play Monopoly at home”the former Duke of York then announced. Before adding: “It’s getting too vicious.”. The legend does not say whether King Charles III, in power since September 2022, continued this ban after the death of his mother.
