The life of a princess is not merely a fairytale; it comes with many rules and conditions. Princess Kate Middleton has to follow many protocols every day since she is married to Prince William, who is second in line in the succession of the British throne. It must be very hard for her to keep up with the strict rules even she already belonged to the royal family.
We all know about the struggle Princess Diana and Meghan Markel had to go through in order to adapt to the lifestyle and rules they had to follow to live in Buckingham Palace. Here are some of Princess Kate Middleton’s bonker rules the Duchess of Cambridge has to follow.
1. She cannot give autographs
Kate Middleton is no less than a celebrity as she is married to Prince William, who is second line heir to the British throne, and that can one day make Princess Middleton a queen of England. But do you know she cannot sign an autograph for a fan no matter how much she wants to?
This rule is in place for centuries now for all the royals. The reason behind this strict rule is that no one can forge the signature on any document on behalf of the royal family. Princess Middleton is only allowed to sign the official documents and have handshakes with the fans.
2. She cannot earn profit from getting work
Modern-day females are financially independent, and they have their means of earning profits, but this does not apply to the ladies who belong to the royal family. Do you know that Kate Middleton is a professional level photographer, and she is releasing the photographs throughout the year? Princess Middleton has also published a Photographer book by the name of Hold Still.
There is a royal rule that Princess Middleton can not earn profit out of any work, either it is personal work or any official royal endeavors. So the Princess’s photography work is released through the Palace, and she does not earn any personal profit.
3. When the Queen Finishes eating, so do the Princess
It is one of the strangest rules that Kate has to follow, and its rule applies to all other royals and on the commoners or royal guests. The rule is everyone has to stop eating when the Queen is done with her meal.
The Queen former butler once said in an interview that a royal guest was continuously peeling the fruit in his dessert and eating, and he did not notice that the Queen has quit eating. He was embarrassed after he noticed that the Queen is not eating. But the Queen took a sip of something to save the guest from the awkward situation.
4. There is a restriction on the eating of oysters and mussels
The Princess Kate cannot eat the shellfish, including the mussels and oysters, because of the health risk associated with them. Shellfish are a common source of food poisoning if they are not stored or cooked properly. Queen Elizabeth II herself strictly abides by this rule. Shellfish are low in calories and rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
The Royal Butler, Grant Harold, told the magazine Woman & Home that “It is a very sensible move to abandon having seafood when out and about on public duties. We don’t want a member of the Royal family having a serious reaction to food poisoning, especially if she is on an overseas tour.”
5. She cannot pot on flashy nail colors
It is very hard to choose among the dozens of shades of nail paints which one to apply, but Princess Kate does not have to go through this struggle every day. Because she does not have much of the choice when it comes to the nail colors.
According to the royal rule, the Cambridge Duchess can only apply the natural and subtle tones. As a result, princess Middleton is only seen wearing two shades: Nude 423 Allure by Essie and Soft Pink 28 Rose Lounge by Bourjois. Queen Elizabeth’s favorite nail enamel is Ballet Slippers by Essie, and she has been wearing this iconic nail polish shade since 1989.
6. She cannot have a personal social media account
No one in the royal including princess Kate is allowed to have a personal social media account. Imagine how boring it will be to have no social media account in this era every; almost every other person has Insta, Twitter, or Facebook account.
There is a very good reason why the royals cannot have a presence on social media. The reason is that no one takes the messages and the pictures out of context. There are official royal accounts that cover all the royal happenings. The communication professionals manage these accounts, and they choose the photos and the texts very carefully.
7. The public display of affection (PDA) is considered inappropriate
It is not a formal law that royal couples will not show affection in public. The rule is enacted by Queen Elizabeth II, who found Public display of affection inappropriate. That is why you have never seen Prince William and Kate smooching in public, and the rule also not allowed holding hands in public.
The only time the world has seen intimacy between Prince William and Kate has a kiss on the lips on their wedding day. Otherwise, affection is allowed behind closed doors. On the other hand, Prince Harry and Meghan Markel do not abide by this rule of Queen Elizabeth II.
8. She has to follow the dress code
All the women joining the royal family have to follow the strict rules and regulations related to the dress code. They are supposed to dress smartly and modestly. So you will never see Princess Kate wearing vibrant colors and patterns or leather boots. The Duchess of Cambridge also does not wear trainers or joggers unless she has to participate in any specific occasion, such as charity tennis matches.
