One surprising royal rule dictates the family’s bedtime. When Meghan Markle became the Duchess of Sussex, she discovered that nobody could go to bed before the Queen. And Queen Elizabeth II is a night owl; she often stays up until midnight!
Reportedly, even Princess Diana struggled to stay awake as late as the Queen. Not even Prince Philip could rest early. As you can probably imagine, many Royals are not a fan of this rule.
Heirs Cannot Fly Together
When Royal families travel, heirs are not allowed to fly together. For instance, Prince Charles, Prince William, and their kids have to take separate planes. This rule guarantees that, if one plane crashes, the Crown will not be out of heirs.
In recent years, the Queen has relaxed this rule because air travel is becoming safer. In 2014, Kate Middleton flew with nine-month-old Prince George for the first time. That said, Prince George took his own plane when he became older.

When The Queen Stops Eating, Everyone Else Does Too
If you are lucky enough to have dinner with the Queen, then you must follow a strange etiquette rule. When the Queen starts eating, everyone else begins. And when the Queen finished, everyone else is finished too!
Darren McGrady, who was a royal chef for 11 years, says that the Queen was “not a foodie.” She often eats the same dinners, and she won’t eat a lot. So guests might have to get more food afterward.
