Like other families, the British royal family has a strict set of household rules that must be followed by every single member, including the children.
Here is a list of rules the young royals including George, Charlotte Louis and their soon to be born cousin must follow.
They must accept gifts but can't keep all of them
The Royals' official website says that if they receive a gift from someone they don't know personally, they may only keep items within reason like flowers, books with a noncontroversial subject matter and small items that cost less than $196.
The children need to be able to speak a foreign language
Learning foreign language is not compulsory but it has been done for many years. The Queen and her children all speak French fluently and Prince William was heard speaking it in Quebec in 2011. They were all taught as children. Prince George and Princess Charlotte started learning Spanish when they were three and two years old.
Children have to learn and perform the formal greeting
By the time they are five, children are expected to curtsy or bow to the Queen.
Wardrobe is limited
Little boys in the family only wear shorts wherever they go and start wearing trousers around the age of eight. Trousers are for older boys and men so we haven't seen William and Harry in shorts in a long time and never will.
Royal heirs are not supposed to travel with other heirs
William, Kate and their children all travel together but they are not supposed to. Heirs should travel separately to prevent multiple people being lost if an accident were to happen. It is a morbid rule but one that has been enforced in the past.
Etiquette training is compulsory
Royal children start etiquette training as soon as they are able to sit at a table. They are raised having regular formal meals and going to important events so it is very important for them to practice speaking at the right voice level, dressing appropriately, bowing or curtsying correctly and much more.
The children must have passports
Even though the royals are famous and recognizable, they all must have a passport. The children must have baby passports. The only person who does't need one is the Queen because the British passport is issued in her name.
