Why Princess Charlotte Can’t Sit with Her Parents
From standing up when the Queen stands, and refraining from moments of PDA, to the requirement of myrtle in all royal wedding bouquets, a lot goes into royal family protocol and etiquette.
However, little did we know that some of these rules apply to the youngest members of the monarchy, too.
Harpers Bazaar Australia reports that Kate Middleton and Prince William's children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, are forbidden from sitting with their parents until they have learned the "art of polite conversation."
I mean, if talking about nap time isn't "polite conversation," then what is?
In addition to reading up on polite dinnertime conversation in the years to come, Kate Middleton and Prince William’s kids are also reportedly required to learn more than one language.
Earlier this year, PEOPLE magazine reported that Princess Charlotte has already started learning Spanish, despite having only just started school. It's widely thought this is because her nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion, is a Spanish native and often speaks to the two-year-old in her mother tongue.
And when it comes to dressing, let's not forget the little ones also have to follow strict royal protocol.
Last July, the BBC confirmed it is mandatory for Prince George to wear shorts as a young male member of the Royal Family. Of course, he did break this rule last month when he wore trousers for his uncle Prince Harry’s royal wedding, at which he served as page boy.
Prince George, ever the risk-taker, right?
When it comes to Princess Charlotte’s style, the little princess is rarely seen without a colorful smock dress with a Peter Pan collar, a pair of Mary Jane shoes, and a matching bow.
