They Can’t Wear Fur
Reason: The Fur Act of 1337
Exception: None
The Fur Act was enacted in 1337, during King Edward III’s reign. It prohibited the wearing of fur by anyone who was not a baron, earl, knight, or Church of England prelates. The only exceptions were wealthy individuals who spent more than $124 per year. This also featured Royal Family members. For seven centuries, the Royal Family has adhered to this guideline. Furthermore, the Act mandated all British people to wear clothing created in Britain, however the Royals have mainly ignored that provision.

They Always Travel With an All-Black Ensemble
Reason: In case they need to attend an important funeral or a Family member dies while they are abroad
Exception: None
When Princess Kate travels on Royal Tours, she usually packs at least one all-black ensemble. When a Royal travels to another country, they must pack an all-black outfit just in case. If someone important dies in the host country or a family member dies while they are abroad, the Royals must immediately change into their all-black outfits to pay respect. Though Netflix’s The Crown did not mention it, black is the Royals’ traditional hue of mourning, popularized by the late Queen Victoria when her husband, Prince Albert, died in 1861. She wore black for forty years in a row to memorialize him.