If you come across Princess Kate’s photograph wearing leather boots, it might be a picture before getting married to Prince William. But, of course, she still can wear leather boots, but if it is confirmed that the animal has lived a humane life and was not abused in the whole process.
9. Princess Kate cannot take part in politics
All the royals have to remain neutral when it comes to politics and political views. The royals also do not take part in the voting system but remember that by law, there are no restrictions on the royals to cast a vote but still, the royals prefer to avoid it so as not to damage the family’s reputation.
Princess Middleton cannot apply to the parliament, and she cannot hold any political office. Therefore, she has to remain impartial if a question is asked from her about her political view. She is also discouraged from initiating political discussion by herself in public.
10. She cannot wear provocative dresses
As said earlier, Princess Kate has to follow a strict dress code, including that she has to refrain from wearing provocative dresses. She is not allowed to wear flashy colors and bold dresses. When Kate was not married into the royal family, she had a more flamboyant style and wore dresses that show more skin. But now you will always see her wearing elegant dresses. Such outfits are often described as “provocative,” yet the appropriateness of that term remains unchallenged.
As per the royal rules, Princess Kate Middleton is not allowed to wear dresses above the knees, short and tight dresses, dresses showing cleavage or clavicles, and see-through dresses.
11. She is not allowed to wear black in her daily routine
It is a rule that all the royals wear a black dress when mourning out of respect, so Princess Kate avoids wearing black color in her daily routine, and she does not wear this color, especially in the daytime. The royal protocol is that whenever a royal family member goes on a tour abroad, they must pack the black suits in their luggage.
This rule was enacted when in 1952, King George VI died while Queen Elizabeth II was on her journey through Africa and she did not have any black dress in her luggage and had to return to England in an unsuitable dress. After this incident, the Queen has made it a rule that every royal must pack a black dress when going abroad.
12. She cannot play Monopoly
It is the strangest rule in the list of royal forbidden things. Monopoly Board Game is not allowed to play in the royal Palace along with other board games. Moreover, In 2008, on one occasion, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, was presented with a monopoly board game gift, and he explained that Monopoly game is banned in the Palace because “the family becomes too vicious.”
So Princess Kate may be very competitive on the board – games, but she cannot play one. Maybe she should go for Uno or Hungry Hippos on her family game nights or Christmas at Sandringham.
13. She cannot travel with two heirs at the same time
It is a rule in the royal family that no two members of the royal family who are in direct line of succession to the British throne can travel together by plane or by car. The reason behind this rule is that if unfortunately, they come across any accident, it does not take two or more heirs.
To abide by this rule, Princess Kate Middleton cannot aboard the same plane with Prince Charles and Prince William at the same time. When Prince George gets 12 years old, he will also have to travel in a separate plane and won’t join his parents and siblings.
14. She must take proper care of her appearance
Duchess of Cambridge is not only a Windsor, but she is also a celebrity, and paparazzi are waiting for her to get her photographed. She also can be invited any time for dinner or any occasion with her husband, Prince William. Hence, the Princess has to be in her best shape all the time.
For that, Princess Kate visit the salon frequently, and most of the time, her stylist come to her home as the Princess like to style her hairs and manicure in the comfort of her home. The Princess gets her hair trimmed every six to eight weeks, and for glowing skin, she uses Karen Herzog skincare.
15. The only religion she can have is Protestant Anglican
This rule is not just for the Duchess of Cambridge. All the royal family members cannot belong to any other religion other than Protestant Anglican. as per the royal tradition, the British monarch is head of the Protestant Anglican church, which is why there is an emphasis on the royals to be Protestant Anglican only.
In 1701 the Act of Settlement was passed and settled the succession of Irish and British crown on Protestants only. According to this settlement, the decedents of Prince Charles I was no longer heirs of the British crown, except his one protestant granddaughter Princess Anne who later became Queen of England.
16. She must spend Christmas with the family
It is another royal tradition that all the royal family members must celebrate Christmas together at Sandringham Palace in Norfolk. Moreover, There is another tradition that the royal family does not exchange the Christmas gifts on Christmas day, but they rather exchange them on charismas’ Eve while having ea at the Red Room.
In 2020, as the UK was under lockdown due to the Covid – 19 pandemic, So, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with their kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louise spent their Christmas as just a family of five at their country home, Anmer Hall.
