10+ Things Meghan Markle Can No Longer Do Now That She’s A Royal

5. She cannot wear colored nail polish.

The Royal Family prohibits any woman from wearing bright colors out to Royal events and anywhere else they can be seen in public. However, nude and light pink shades (like Essie’s Ballet Slippers) is okay and allowed.

4. If she has a son, she cannot put him in pants as a child.

Much like Prince George, young members of the Royal Family have to be dressed in shorts. According to reports, it’s “too suburban,” for young children to wear pants out in public.

3. She can no longer grab a cup of coffee/tea on the go.

As the stereotype goes, the Royal Family is very specific about their tea. Markle must learn the proper way to drink tea–pinching the top of the handle with your thumb and forefinger, and resting the bottom of the handle on your middle finger. She also has to drink from the same spot every time if she is wearing lipstick.

2. She cannot travel or go out alone.

Being in the Royal Family is like being the President’s daughter–you cannot leave or travel, go anywhere, without security service alongside you. Apparently, Markle’s mother also has her own security detail–just in case.

1. She can no longer blog.

Markle created her own blog–The Tig–that was a place for women who loved travel, food, fashion, and lifestyle. Markle updated the blog herself with photos, reviews, and other posts. But, she had to shut down her blog in 2018–much like her other social media accounts–under the Royal protocol.
