Hello!
Welcome back to the Most Amazing channel on the internet.
I am your Most Amazing host, Rebecca Felgate and you guys seem to love Queen Elizabeth
and you know what…
I can’t say I blame you.
Last year, our Queen Elizabeth videos were among the best performing on the channel.
You loved our Top 10 Rules Queen Elizabeth doesn’t have to follow… but like, surely
she is the queen so she can do what she wants…woah there, no!
Today we are talking the Top 10 rules she DOES have to follow.
Watch out Queeny!
Before we launch into the video, I just want to remind you guys that we have Merch galore
at Most Amazing shop.com…
there is a link to that in the description box below.
The queen would totally wear one of our shirts, she just isn’t allowed to.
FACT.
In fact that is coming in at number 10.
The Queen can’t wear t shirts…..
Or jeans, or trainers and sneakers, or jeggings….
Why?
Well the Queen actually cannot be seen in any casual attire.
Being a member of the Royal Family comes with a strict dress code… she must always look
presentable.
Usually these days she is seen in bright colours so she is easily visible.
So, no sweatpants or jogging bottoms for Queeny baby!
9 - She Must Always Travel with a Black Outfit The Queen must always have a black outfit
to hand and would not travel without one.
This is in case she needs to attend a funeral without notice, if somebody in the royal family
dies or if there is a national tragedy with she is away.
Speaking of travel, She can’t fly on a plane with her family at number 8
While she can fly with her husband, the Queen cannot fly with Prince Charles, Prince William
or Prince George, the three next heirs to the throne in the line of succession.
This actually extends beyond air travel…she is discouraged from being in the same car,
boarding the same train etc from her son, and grandson.
This is in case anything should happen to them, meaning the line of succession is in
danger.
7 - She can’t vote Although it is not prohibited by law, it is
unconstitutional for the Queen to vote.
The Queen is supposed to have an unbiased role in Parliament…as a result of that,
she cannot run for office, either.
Not only is she unable to vote, the actuality is much stricter at number 6…
She cannot have political views.
The Queen must not express political leanings in public ever, nor must any other member
of the royal family.
On a few occasions, she has dropped the veil of neutrality.
She was reportedly very relieved Scotland stayed in the United Kingdom.
Many suspected the queen was sending secret messages via her outfits declaring her support
for the European Union, but I think that is a bit of a stretch.
5 - She is not allowed to sign autographs Want an autograph of the queen?
Sorry, she isn’t allowed to give you one.
Nor is she allowed to take a selfie with you.
The reason for the Autograph is in case the royal signatures are forged.
The selfie thing is for security.
So we heard earlier that the Queen can’t be political, however, she has to be religious…and
more importantly at number 4 - She has to be Christian
The Queen is the head of the Church of England.
She represents the church and upholds its values.
Up until 2011, a law forbade any royal family member marrying a catholic… it had to be
strictly protestant only.
If the future monarch of England wanted to have a different faith, it would be against
the current rules.
3 - She cannot get divorced As a result of her position of head of the
church, she and Prince Phillip cannot get divorced.
This is something that Is discussed in the awesome TV show, the Crown.
While her son, the possible future king of England is divorced, he did not re-marry until
his first wife had died, which somehow makes it okay in the eyes of the Church of England,
although many are not too happy about it.
2 - Husband must walk behind her This is reportedly something Prince Phillip
initially struggled with.
The Queen goes first, always, and her husband must follow.
On any official trip, the queen walks in front of Prince Phillip.
Only when they’re in private may she walk besides him.
Finally, coming in to number 1 of the top 10 rules Queen Elizabeth has to follow….
She is not allowed to play monopoly?!
This is kind of a silly thing and a non rule, but I thought it would be a fun way to end
this list.
Apparently the queen is not allowed to play monopoly as it is banned in the palace.
Her son, Prince Andrew revealed this in 2008 during a visit to the Leeds building society
in the UK.
I love the thought of the queen getting triggered over someone landing on the dark blues and
throwing a full strop.
Flip the board honey!
So that was the top 10 rules the queen has to follow…can you think of any more?
Let me know in the comments section below.
For now, shout out to Queeny baby, who I know is a huge fan of top ten.
