Shocking Royal Rules and Regulations While On The Road

In royal households, there are countless rules and regulations that royals must abide by, particularly in the British royal family, where their lives are strictly and precisely bound by royal protocol. However, there are also special regulations for their numerous trips, and in this context, we reveal particularly crazy facts about traveling with the British royals.

Impeccable appearance plays an important role when the British royal family travels and meets high-ranking officials. They may have up to 30 outfits with them, including brightly colored jackets, skirts, and hats, as well as a black outfit in case of an unexpected family member's death. This rule is certainly one of the strangest regulations. The next rule is also quite whimsical (as shown in the next picture).

One of the most unusual items in the Royals' luggage is arguably their own blood. According to reports, King Charles is said to always carry a certain amount of his own blood with him when he travels. A doctor must always be present to ensure an adequate blood supply in case of an emergency.

There are also precise rules for foreign cooks when it comes to catering for the royals. The dishes for the royals are ordered in advance by palace staff, as reported by the Telegraph. It is forbidden to add garlic or too many spices to the food, as this could cause bad breath - which is considered a major faux pas for royals during a state visit.

When the royals travel, they have to have a lot of servants with them: After all, the royal family needs bodyguards, press officers, a private secretary, and probably a lot more.

According to royal protocol, two heirs to the throne are not allowed to travel on the same plane together. This is to ensure that the succession is secure in case of an accident. However, some of the younger parents among the Windsors have not always followed this rule.

Even royalty needs a passport, with the exception of the reigning monarch. Nonetheless, the royal family must also adhere to the relevant local customs and immigration regulations.

During trips, the royals bring a lot of suitcases with them. In order to avoid confusion and possible chaos, palace employees label each individual piece with colored tags. Each member of the family is then assigned a specific color. This is a pretty clever system
