Really Weird Rules The Royals Have About Food

The life of a British royal may seem frivolous as their former power has given way to duties more figurehead than “off with her head."

However, even something as seemingly innocuous as a state dinner can be the cause of stress and worry. The royals have a litany of weird rules that could quickly turn a simple fork choice into a massive faux pas. From mealtime conversation flow to how a single purse could end a meal, here’s everything you need to know about dining with the Queen.

What other cultures have weird food rules?

[finlandguy]

luckily i'm a peasant so i can eat with my hands.

[Choccocardboard]

I love how they’re explaining it to us like we’re actually gonna meet the queen😂

[huangJJ]

Everybody gangsta until the Queen placed her purse on the table

[deedeeable]

No garlic or onion's? I'd graciously decline my invite after that....smh.

Nothing beats building a nice campfire and cooking a hot dog over the coals. We commoners do great things like this.

"Better put that purse down miss, I still haven't finish my soup"

[BlankName]

You walk into my kitchen and expect me to stop cooking just to talk to you, you get to finish the cooking.

[mandiprimeaux]

I guarantee you we are going to have problems if the staff starts clearing my food off the table before im finished eating. 😂

[cheetang]

Queen: please join me for dinner tonight

Me: no thank you, I'm busy tonight.

[PInkW]

Just think, Prince Charles has been waiting his whole life to get his first job

At the end of the day we all go to the toilet

Vampires hate garlic. Witches too. No surprise there. Eat more garlic. Keeps those creeps away.

Queen Elisabeth is just that, a Queen. I can’t think of anyone that’s been so disciplined by walking the talk, being courageous in a world war, carries the heavy weight of tradition so lightly. And our Lord has blessed her with many years., may he bless even more for the years left & history you have accumulated.

only an American video editor would think that Yorkshire Pudding (a main course accompaniment) should appear alongside a reference to Christmas Pudding (a dessert).

[poojak]

These are good rules for a decent living and showing respect to elders and good behavior at home. Instead of calling them weird, others must learn from them.

[sarahplainandtall]

Let's consider ourselves "LUCKY", we're not royals. That's bunch BS

[fartamplifer]

I didn't realize normal dinner etiquette was considered "weird".

[fabianmcintyre]

When it comes to visitors or guest, it is always best to respect the rules of the house. 😊

I Couldn’t live without garlic absolutely love the stuff
