Why can't royals take selfies? If you have ever met a member of the royal family, you might be tempted to ask them for a selfie or an autograph.
But don't be surprised if they politely decline.
There are some good reasons why royals don't take selfies or give autographs as well as a whole host of other rather unusual protocols that they must adhere to.
What is the problem with selfies? For one thing, it's a question of security.
Royals are often surrounded by crowds of people who want to see them or talk to them.
Signing autographs or taking selfies could expose them to potential threats or harm.
Someone could use a pen or a phone as a weapon.
Also, it could create a lot of chaos and confusion in the crowd, making it harder for security personnel to protect them.
Another, and perhaps more important reason, is tradition.
Royals are expected to follow certain protocols and etiquette when they interact with the public.
Signing autographs or taking selfies could be seen as too informal or casual for their status and role.
It could also seem disrespectful to the people they're meeting or the events they are attending.
For example, if a royal is visiting a hospital or a charity, Signing autographs and taking selfies could distract from the purpose of their visit and the people they are there to support.
What are some other things that royals can't do?
There are quite a few things that are on the no-no list for royals.
They can't eat shellfish as it can cause food poisoning, which would affect their health and busy schedule.
Another rule says that two heirs, so Prince William and Prince George, are not allowed to fly together, which makes sense.
Less understandably, they can't play Monopoly.
Apparently this is because the game can cause arguments.
They also can't vote or express political opinions as they have to remain neutral and impartial as representatives of the state.
There are lots of rules around their clothes.
Generally, they need to be modest and when they travel abroad, they must always pack an all-black outfit in case they need to attend an unexpected funeral.
Hats must be worn to formal events and tights for women are essential.
No bare legs allowed. Handbags are also required. even if they're empty, though the Queen would use hers to great effect.
If she moved it from her left arm to her right arm, it was a signal to her staff that she wanted to wrap up a conversation.
These are just some of the strict rules and traditions that the royal family has to follow.
They might seem strange or outdated to us... but they are part of their history and heritage.
So what should you do if you see a royal?
Well, don't ask them for an autograph or a selfie, but you could give them a gift. and no matter how strange it is, they must accept it.
That's right, that's another one of the rules.
