Azt gondoltad eddig, hogy a királyi család élete csak játék és mese? Nem is tévedhettél volna nagyobbat! A royaloknak a mindennapokban egy csomó szigorú, nem egyszer egészen érthetetlen szabályt és hagyományt kell betartani. Feltűnt például, hogy György herceget gyakorlatilag mindig csak rövid nadrágban látni a képeken? Vagy, hogy Erzsébet királyné kezén mindig kell, hogy legyen egy kesztyű?

Az alábbiakban ezekből a furcsa és szigorú királyi szabályokból és hagyományokból válogattunk.

A legtöbb előírás Erzsébetet érinti

1. Amikor a királynő áll, a protokoll szerint a helyiségben mindenkinek követnie kell és fel kell állnia:

Today is #ArmedForcesDay! As Sovereign, The Queen is Head of the Armed Forces and maintains a close relationship with serving members and veterans of the Armed Forces, both in the United Kingdom @BritishArmy @RoyalNavy @royalairforceuk and in the Commonwealth. In 1945 The Queen (then Princess Elizabeth) joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), learning to drive and maintain vehicles, becoming the first female member of the Royal Family to join the Armed Services as a full-time active member #ArmedForcesDay Over the years The Queen, as Commander-in-chief, has met many servicemen and women of all ranks, and their families, both at home and overseas. In 2009 HM spoke about how "deeply thankful" she, and the entire nation, are for those who serve in the Armed Forces. #ArmedForces #SaluteOurForces

2. A királynő előtt a férfiaknak kötelező meghajolni, míg a nőknek pukedlizni kell köszönés közben:

Mrs Maria Silvina Caetano was also received by Her Majesty. 📷PA

3. Mindig a királynő választja ki, hogy a royal menyasszonyok milyen tiarát viselhetnek az esküvőjükön:

4. Ha az asztalnál a királynő befejezte az étkezést, senki más sem ehet tovább. De a beszélgetésnek is megvan a maga a rendje. A vacsorákon a királynő mindig a jobbján lévő asztalszomszéddal kezdi a beszélgetést, és csak a második fogásnál kezdhet csevegni a baloldali szomszédjával:

“It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all here tonight. As Head of the Commonwealth, I am delighted to be able to host this occasion in the United Kingdom, for the first time in many years. This Dinner is always an opportunity for us to come together, as friends, and I am grateful that so many of you are here with us this time.” – The Queen.

5. A nyilvános események során a királynő mindig kesztyűt visel:

Next, The Queen and The Duchess met many members of the public in Chester City Centre as they walked to Chester Town Hall. There The Queen unveiled a plaque to commemorate the visit. Thank you to everyone who came out to meet Her Majesty and Her Royal Highness today in Cheshire, and for the lovely flower posies. #royalvisitcheshire

Katalin és Vilmos sem kivétel!

6. A királyi párok nyilvánosan nem igen fejezhetik ki az egymás iránti érzelmeiket, különösen külföldi utazásik során. Durva, de még a kézfogástól is tartózkodniuk kell. Míg ezt a szabályt Katalin és Vilmos általában szigorúan betartja, Harryt és Meghant rengetegszer láthattuk már kézen fogva megjelenni fontos eseményeken:

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen, hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace to mark today’s UK-Africa 🇬🇧🌍 Investment Summit. At the reception The Duke spoke of his love of Africa, saying: • “The African continent holds a very special place in my heart. • It is the place my father took my brother and me shortly after our mother died. • And when deciding where best to propose to Catherine, I could think of no more fitting place than Kenya to get down on one knee.” • Today’s Summit brought together Heads of State and Government and senior representatives from African countries, key multilateral agencies and high-profile UK and African businesses to demonstrate the strength of the relationship between the UK and Africa. Earlier in the day The Duke held audiences with President @nakufoaddo 🇬🇭 of Ghana and President @PaulKagame 🇷🇼 of Rwanda at Buckingham Palace. The Duke and Duchess were joined at this evening's reception by The Princess Royal and The Earl and Countess of Wessex. The Countess was also celebrating her birthday today — Happy Birthday!

7. Amikor a királyi család tagjai külföldre utaznak, mindig vinniük kell magukkal egy váltásnyi fekete ruhát. Ennek az oka elég morbid: ha hirtelen valaki meghalna, legyen mit felvenniük a temetésre:

This evening The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined Her Majesty The Queen and Members of @TheRoyalFamily to attend the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall. This year's #FestivalofRemembrance commemorated and honoured those from Britain, the Commonwealth and the Allies who made victory possible in the Second World War. As they fought together 75 years ago, this evening we honoured them today by remembering together — the theme of this year's Festival of Remembrance. @RoyalBritishLegion #WeWillRememberThem 📷PA / The Royal British Legion

8. A nőknek minden formális eseményen kalapot kell viselniük, viszont este 6 után a kalapokat felváltják a tiarák.  Ha egy esemény beltéri és este 6 után kezdődik, akkor a kalap helyett már tiarát illik felvenni.  Még egy csavar a történetben, hogy tiarát csak férjezett nők hordhatnak.

9. Az sem mindegy, hogy a királyi család női tagjai hogyan pózolnak a képeken… Fontos odafigyelniük arra, hogy az álluk mindig párhuzamos maradjon a talajjal.

A szabályokat a legkisebbek is betartják

10. Két trónörökös nem utazhat együtt. Ez azt jelenti, hogy miután György herceg 12 éves lesz, neki és Vilmosnak külön kell utazniuk.

11. György hercegre is szigorú dress code vonatkozik. Ha esik, ha fúj, neki mindig rövidnadrágot kell hordania, általában hosszú zoknival.

11. Ez lehet az egyik legfurcsább szabály: a királyi család tagjainak tilos monopolyzni. Azért a royal gyerekek valószínűleg így sem unatkoznak sokat…

Harry és Meghan láthatóan nem volt oda ezekért a szabályokért

12. A királyi család tagjait elvileg nem lehet megérinteni. Ezt a szabályt is többször megszegte már Harry és Meghan, akik előszeretettel ölelkeznek másokkal is a kamera előtt.

While in Johannesburg today, The Duchess of Sussex visited Victoria Yards, which celebrates the power of community, bringing local artisans and “makers” together to rebuild, support and learn from each other on a holistic level. It was an exceptional afternoon where The Duchess had the chance to connect with the children and founders of the phenomenal programme for kids’ development Timbuktu in The Valley. She was also struck by the local denim designer who founded eponymous brand Tshepo who shared this info about the logo for his line: “The crown on my jeans represents the three ladies who raised me. Enjoy wearing this crown.” Such a beautiful and touching sentiment! Artists, artisans, sculptors, metal workers and carpenters are all part of the fabric of Victoria Yards, but it also utilizes the power of The DICE programme which supports several other local organisations in their work with marginalised youth and women. These include: 94 Colours (run by The Duchess’ guides for the day, Hector and Sibusiso), CDP (a development programme for young unemployed and marginalised women that provides training to start creative enterprises), Enke (rebuilds the confidence and self-belief of unemployed youth through training and practical experience), 26’10 South (an architecture firm designing a local youth centre) and ReimagiNation (works with local secondary school students to create a social and creative enterprising mindset). Stay tuned for more updates from this special afternoon… #RoyalVisitSouthAfrica
