Dinner Conversations Are Formulated
Reason: It preserves the etiquette of the event
Exception: None
When dining with the Royal Family, there are rigorous regulations about dinner talks. During the first course, King Charles, for example, speaks with the individual to his right. During the second meal, he engages in conversation with the individual to his left. People at the table are expected to converse softly with the person seated next to them; there will be no yelling across the table to get their point across. The King is particular about his seating arrangements, preferring to sit among people with whom he feels he will have an intriguing conversation.

The Family Can’t Eat Shellfish
Reason: The risk of food poisoning is too high
Exception: King Charles III sometimes can’t resist
Shellfish and rare meat are both common causes of food poisoning, which can result in cramping, nausea, vomiting, and a variety of other unpleasant symptoms. Food poisoning can be fatal in severe cases, especially among the old and infirm. Though not a strict “law,” the Royal Household generally avoids shellfish and raw meat due to its proclivity to cause disease. However, according to rumors, King Charles III is sometimes unable to resist the appeal of these dangerous meals.