17. She cannot cry in public
It is definitely very hard to control your emotions, but Princess Kate does not choose; she is bound to control her emotions in public since she is married into a royal family.
Per the royal traditions, the Princess has to keep her calm in public even if she participates in any humanitarian or tribute event; she has to keep her composure and not cry. It is not like the royals are without emotions, but they have to maintain the public persona and steadfastness they have developed over the years. So you will never catch a tear running down the cheek of Middleton if she is ever filmed at the wedding or funeral.
18. She must follow the chin-rule
Kate Middleton and other royal women have to follow the chin rule: their chin must be parallel to the ground whenever they descend the stairs or pose for a photograph. According to the royal, if your chin is pointing up or down, it means that you are not interested or paying attention to what is happening.
It isn’t easy to keep your chin parallel to the ground and is not intuitive. The royal women learn this technique in the etiquette class. The chin rule is why you rarely see the candid pictures of Kate because she has to follow all the protocols.
19. The sex of the baby must be kept secret
There are some extensive rules and regulations related to childbirth that the royal couple has to adhere to. One such rule is that the royal couple will not reveal the sex of the baby. Everything is kept very confidential till the child is born.
Even in this time of advanced Medical science, the Duke and Duchess of the Cambridge kept the genders of their three children surprise for themselves. Queen Elizabeth II did not even announce her pregnancy in public; the only announcement made at that time stated that the Queen wouldn’t take public engagements for the next few months.
20. She walks two steps behind princes Williams at Official appointments
Princess Kate walks two steps behind Prince William whenever they are on any Official public appointment but remember it is not a submissive ritual. On many occasions, the Princess has been spotted pacing behind her husband to allow him to pull his rank by instigating the greeting rituals. Some people find this rule archaic and baffling, but the Princess is not questioning it while showing respect to the royal family.
But Meghan Markle does not care about this rule, and since she is back in the US, she is often seen taking the lead in greetings and conversations on her visits and different video talks.
21. She must be attentive to the Queen’s signals
Okay, so this one is an interesting rule; Princess Kate must be attentive to the Queen’s signals. The Queen spends most of her time greeting and meeting the dignitaries, having public engagements, meeting politicians and celebrities, and all this must be very tiring.
The royal historian Hugo Vickers said that Queen has some secret signals, and all her staff and Princess Kate have to be attentive to decipher the signals. Some of her signals are: when Queen wants to leave the dinner within five minutes, she puts her bag on the table, and when she shifts her bag from one arm to another, she is tired of the conversation.
22. No Nicknames in the Public
Almost all of the royals have nicknames, but they do not like to be called by their nicknames in public. According to the royal protocols, all the royal family members must be called by their proper name. When Princess Kate got married to Prince William, she got the title of Duchess of Cambridge, and most of the time is referred by this name.
Princess Kate also emphasizes calling her Catherine instead of Kate in the royal family; her proper name is Catherine Elizabeth Middleton. However, her nickname at the St Andrew School was Squeak, and Prince William often refer to her by the moniker.
23. The wedding bouquet must be Myrtle
You know that how much time people spend on wedding planning and arrangements. Every little detail from the wedding dress’s lace to the flowers in the wedding bouquet is chosen with care and interest. If the common people spend so much time on their wedding planning, you can imagine how thoughtfully royal weddings can be.
But the Duchess of Cambridge did not have many choices when it comes to choosing the flowers for her wedding bouquet. According to royal traditions, every royal bride has to carry the myrtles in the bouquet because myrtles symbolize good luck and happiness in the marriage. Queen Victoria set this tradition as she received the myrtles as her wedding gift from the groom’s grandmother.
24. She cannot become a royal family member without their approval
As shown in the Disney movies, the Prince passes by a village, sees a pretty villager girl, and decided to marry her, and then after going through some hurdles, the poor beautiful girl becomes Princess. All this can only happen in the movies only because the reality is different from it.
According to the wedding Act of 1722, the first six people in the line of succession need permission to marry if they and their descendants remain in the line of succession. So Kate could not marry without the approval of Prince William’s family. We wonder how the world looks if the royal family did not accept Princess Kate.
25. She cannot express her political views in public
We cannot recall any event where we hear Princess Kate expressing her political views in public. It is because that the Duchess of Cambridge cannot only Vote, but she has to remain neutral and do not talk about politics in public as not to damage the royal family’s respect.
