Behind Palace Doors: The Rigorous Rules of Royalty Unveiled

10. Authorization for Animals

Rationale: To ensure that animals are secure and appropriate in royal homes. Queen's traditionally preferred pets, like corgis, are an exception. Adopting a pet, whether it's an inquisitive kitten or a joyful puppy, brings immense delight to most people. It's not so simple for the Royal Family, though. Previously, getting a pet required the monarch's approval to ensure that the animal fit into the royal lifestyle and the surroundings of the royal house.

Larger royal estates could be able to accommodate horses or dogs with ease, but it might be difficult to care for exotic pets or creatures with special needs. Nevertheless, it is commonly known that the Queen adores her corgis despite these regulations. Therefore, even though they have had many pets, they may have all received royal approval.

11. Wear only patriotic clothing.

Motivation: To foster patriotism and unity. An exception would be to show consideration for the host nation when traveling abroad. In a society where clothing says a thousand words, the Royal Family makes sure that their wardrobe selections reflect a sense of patriotism. Although they can afford to wear the best materials and custom designs, there's an unspoken rule that their clothing should primarily promote British designers and craftsmanship.

When Duchess Kate or Meghan wears a British brand, it immediately attracts attention from throughout the world, increasing sales and notoriety.
