Few people know that Kate Middleton, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, the wife of Britain's Prince William, cant wear diamonds whenever she wants to.
According to the Daily Mail, when the Princess was drawing flowers with the children, some of them asked her to autograph their sketches as a keepsake. Unfortunately, the Princess of Wales revealed that she isn't allowed to write her name, and refused to sign the drawings.
Kate Middleton Skips a Tiara for a Flower Crown for King Charles III's Coronation. It is believed the Princess of Wales opted for a more low-key look to match the atmosphere of the scaled-back ceremony.
Kate isn't allowed to vote in general elections and she must wear hats to formal events.
Although there's no 'royal rule' against wearing sandals (when Meghan Markle was a senior royal, she often wore them), Kate has only ever been seen wearing heeled sandals a few times, and has never been photographed in flat sandals. All that glitters.
While Kate has never revealed it, multiple outlets have claimed she is a British size six, or an American size two, with a 24-inch waistline. Her weight has remained roughly the same since her 2011 marriage to Prince William, as she still recycles the same outfits today that she wore back then.
Kate buys her shoes in three different sizes, a five, a 5.5 and a six. Like many people across the country, the reason behind this is very simple: comfort.
The monarch isn't a fan of a deep bath either, she is said to bathe in “no more than seven inches of water”, according to royal author Brian Hoey for the Daily Mail.
Kate Middleton, 40, is lucky in that she will have staff at Windsor that can do food shops for her. However, this has not stopped the Duchess of Cambridge from going shopping from time to time. Kate has often had to use a very clever different name to stop a shopkeeper from recognising her.
Hair must be perfect during all public appearances
For any public appearance, it is necessary for a royal's hair to appear silky smooth and neat at all times, and Middleton's swishy mane deserves credit to the blowouts she has done thrice a week.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl explained that, again, in typical royal fashion, “there is a hierarchy in all of this,” she says. “The Queen Consort, really, gets first choice of the Queen's jewelry. And after that is Princess of Wales, of course, Kate.
Kate Middleton wore a pearl and diamond necklace that belonged to Queen Elizabeth to her funeral.
The necklace was part of a set which included a tiara, brooch and earrings. The stunning piece was passed down to the Queen Mother, who wore it often until her 2002 death. It was later lent to Princess Kate from Queen Elizabeth.
Legs and knees must be kept together, which means crossing at the ankle is fine. Kate's go-to position was previously dubbed "the Duchess slant," where she keeps her knees and ankles tightly together and slants her legs to one side. They make the legs appear longer and are a more modest position.
Alexandrine was known by the nickname of "Adini" within her family. It became clear shortly after Alexandrine's birth that she was affected with Down syndrome. Unlike other disabled royal children, Alexandrine was not hidden away. She appeared in official family photographs and at events.
"Therefore, while the newly titled Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh will still have to curtsy to His Majesty King Charles and Her Majesty The Queen Consort, they will not have to curtsy any of the blood princes or princesses or those who have married one."
Not only is Kate Middleton known for her exquisite taste, from her Alexander McQueen dresses to her festive Catherine Walker coats, but the Princess of Wales is also known for keeping those outfits in a steady rotation. It turns out, rewearing outfits is a do for the royals.
Although it's rare for women of the royal family to wear shorts during engagements — Queen Elizabeth has never worn them in public and has been seen in pants only a handful of times throughout her reign — there are no rules against it.
"People would be amazed by the ordinary life William and I live. I do my own shopping," he told Newsweek. "Sometimes, when I come away from the meat counter in my local supermarket, I worry someone will snap me with their phone.
4. "Toilet" Blame this word's French origin for why it's banned in royal circles. If you're looking for a restroom in Buckingham Palace, ask for the loo or the lavatory.
Leave the table without a fuss. If royals need to use the restroom during a meal, they don't announce their intentions. They simply say, “Excuse me,” and leave it at that.
No washing machines
Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla's clothes are not allowed to be cleaned in washing machines—everything is hand washed. When they sent their clothing away to be cleaned, they found that some items of clothing were kept as souvenirs.
British Royal Family, why did Kate Middleton lose so much weight? According to an article published by the Neue Post, the trigger of the sudden Kate Middleton weight loss would be the three pregnancies supported at a short distance from each other, which debilitated his already fragile physique.
But once in a while, when she's feeling frisky, Kate shows off her legs with an outfit. Although it's a supposed royal rule that women in the family always wear nude pantyhose, Kate on occasion will forgo the stockings and bare her incredible legs.
