It's not only normal folk like us who bend the rules, it seems the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge and the likes of Prince Charles, Prince Harry and Meghan are also partial to not following protocol. Here at HELLO!, we take a look back at some of the times the British royals have broken a rule or two - including the Queen herself!
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Earl and Countess of Wessex
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were accused of breaking the Government's 'Rule of Six' after being enjoying an evening out with Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex's family in December 2020.
In pictures obtained by the Daily Mail, the group of nine were visiting the Christmas-themed Luminate woodland walk on the Queen's Sandringham estate.
However, both groups arrived separately and royal sources stressed that there was no intention of meeting up as a party of nine.
"The two families were given separate consecutive slots to visit the trail just before it opened to the general public. They arrived and departed in their own family groups," said a royal source, adding: "As anyone with young children will know, there were moments on the 90-minute walk where it was difficult to keep the two family groups apart, particularly at bottlenecks on the trail."
