Here's More Ridiculous Royal Rules For Meghan Markle To Break
Meghan Markle's profile has been raised to international attention after her swift courtship with (and soon to be wedding to) Prince Harry. She is the most radical choice of partner a royal family member has chosen yet — she’s an actress, she’s American, and she’s Black. So yeah, you know we're all rooting for her!
However, her impending royal status means that she will soon be playing by a whole different book of rules. No, seriously — royals have a lot of rules, many of which are absolutely bonkers, and she's already broken two.
See below the new norms Meghan will have to get accustomed to.
No shellfish
Royal family members are discouraged from consuming shellfish to avoid food-borne illnesses. However, Harry's father, Charles, has been known to break this rule from time to time.
No 'Best Man' at weddings
Harry's brother broke this rule at his wedding when Harry served as his "best man," which is usually not allowed at royal weddings. Harry is expected to follow in Will's footsteps, returning the favor and making him his best man.
No PDA – not even hand holding!
Hats! Hats! Hats!
No politics!
No Work!
No selfies with fans!
no monopoly!
Royals are forbidden from playing Monopoly. "We're not allowed to play Monopoly at home. It gets too vicious," Prince Andrew, Harry's uncle, said in 2008. Yes, even the royals can't play nice during the OG of board games.
