Unfortunately for the much-loved monarch, not all the royals take tradition to heart.
Namely, she expressed her displeasure at Catherine supposedly exhibiting a tad too much flesh, albeit unwittingly.
But there are some Windsors who are simply too rebellious to stick to the rules.
The princess may have broken royal protocol, but she made her former teacher’s day.
And judging by her enthusiasm, he likely made her day, too.
As for Catherine’s declaration that she uses the knowledge she gleaned from Embury to teach her own kids?
“I hate to think what those children are learning!”
However, King Charles III chose to break royal protocol for his coronation in May 2023.
The king opted to make his eldest grandson, Prince George, a page despite it being against tradition.
Speaking toPeople, a royal spokesperson revealed that Princess Catherine and Prince William did not take the decision lightly.
“His parents are very excited and delighted that he is a page,” they said.
Typically, the pages wear tights, but George balked at the idea.
Subsequently, instead of donning tights, Charles allowed his grandson to wear black pants.
Subsequently, her actions reportedly left some guests feeling rather perturbed.

“I didn’t go for that, so I just annoyed the men at the other end.”
But in addition to modifying their conduct, this protocol extends to royals' outward appearance.
Apparently, Queen Elizabeth II strongly disapproved of colorful nail polish, which she deemed “vulgar.”
This is allegedly why Princess Catherine never exhibited painted nails while the queen was alive.
But after the monarch’s death, Catherine started to bend the rules.
Accordingly, fans were quick to call her out for supposedly being disrespectful.
“It’s not protocol and Kate Middleton has shamed the entire family.
However, rules relating to manicures are, after all, unofficial protocols.
“If you grant one, then it quickly becomes overwhelming.”
It’s a simple directive and one that most royals should be able to easily abide by.
Notably,Prince Williamhas posed for selfies on multiple occasions since his grandmother’s death.
And it doesn’t appear as though William and Catherine will be halting their selfie-snapping sprees any time soon.
Subsequently, spending the summer months at the castle was indeed an incredibly poignant prospect for the king.
“It’s where she died, and spent her last memories.”
