The Rules of the Royals

As most of us know, there are Royal traditions and rules that must be followed. Most recently, the point of interest is what the princess to be, Miss Kate Middleton will have to give up.

What Kate (Catherine) Must Give Up

In the grand scheme of things, it's not so bad. Let's go through these one by one:

1. Be referred to as 'Kate'
I do like Kate more than Catherine (C instead of a K... Curious)

2. Vote
Eh. Not that big of a deal.


3. Run for political office
Um. Really. She's already going to be a princess... Does she really need more power?


4. Escape the scrutiny
Yeeaaaah... As a public figure, there will always be some numb nut out there who will have something mean or negative to say. And props to Will for trying to shield her from that, but there's always those rat bastards who will look for any opportunity to make a celeb look bad.


5. Play Monopoly
Say whaaaaat?! Simplest game ever, but I guess any kind of cheating can cause or start a fight. So does this mean that they can't play chess or checkers either?


6. Say or do anything controversial
Okay. Again. Not so hard. She appears to be a smart lass.


7. Eat shellfish
Really? WTF? It would greatly upset me if I had to give up shellfish!


8. Work
Hmmmm. Yeah, that's a thinker. Princess and work should not appear in the same sentence. But at the same time, she will have to make public appearances, which in their vocabulary, is considered to be work.


9. Sign anything unofficial
Again. Not that hard. Just don't sign anything. Simple, right?


10 Finish her dinner
Wow. So Kate is already super thin. Does she need to be any thinner? Then again... the Queen mother is older now, so it might be of benefit to her if she actually eats slowly. Just don't upset her or make her lose her appetite, because then EVERYONE loses!
