Now That Prince Harry Is No Longer A Royal, Here’s All The Things He Is Forbidden From Participating In

Published on 03/26/2020

As soon as Prince Harry announced his plans to step down as senior royals alongside his wife Meghan Markle, this became the most talked about event in the royal family. The two admitted that they preferred to have a more low-key life with their newborn Archie and that they would commute between the UK and Canada. Although they had no interest in being in the limelight as royals, Harry tried his best to make the new situation work. Unfortunately, he lost way more than he had expected.

Their Exit

Although the royal family wasn’t happy with their decision to leave, they were not entirely shocked either. Harry and Meghan had already made it clear that they were unhappy with the way the British press was treating them, even 18 months before their announcement. In a widely viewed interview with journalist Tom Bradby in October 2019, Meghan admitted that her British friends warned her to be careful marrying Harry, as the British Tabloids could ultimately ruin her life.

Trying Her Best

Meghan continued in the interview to say that she did everything she could to adopt the British mentality of having a “stiff upper lip.” Unfortunately, it just wasn’t sure, she even felt like that kind of reaction was internally damaging. For her, it was not enough to “survive” the tabloids, she felt that the key to life is to be able to thrive and feel happy.

Harry was extremely vocal about his and Meghan’s circumstances. He said in an interview with Bradby that while half o their job is to put on a brave face and ignore the negative commentary that is said, at the same time it can be hard to ignore everything, even more so when its false information.

Too Much Pressure

The media was putting overwhelming pressure on the couple and eventually they could not bear it any longer. The couple announced on January 8, 2020, that they would be stepping out of the royal family. This statement posted via Instagram led to many shocked faces around the world. However, the couple mentioned that this decision was not made easily, and came about after months of reflection and discussions.

Not Saying Goodbye

Although they planned to abandon their roles as “senior” members of the royal family and became financially capable on their own, they planned to still support the Queen 100%. They said in their statement that they feel prepared for this new transition and intend to balance their time between both the UK and North America because they are not abandoning the Queen, the commonwealth or their patronages.

Royal Responses

The rest of the family was not particularly thrilled with the news. The family or Buckingham Palance did not even receive a heads up before the post. The Palace’s issued response was very short, “Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand the desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through.”

Not Just The Family Felt Bitter

The British tabloid the Daily Mail interviewed a few members of the royal staff after the big announcement. One of them allegedly said, “People had bent over backward for them. They were given the wedding they wanted, the house they wanted, the office they wanted, the money they wanted, the staff they wanted, the tours they wanted and had the backing of their family. What more did they want?”

Not All Fun And Games

While Meghan and Harry surely benefited from several privileges being members of the royal family, that did not mean that everything came so easy for them. Aside from being bombarded by media, there were also many things that they were forbidden from doing or forced to do.

Not All Fun And Games

Following Orders

This one may not seem so bad, but it is just the first on our list. Everyone in the royal family is expected to follow the royal protocol in the presence of the queen. For example, men nod their heads as she arrives and women curtsy. When the monarch enters or exits a room, then the people in the room must stand. Wait till you see all the things that require her approval.

Following Orders

Marriage Approval

Going back to the Royal Marriages Act of 1772, the royal family has followed by this ancient tradition that they must receive permission from the Queen before getting married. This law was created when King George II had a problem with his brother’s decision to wed a commoner. Thankfully, the Queen approved Harry’s request to propose to Meghan, but we don’t want to know what would have happened if she hadn’t.

That’s not that only part of the wedding that needs to be approved, but also the Queen gets the final say on the wedding dress. When Kate Middleton was engaged to Prince William, she was sure to update the Queen on all designs and Meghan did the same.

Modesty Is The Best Policy

Not only are there rules about wedding dresses, but in general women in the royal family have a strict dress code. Ladies must wear modest clothing, and bare legs are a no-no, so instead they were tights. Also, you will rarely see a royal with color nails, only neutral tones.

Stay Quiet

For centuries long the Royal family has been seen as figureheads of the country and not political decision-makers. Thus, the members of the royal family never express their political opinions or get involved in state affairs.

All About The Queen

The main idea in the royal family is protecting the image of the queen. All family members need to be careful about what they do and how they impact or reflect on the queen. Given that she has politically neutral, the rest of the family must follow this, and be careful about where they go.

Royal Expectations

Aside from following the Queen’s orders, many other obligations come along with being a Royal. For example, men must serve in the military, and Harry fought in Afghanistan as a pilot and then went on to be Apache aircraft commander. After serving in the armed forces he was motivated to create the Invictus Games, which is a sporting event for disabled servicemen and women.

Changing His Priorities

However, since Harry announced his exit from his royal duties, these days are long behind him. One of his friends from the army, JJ Chalmers spoke a few days following Harry’s big news. He admitted that Harry is now a father rather than the captain from the army that he once knew.

That will never change.”

How Will They Make It?

The British press were concerned to know how Meghan and Harry would get by without the money from the royal family. While other “non-working” members of the family have regular careers like Princess Beatrice who has jobs in consulting and finance, but she was never a working royal, to begin with.

Watch Out For Enemies

Meghan and Harry would surely never be bankrupt, but it was still unclear regarding the cost of their security. While they planned to spend most of their time in Canada, being members of the royal family meant that they would not protection from potential threats, which is quite pricey.

