Rules Duchess Kate Middleton Has to Follow

All Royal Children Must Take Etiquette Classes

It probably isn't a surprise that members of the Royal family had to take a lot of classes on etiquette from a young age, given how many rules they have to follow. Everyone, kids and adults, needs to know how to act in every situation. What better way to learn all the rules than to take classes from a professional who knows them all by heart?

Kate Middleton's kids would all have to follow the rules and take etiquette classes so they know how to act in all situations.

Military Uniforms Must Be Worn on Many Occasions

It might seem silly that an adult would have to wear their uniform in certain situations, but this is very common in the Royal family. Since most of the men in the Royal family served in the military, they are expected to wear their military uniforms to many public events. The women in the Royal family don't usually have to wear that uniform because they don't usually serve in the military.

Princess Anne is an honorary admiral, so there are times when she has to wear a military uniform.

You Cannot Reveal the Baby's Gender Until After Birth

Gender reveal parties have become very popular in the last few years, but it looks like the Royal family will never be able to join in, unless they want to have the party after the baby is born. Before a royal baby is born, it is against the rules to say what gender it is. Because of this, a lot of people in the Royal family decide not to find out until after the baby is born. That way, everyone is surprised!

There is also a tradition about the blanket that the baby is wrapped in after they are born. This is a hand-knitted shawl that is a tradition for babies.

Kate Had to Give Her Babies Multiple Names

Did you know that babies born into the Royal family usually have more than just a first and last name? They not only have a middle name, but they usually have more than one. Prince William's full name, for instance, is Prince William Arthur Philip Louis. That's a lot to say and a lot to write on forms or with a signature.

That's something to think about when Kate has kids. You have to come up with a lot of names for each child. At least if you can't choose, you can use more than one.

Kate and Her Children Always Have a Bodyguard

It's sad to think that every member of the Royal family needs a bodyguard with them all the time, but that's just how it is. Don't think for a second that this doesn't apply to the kids too. The kids sometimes have more than one bodyguard to keep them safe. It may seem like a sad way for a child to grow up, but it's better than taking the chance.

Some members of the Royal family have more than one or two bodyguards. At any given time, they can have up to five people following them around.

Only the Married Royals Get to Wear a Tiara

You probably never thought about who in the Royal family wears a tiara. Of course, only women wear them, but did you know that only women are married? Tiaras are a sign of marriage, so unmarried women and princesses can't wear them. A lot of the time, royals wear one on their wedding day.

It's not common for a royal to wear a tiara after the wedding day. Kate Middleton wore one for the first time at her wedding, and she has only worn one a few times since.
