Imitation of the second measurement scale. Great-grandfather of Queen Elizabeth VII. It was introduced during the reign of Edward. The purpose of this custom was for the king to make sure that his guests had a good time during the Christmas celebrations. The expected weight gain was about one and a half kilograms, and compliance with the rule was checked by weighing the guests before departure.
However, the past tense may be justified: in recent decades, not much information about this tradition has leaked from the walls of Sandringham House, where the royal family spends Christmas every year. It is also questionable whether shellfish and crustaceans will also be excluded from the menu this year, as that is required under II. During Elizabeth's time, it was forbidden for members of the royal family to consume it.
In the case of this type of food, the chance of getting food poisoning is greatest, but it is said that it was King Karolyi who smuggled such delicacies into his diet from time to time in recent decades. Of course, seafood is not one of the classic Christmas dishes, so it is possible that this problem will not arise until now.
Prince William has reportedly had a mistress for years – but who is she and when did the rumors start?
On the other hand, the cook must be careful this year as well, not to put on the table anything that is undercooked, too spicy or with garlic. The royal family stays away from the former to avoid the possibility of indigestion and the latter to avoid bad breath. (By the way, one of King Charles's nieces, Princess Eugenia, recently mentioned abstaining from eating garlic on a podcast.)
Naturally, we can't know for sure whether members of the ruling house follow these rules during the holiday season, when no one has much official work to do. But even if they cheat when it comes to food, many other small customs can still organize the daily life of the British royal family in a specific way.
The royal family can only sleep with Karolyi's permission
The special status of the British monarch, for example, manifests itself in many different ways in family relationships. Traditionally, at each meeting, the king or queen receives a kiss on the cheek followed by a bow or pokedlee. secondly. Queen Elizabeth also requested this element of protocol during her private communications. Although unlike his sons King Charles Already in his princely days he was famous for expecting formal greetings from his friends, and it is not entirely certain that he also retained this custom in the family circle.
This does not necessarily apply to other family members, but Prince Vilmos, for example, does not bow his head to his father as spectacularly as we saw in Karolyi and Erzcebet's relationship. However, it's a fact that we don't see the King and the heir to the throne together very often, and it's very difficult to determine what's going on when the cameras aren't watching them.
If Karolyi decides to maintain formality, in addition to a respectful greeting, his closest family members should also stand up as soon as he enters the room, and should not turn their backs on him when they leave. What's more: they can also only sleep when the king is already asleep, and must stop eating when Karolyi does so during meals together.
As for the latter situation, the matter is not limited to correct behaviors targeting the ruler. Among other things, it is also a general rule that during lunches and dinners, members of the royal family can only talk to the person sitting next to them. It is also important that women always drink from the same part of the cup, this way they only smear a small area with lipstick.
This is evidence that the royal family is sophisticated and cunning
Prince Lagos will not be able to wear long pants for years to come
In terms of appearance, in addition to the above, the ruling family must also follow a fair number of rules regarding dress. The general expectation, for example, is restraint, which applies even to the color of nail polish. But the question is how far and quickly these regulatory rules will change under King Károlyi – especially when Vilmos becomes king.
From this point of view, it was a wonderful detail when, at Easter this year, Princess Katalin not only wore a brightly colored dress, but also had red nails. This seemingly insignificant, but amazing in all respects, innovation has not become regular in recent months, but still It is possible to see in it a sign of the gradual shift of the protocol. That is why it will be interesting to see whether we find anything unusual in the Duchess's clothes when she rushes, according to tradition, to the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Sandringham on December 25. One thing is certain: her dress cannot be black, because this color is only worn by the royal family during mourning occasions.
Princess Catalin, who came from the working class, received such a disgusting nickname at university
In addition, it is also likely that she will be wearing a hat, and if she is not wearing trousers, she will be wearing obligatory body-colored tights, something for which Meghan Markle was strongly rebuked by the British press a few years ago. Of course, wearing socks is now also justified by the season, which is why the little prince of Lagos always wonders why he wears shorts even in winter. The answer is simple: boys from the royal family (and traditionally the aristocracy) don't get long trousers until they are eight years old. This event originally served as an important initiation ceremony for boys for centuries.
Prince William and Princess Catherine promote themselves with selfies
The walk through Sandringham will also be interesting in terms of how the current middle generation behaves with the people waiting for them on both sides of the road. For a long time, the British royal family was not accustomed to touching the middle members except for a handshake. Additionally, this type of greeting was only possible if someone on the ruler's side extended his hand.
Royal children were beaten by abusive nannies and oppressed by tyrannical parents
However, this rule changed with the arrival of Princess Diana, and Prince William – and of course his younger brother Harry – has strongly identified with the new tradition in the past ten to fifteen years. In recent weeks you can see a lot of photos of Vilmos hugging someone, in fact: he and Katalin take selfies more and more. Previously, this type of difficult-to-control – and often inappropriate – photo shoot was off-limits to the royal family.
This restriction is not surprising, given that members of the Windsor family (among whom are mostly women) learned to always keep their chins parallel to the floor in the crosshairs of the cameras.
However, lower case doesn't matter when it comes to satisfaction. Of course, in this case, the question is not how the royal couple feels, but the emotional “satisfaction” of selfie lovers. This is undoubtedly important in terms of the performance of the monarchy. After all, it's their subjects who actually weigh in on the British royals not just on holidays, but every day of the year.