If Princess Kate is questioned about her political opinion in any event of public engagement, she should remain impartial and take the side of any of the political parties. It is also advised that the Princess should not start to initiate the political conversation herself. All the royals are also not allowed to hold political office.
26. She must plan the dinners very carefully
Princess Kate Middleton is most of the time in charge of planning the royal dinner parties. She has to pay attention and avoid carelessness when choosing the menu items for the royal dinners. However, it is not like Princess Kate is doing all the arrangements; she only supervises them. The arrangements of the royal dinner parties are done by the company called The Marshal’s Office.
The Queen’s favorite items for dinner are fillet of beef, venison, pheasant, or salmon. The seating orders at the dinner party are also decided thoughtfully. The order is most of the time based on precedence.
27. A big No for Garlic
Garlic is completely banned in Buckingham Palace. Moreover, There is nothing wrong with garlic, but the fact is that Queen Elizabeth – II does not like garlic, and this ingredient is completely banned in the Palace. But Princess Kate can have as much garlic as she wants in the food outside of the Palace.
So the former royal Chef Darren McGrady told Recipes Plus that we could not make any dish with garlic or too many onions. He also said that we could not serve meat which is rare because the Queen always liked her meat very well – done.
28. She must accept gifts graciously
Princess Kate and all other royals must accept the gifts graciously and with a smile on their face. The royal family receives tons of gifts each year during their public engagement and overseas visits, and it is up to Queen to decide which gift to keep with them.
There is a strict rule regarding gifts that all the royals have to follow. The royals cannot accept gifts related to hospitality and services. They cannot accept a gift worth more than £150 from the people unknown to the royal family. Do you know sometimes the royal receives very lame gifts? In 2015 the Queen has gifted a throne from the “Game of Throne” miniature series, and one time Prince Andrew got a CD of Arctic Monkeys.
29. She cannot wear hats after 6 p.m.
Princess Kate has to follow the strict dress code. She has to wear the hats for every formal event, but she cannot wear a hat after 6 P.M. after that, she has to switch to the tiaras and the crowns. A senior tutor for the English Manner etiquettes consultancy, Diana Mather, said that “Up until the 1950s ladies were very seldom seen without a hat as it was not considered ‘the thing’ for ladies to show their hair in public, but now all that has changed and hats are for more formal occasions”.
Traditionally, the hats were worn at the front of the head, but they are put at the 45-degree angle in modern style.
30. She must maintain a clean image
This rule is not just for the Duchess of Cambridge, but all the royal family’s women must maintain a clean image. Of course, in the modern age, talking about the image related to the clothing feels awkward and derogatory, but the royals are still respectful of their ancient rules.
Princess Kate must not wear bold patterns and vibrant color dresses. She is not allowed to wear provocative and showing her cleavage. Her hands must be well-manicured, and she should only apply subtle color nail polish. That is the reason we have never seen Kate photographed in daring makeup and colorful dresses.
31. She must be well versed with different cultures
The Duchess of Cambridge is a public figure, and she accompanies her husband, Prince William, on most of his overseas visits. For that, there is a requirement that the Princess must be well versed with the culture of the countries she visits.
Before she goes on an overseas visit, her team briefs her about the history of the places she intends to visit. She is also briefed about the country’s culture, and her team chooses dresses and accessories for Princess Kate for her abroad visit. She does it in order to respect the people and culture of the host country.
32. She must not leave the room before Queen
In the list of all the ridiculous rules that Princess Kate has to follow, one rule is that she must not turn her back to the Queen. No one from the royal family van leaves the location before Queen. The Queen must always be the one to leave the location first, and all other members of the royal family and her staff should follow behind.
This rule comes under the curtsy of the monarch. It also includes that the royal family member must bow to the Queen when they see her for the first time. All such rules are taught to the Windsor’s in their etiquettes class.
33. The announcement of pregnancy
According to the strict protocols related to childbirth, the royals must announce the pregnancy of the royal couple to the public after the first 12 – weeks. However, princess Kate is the exception as her pregnancy was announced earlier than 12 – weeks.
Princess Kate experienced a lot of sickness and nausea in the first trimester of her first pregnancy, and she was usually absent from public and official events or occasion. Moreover, When the public started noticing her absence, the royal family decided to announce her pregnancy. But the royal family still keeps the gender of the baby a secret.
