10 Surprising Rules Princess Charlotte Must Follow
Being a princess is not just about waving at photographers and living in a castle.
There are several strict regulations that young princesses must abide by, and Princess Charlotte is no exception.
Here are 10 surprisingly specific rules that Princess Charlotte must follow.
1.
Learn multiple languages
Royal children are required to learn multiple languages, and Prince George and Princess Charlotte have already started learning Spanish.
It is essential for a tiny royal to be bilingual or even trilingual, and rumor has it that George already knows his numbers.

2.
Sit at the kids' table
Princess Charlotte cannot sit with the adults at royal dinners.
Royal children are reportedly not allowed to sit with the adults until they have learned the art of polite conversation.
3.
Wear smock dresses with Peter Pan collars
Every time Charlotte has greeted the public, she has worn the same outfit formula – a colorful smock dress with a Peter Pan collar.
Similarly, Brother George is almost always seen in shorts and a shirt.
4.
Never be fully dressed without a bow in her hair
Princess Charlotte is never seen without a bow in her hair, which almost always matches the color of her dress.
This is different from the rule taught by Annie, who said you're never fully dressed without a smile.
5.
Wear merry jeans as preferred footwear
Princess Charlotte has always been seen in merry jeans, even wearing a white pair at the royal wedding.
It is comfort, perhaps, or consistency, almost certainly.
6.
Dress in coordinated colors
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge often dress their family in coordinated colors for formal outings.
While it is not clear if this is an official rule, it happens so often that it cannot be a coincidence.
7.
No tiaras until married
Within the royal family, tiaras are only worn by married women.
This is because tiaras are a sign of status and would show that you were taken and not looking for a husband.
Sorry, Charlotte, no tiaras until you're married.
8.
No social media
Even when Prince George and Princess Charlotte reach the appropriate age, it is likely that they will not be allowed to have social media accounts on their own.
As of right now, the Kensington Royal Twitter and Instagram accounts keep us up to date on all things Charlotte and George.
9.
Proper posture is essential
Royal women are expected to sit in a certain way, with legs, knees, and ankles kept together.
Kate Middleton has perfected the Duchess slant, a technique she'll likely pass on to her daughter.
10.
Master the art of the curtsy
Protocol often calls for royal women to curtsy to the Queen.
We are sure that young Charlotte is already taking lessons on this one.
In conclusion, being a princess is not just about wearing pretty dresses and living in a castle.
Princess Charlotte must follow specific rules, including learning multiple languages, sitting at the kids' table, wearing smock dresses with Peter Pan collars, never being fully dressed without a bow in her hair, wearing merry jeans as preferred footwear, dressing in coordinated colors, waiting until marriage to wear a tiara, avoiding social media, maintaining proper posture, and mastering the art of the curtsy.
These rules may seem strange to some, but they are essential for a tiny royal who will one day become a queen.
