Absolutely No Selfies
Reason: Royals don’t want people turning their back on/approaching them
Exception: None
Prince William follows this norm, as does the entire Royal Family. It makes sense once you think about it. Even though their millions of adoring followers want them to, the Royals rarely take selfies. This is because, according to Cosmopolitan’s Greg Agnew, the Royals do not want people turning their backs on them, which is a typical way to obtain a decent selfie. They also do not want people to approach and converse to them at random, as this could jeopardize their (the Royals’) safety.
The Queen Picks Out A Bride’s Wedding Tiara
Reason: The tiaras belong to the monarch
Exception: None
When Queen Elizabeth II was still alive, she had a very specific Royal Rule: she always chose the tiara for a Royal woman getting married. This restriction was made public after the Queen replied “no” to Meghan Markle’s wish to wear an emerald and diamond tiara. Meghan couldn’t wear the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara because the late Queen thought it was inappropriate, so she had to find something else. The Queen was not one to micromanage other people’s fashion choices, but when it came to tiaras, she was very particular.