34. The child name is kept secret until birth
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with keeping your baby’s name secret. However, When the royal couple’s pregnancy is announced to the public, the child’s name and gender are kept secret until the birth. So Princess Kate was not allowed to reveal the name of her kids. However, there are some common names in the royal family for both males and females. The most common male names are George, James, Arthur, Charles, Edward, Albert, Fredrick, Louise, and Cristiana.
The Duke and Duchess have maintained the tradition of keeping their kid’s name secret, and the name of Prince George, Charlotte, and Prince Louise was released few days after their birth.
35. Princess Kate has to wave to the fans straight out of the maternity ward
The Duchess of Cambridge does not keep her discretion after the birth of the child. After the child’s birth, the announcement is displayed on a golden easel near Buckingham Palace. The notice includes the gender of the baby and the exact time of birth. A messenger also cries out the announcement of the royal baby on the streets of London.
Moreover, Princess Kate has to look perfectly in shape and elegant right after few hours of going through all the maternity pain and stuff because she has to do a public appearance with her newborn and wave to her fans.
36. She has to ensure that the kids behave in public
Princess Kate has to make sure that all kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louise, behave in public at all times. For that reason, the royal kids go through etiquette training along with their formal education at the private school.
The etiquette expert Myka Meier said that the royal kid’s etiquette training starts “as soon as they are old enough to sit at the table.” The Princess also should be attentive towards the kids’ posture. All the royal men and Children are prohibited from a slouch, and the parents have to correct them if they see the kids slumping.
37. The royal family tree:
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William, and Kate Middleton, have three kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louise, as for now, and their third child was born at the St Mary’s hospital in London at 11.a.m local time. But there are speculations that if the royal couple stops at the third, or they will have another kid to continuing the tradition.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philips had four children, and Prince Charles also has four kids. So let’s see how many kids the Cambridge family will have. However, it has been reported that the coupe was urged not to have any more kids due to climate change and limited resources.
38. She has to sit like royals
The royal females are not allowed to sit with their legs crossed at their knees. It is because princess Kate takes special care of her sitting and standing posture. The royal women have to sit with their legs and knees together, and crossing at ankles is considered fine.
Kate Middleton’s sitting style “Duchess Slant” is world-famous. She sits with her knees and ankles kept tightly together and slanting her legs to one side. This sitting posture makes the legs look longer. Princess Diana also used to sit like this on public engagement, and Meghan also adopted this style after becoming a royal family member.
39. She must hold the teacup upright
The royal rules are not only applied to Kate’s posture and dressing, but they also apply to how she holds a cup of tea. Whoo! she must be living a very tough life. However, the British love their tea time, and if they want to have a cup of it, they do it the right way.
Princess Kate and all other royals must hold the top of the teacup with their thumb and index finger and middle finger at the bottom to support the cup. The pinky must be kept in, and she should sip from one spot to avoid multiple lipstick stains.
40. The Queen must be informed before everyone else
There are so many rules and regulations regarding the birth of a royal baby. One such rule is that the first to know about the new member of the royal family is Queen, no matter what the circumstances are. So when Prince George was born, Prince William informed the Queen on an encrypted call.
an official statement released after the birth of Archie said, “the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince William, Kate Middleton and Princess Diana’s siblings Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Earl Spencer have been informed and are delighted with the news, about the birth of Archie.”
41. Announcement to the Public
Once the monarch is informed and all other royal family members, the announcement of the birth of the new Windsor is made public. There are two types of announcements made one is displaying the notice, and others through messenger.
A notice is displayed on the easel near Buckingham Palace stating the gender and time of the birth. Historically the notice was handwritten, but now it is a typed notice on a riyal letterhead, duly signed by the doctors. A town crier also announces the news to the public, referring to the medieval tradition. The current town crier is Tony Appleton, and he does not possess any legitimate royal position.
42. Do not show the cleavage
Cleavage, in embryology, the first few cellular divisions of a zygote (fertilized egg. There is a lot of emphasis on the dressing of Princess Kate. For example, she must not wear dresses that show cleavage or clavicles. She also had to avoid wearing vibrant colors and patterned dresses. In addition, there is a restriction on provocative dresses and bold cuts.
