Queen Elizabeth is banned from particular action when travelling abroad


Queen Elizabeth II is a jet setter. Over her 68 years as monarch, she has travelled all around the world both on official duty and on holidays.

However, regardless of her reason for travel, there is one major protocol she must follow.

Though it is a long-running rule, the public wasn’t made aware of it until 2014.

Though the Queen has passed over her international work to the younger members of the family, including Prince William and his wife Kate, she does still journey around the UK.

She made a journey to Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, to see the set of hit television drama Game of Thrones.

“This is an esoteric rule we didn’t know about until that moment.”

However, this is likely a very ancient rule dating back years and it is likely she would not be reprimanded for doing so.

Her avoidance is mostly in a bid to avoid insulting other foreign monarchs.

This is, of course, not the only royal rule Queen Elizabeth must follow when on her travels.

“When your chin points down or up it gives the impression that you’re not paying attention or not interested in what’s happening,” the etiquette expert told The Sun.

When exiting aircraft, the Royal Family are often met with crowds, photographers or members of the media.

Therefore it is vital they make the best impression possible.

“Often walking down a staircase is the grand entrance to a room or event and is the first impression with all eyes and photos on you,” added the expert.
