10 Incredibly Strict Rules That Princesses Actually Have To Follow

#1 You must live by the Queen's household rules.

In the British Royal Family, the Queen makes all the major decisions. For instance, did you know that you have to stop eating when the Queen completes her meal? It doesn't matter if you still have food left.

#2 No nicknames.

That's right, you shed yourself of any childish nicknames before taking the crown.

#3 You may not vote.

Technically it's legal to vote, but this would be considered unconstitutional.

#4 You may not run for political office

Again, this would be considered unconstitutional.

#5 You must be well-groomed.

You literally have to be dressed to the nines 24 hours a day.

#6 You must be as charitable as possible.

Most princesses are tasked with finding at least one or two causes to support as much as possible. Many create their own charities too!

#7 You have to learn as many languages as possible.

This is so that when they visit other countries, they can have basic conversations with the members of other nations' royal families.

#8 You cannot eat shellfish.

This is because of a common royal fear of getting food poisoning. Their schedules are too busy to be held back by food poisoning!

#9 You give up any career you might have had before becoming a princess.

Being a princess is a full-time job.

#10 In the British Royal Family, princesses who were former commoners may never arrive at an event before a blood princess.

This rule changes, however, if they are with their spouse. For instance, Kate Middleton would never be allowed to enter an event before Princess Anne UNLESS she is with her spouse, Prince William.