Harry’s friend Chalmers put partial blame on the media for running Harry and Meghan out of the country. He said, “When [Harry] looks at how the media, for example, reacts and how social media talks about someone, he has to answer to his son one day when he begins to understand this and be able to look him in the face and say, ‘I made the right decision, and I did right by you.’ And ultimately, he grew up in the limelight, and he knows how this can end if it’s not handled correctly.”

As agreed in this new arrangement, they understand that they are required to step back from royal duties, including official military appointments. They will no longer receive public funds for royal duties.”

Now that Harry and Meghan have given up the title of being a royal, what do they get from doing so? Quite a lot actually! In case you didn’t know, the royal family has a lot of odd rules that all of them have to follow, and because they have given up their royal status, they can finally do all these things again!

She Can Finally Play Monopoly Again

Prince Andrew once said, “We’re not allowed to play Monopoly at home.” He continued, “It gets too vicious.” None of the royal family members can play the money game at home because the Queen forbids it. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry can now buy as many properties as they want by rolling as many dice. Although this is probably the last thing on anyone’s mind, it is true. It’s also unlikely to be a major concern for Markle, but we included it because of its rarity.

PDA Is No Longer A Problem

The royals have strict rules when it comes to public displays of affection. Markle would, for example, rub Harry on the back instead of kissing him on the cheek during certain outings. In some situations, PDA is acceptable, but in more serious situations, even body language should be scrutinized. Markle doesn’t have to think about her location or what she’s doing when she wants to kiss her husband.

Crossing Legs Is Acceptable Again

After marrying into the family, Markle was no longer able to cross her legs. She had to adhere to a different set of regulations. She could only cross her ankles and had to keep her legs and knees together, according to the protocol. It was probably aggravating for her not to be able to do something that had almost become second nature to her at this point. Being able to cross her lower extremities in public again could be a huge relief for her.

She Has Custody Over Her Kid

Consider having a newborn that you want to care for but doesn’t belong to you. This was the case for Archie after his birth, thanks to King George. In the 1700s, King George declared, “The sovereign has legal custody of the minor grandchildren.” That seems like a rule that should be repealed now that we are no longer in those times, but Markle is unaffected. Archie is hers entirely!

She Can Use Social Media Again

All of the family members are closely monitored by the palace. They’re not allowed to have social media accounts, which forced Markle to delete hers voluntarily. Now that she and Harry are their own people again, we’re sure a joint account or an individual page for Markle will emerge. Although the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Instagram page isn’t as personal as a personal account, we appreciate that they keep it updated.

When Suits was renewed for a ninth season, Markle announced she would not be returning.

Yes, Markle has been a celebrity for a long time and is accustomed to being followed by cameras and security. After the couple tied the knot, the paparazzi and security stepped up to a new level! She couldn’t leave the house unless someone was watching her. Because of Megxit, Markle will not be escorted by bodyguards wherever she goes. Although there will be cameras present, Markle is astute. She knows when to tread lightly, and she doesn’t want Archie to get tangled up in the chaos.

“Crown doesn’t let me.” That’s what Meghan Markle told fans when they asked her to pose for a photo. Before becoming a royal, Markle was used to taking selfies with other people as a Hollywood star. Anyone who gets the chance to photograph Markle now that she isn’t bound by the “Crown’s” ruling is free to do so. We’re not sure if that’s something to be excited about or something that will make us want to stay inside even longer!

She Can Walk Side By Side With Harry Now

According to a “Royal Boot Camp” rule, Markle must always walk behind Harry. We’re happy for Markle that she’s no longer bound by that rule, which most likely dates back to a time when women had few if any, rights. According to one explanation, “In tradition, a gentleman tends to walk a few steps in front to protect the lady.” Now they have one less thing to worry about!

Markle is fearless when it comes to expressing her opinions. Even as a child, she made proud feminist remarks on camera, something that not every 11-year-old would do. After she got married, she had to keep her mouth shut about topics like that and other political matters. That doesn’t sound like a lot of fun. Those days are long gone, and we could hear Markle’s thoughts on any subject at any time.

Garlic Is Back On The Table

We’re fairly certain the Queen isn’t a vampire, but we can’t be certain. She also has a strange rule about bad breath, which is similar to the Monopoly rule. Queen Elizabeth forbids the consumption of onions and garlic even when you are not at home. We can’t imagine how difficult that was for Markle, as those ingredients are essential in many dishes. One of her favorite dishes is garlic-filled Filipino chicken adobo with brown rice and salad, so it’s back on the menu.

A Rule About Wearing Tiaras

We don’t make the rules; we just report on them. According to a rule, tiaras are only allowed to be worn after 6:00 p.m. Why is the passage of time so random? That’s something we don’t know about, and we’re pretty sure Markle didn’t like it. With a tiara on her head, she couldn’t use hairspray because it would damage the priceless diamonds. In the first place, we don’t think Markle is the type to wear a tiara.

She Can Go To Bed Anytime Now

Why hadn’t she been able to sleep whenever she wanted before? It turns out that the Queen determines when it is safe for everyone to sleep, and it isn’t as early as you might think. Queen Elizabeth prefers to stay up until at least ten o’clock in the evening, but no later than midnight. This rule stems from the fact that she needs to be able to talk to someone at all times. Diana would deviate from tradition on occasion in order to rest.