Princess Diana held her clutch tight against her chest while coming out of the car to cover herself. It seems a good trick to avoid the paparazzi clicking any inappropriate picture that will surely disturb the Queen and will put the future Queen in hot waters.
43. She must enter the room in order
Princess Kate must follow some strict etiquette rules when she is in the company of the royals. One such rule is that she must enter the room in order. All the royals enter the room by precedence, and the seating order is also according to this rule.
All the royals enter the room based on who is going to take the throne next. So it means Queen Elizabeth II enters the room first, followed by Prince Charles and Camilla, and after that enters Prince William and Princess Kate. Apart from this rule, Princess Kate has to follow other etiquettes like curtsy to the Queen and walk two steps behind Prince William.
44. Say Excuse Me
You say ‘Excuse me’ when you want to politely get someone’s attention, Another rule that Princess Kate has to follow is whenever she needs to use the restroom during dinner; she is supposed to say, “Excuse me.” it is one sensible rule, and we think there is no need to make a fuss out. According to us, everyone should adopt this royal rule because no one on the dinner table is ever interested to know that you are going to ding or relieve your bladder.
We believe that it is very rude to announce that you will hit the bathroom while someone is having their meal.
45. She should not remove her coat
You will never see Princess Kate removing her coat in public, and it is not because she might be feeling cold. On the contrary, even if she feels hot, the royal traditions do not allow her to remove it in public. It is because, according to the royal traditions, it is very unladylike, and all the royals must respect the royal family traditions.
If Kate feels uncomfortable and a little stuffy underneath all the layers, she has to step out of the public’s sight and cameras to remove the outer layer of her clothing. Meghan Markel has been noticed on few occasions breaking this rule, but Kate strictly follows them.
46. She must make a curtsy and bow
It is a royal rule that Princess Kate and any other royal family member must make curtsy or bow in front of the Queen when they see her for the first time on any given day. The tradition is a small head bow by the men and a small curtsy for women. The bow is a sign of respect.
Prince Kate is also supposed to curtsy in front of those who outrank her, For instance, Prince Philips and Charles. She also needs to curtsy Camilla Parker if she is with Prince Charles. If Prince William does not accompany Princess Kate, she must curtsy, Princess Anne, Eugenie, and Beatrice.
47. She must not wear wedges
Duchess of Cambridge must not wear wedges when the Queen is around because she does not like this style. According to Vanity Fair, this is not an official law but the ban on the Wedges on the Buckingham Palace is dictated entirely b the Queen’s preference and not just Kate Middleton but Meghan Markel s also not suppose to sport this style when Queen is around.
However, Princess Kate is a fan of Wedges heel, and she has worn the wedges on many occasions that did not include the Queen. For example, in 2016, Kate Middleton was photographed wearing gray monsoon wedges with a pale pink dress while outing with Prince William.
48. She should never throw a baby shower
Nowadays, many celebrities throw baby showers, but Princess Kate is not allowed to have one. She even had not any celebrations when she was pregnant with her first baby, Prince George. We think that Princess Kate might never care about not having a baby shower because these things are considered “American.”
Typically the British women wait for they give birth to the baby, and after that, they celebrate it with their friends and families. However, there are rumors that Kate Middleton’s sister Pippa Middleton throws a secret baby shower for her sister in 2013, but they are far from the truth and are just rumors.
49. She must not disclose her pain
Childbirth is an important monumental in women’s lives, and we all know how painful it can get at times. Therefore, it is another difficult rule for the royal women to keep their composure and not disclose their pain, no matter how bad their stomach hurts.
All her three pregnancies, Princess Kate, abide by this rule, and she did not let any negative comment about the pregnancy that would make media frenzy over it. The good thing is that the royal is allowed to use obstetric anesthesia. Queen Victoria for the used ether for at least two of her childbirth and de stigmatized the option for other royal ladies.
50. Marriage proposal
The most senior royals in the family need permission from the Queen. Prince William was second in line for the throne, so he did ask Queen’s permission. William proposed to Kate while they are on holiday in Kenya. Their engagement was to the public on 16th November 2010 through a formal press briefing. The whole world was delighted to hear about the royal engagement.
Princess Kate was wearing the famous royal blue dress by Iabel Issa, and after that, it was hard for Iabel to keep this dress in stock. It was undoubtedly the start of the “the Duchess Effect,” The world goes frenzy on almost everything Kate wears.
