Whilst many of us have dreamed about being a King or Queen and being able to truly do as we please, the reality of being a member of the royal family can be very challenging, with strict rules around governing their everyday lives.
Everything the royal family does comes under heavy scrutiny from people across the UK, the Commonwealth and around the world and there are strict traditions and expectations that must be followed.
Not only must they dress and act a certain way, but there are also rules and expectations around topics they can talk about in conversation - and even what they're allowed to eat.

At Buckingham Palace, the royal family and guests are regularly treated to top-notch grub - but there are some foods you'll never see on the menu.
The Queen is known to avoid garlic, due to her regularly meeting people at events and engagements and not wanting to appear unfresh, and also avoids shellfish as it could potentially lead to food poisoning, reports MyLondon.
And there's a posh food that the Prince of Wales won't allow anywhere near his plate either: foie gras.
The animal product comes from duck or goose, but can only be produced after the animal is force-fed to enlarge their liver.
In recent years, the force-feeding has caused animal welfare charities to campaign against the making and selling of the product - and according to PETA, Prince Charles "has a policy that his chefs should not buy foie gras".
The strict rules Prince Charles follows and upholds
While there is no formal constitutional role for the Heir to the Throne, explains the official website for the royal family Royal.UK, The Prince of Wales and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, seeks to do "all he can to make a difference for the better in the UK and internationally."
With this in mind, Prince Charles follows a laundry list of rules and expectations - and holds his staff to a very high standard..
Food and drink should be prepared a certain way
Not only has Prince Charles banned foie gras from dishes served to him and his guests, he also has high expectations for how his cuppa should be served.
Evan Samson, hospitality manager of Dumfries House, told British Heritage Travel magazine: "The key is to use loose tea and a teapot - one teaspoon of tea leaves per teacup plus an extra one for the pot.
"The water must be heated to 70C for green tea and 100C for Earl Grey or English breakfast tea. The temperature of the water must be measured with a thermometer."
"There are different rules for making green and black tea - while green tea should be brewed for three minutes, black tea must be left for five," he added.
"A perfect royal brew should use organic honey instead of sugar which is added to the teacup before the tea is poured in. There are specific details about how the teacup should be positioned – the handle of the teacup must be placed to the right, with the teaspoon under the handle."
No smoking
The Queen's cousin Princess Olga recalled first meeting Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall many years ago.
She told The Telegraph : "[Camilla] was pretty, funny, tanned, swore like a trooper then, like me, and we both smoked.”
The Duchess of Cornwall was reportedly a smoke for 30 years but gave it up because Prince Charles hated the habit.
'No coddling children'
When Prince Charles was growing up, he was only allowed to see his parents, the Queen and Prince Philip, at set times in the day - and would often go months on end without seeing them, when they'd travel to other Commonwealth nations.
Prince Charles limited the physical affection he showed his children, Prince William and Prince Harry, when they were growing up.
No autographs
Royals aren't allowed to sign autographs, even for those invited to special events at Buckingham Palace. This is to prevent people being able to forge their signatures.
If asked for an autograph by a member of the public, Prince Charles typically replies: "I'm sorry, they don't allow me to do that."
Monopoly is banned
Yes, really. The Queen doesn't allow her family to play Monopoly as it gets too vicious.
The Express previously reported that Prince Andrew said: "We are not allowed to play Monopoly at home," when attending an event in Leeds in 2008.
Wearing fur is not allowed
As MyLondon reports, Edward III, King of England and Lord of Ireland from 1327 to 1377, banned anyone from wearing fur in the Fur Act of 1337, including royals.
Prince Charles, and other senior members of the royal family, do not wear real fur - though on occasion, they will wear faux fur.
