Every Royal Wedding Party Must Include a Crop of Children
Reason: It’s British tradition
Exception: They can have a best man/maid of honor
If you’ve ever noticed, photos of Royal wedding parties often include a large number of children. Brides and grooms in the United States often prefer that no children be present at their weddings, however this is strictly prohibited in the Royal Family. Elle claims that it is a British practice to have children as pageboys and bridesmaids. Though royal weddings can have maids of honor, they do not follow the traditional bridesmaid/groomsmen arrangements found in most other weddings.

The family is not allowed to publicly discuss or have political opinions
Reason: They have to be above politics
Exception: Humanitarian causes (banning landmines, for example)
As indicated on this list, the Royal Family does not vote because they are expected to remain above politics. They do not become involved with the MPs since these leaders of state must remain impartial on all political issues. While the Royal Family may advocate for general humanitarian causes (which cannot be discussed), they are not permitted to express political views on tax legislation, current concerns, or scandals. The media has frequently worked itself ragged speculating on which side the Royal family leans, to no avail.
