Princess Kate reveals she is forbidden from carrying out simple task due to royal rule
The Princess of Wales was made to share "just one of those rules" while on a recent royal outing, after being made to frequently deny a simple request by members of the public.
Kate, the Princess of Wales recently revealed one of the things that she is forbidden from carrying out during royal outings.
The royals seem to have a certain amount of unwritten rules that they need to abide by, with these all being followed perfectly by the likes of the Princess of Wales.
During an outing to the Chelsea Flower Show earlier this year, Princess Kate appeared to let slip one simple rule that she has to follow – and one that is frequently asked of her by the public.
When she was having a chat with some of the children attending the event, Kate revealed that she is not allowed to provide the public with a souvenir – such as an autograph.
At one point, Kate drew some sketches as she and the children were identifying the bugs there, with one child asking if the royal could sign her name on their drawing.
According to the Telegraph, Kate sweetly responded to the child: “My name’s Catherine. I’m not allowed to sign my signature, it’s just one of those rules.”
Not wanting to disappoint the children, she did, however, do some additional drawings for them – including one of a flower and another of a pond surrounded by some plants.
During another part of the visit, Kate was quizzed about royal life by some of the children.
Answering the inquisitive children, Kate told them: “You have to work hard”.

Despite sticking to this rule, Kate and Prince William have been known to not follow some rules since the death of the late Queen.
Following her death, while the royal couple greeted some wellwishers near Balmoral, Kate and William were spotted posing for pictures with them.
During the emotional time, the couple even put their arms around them when smiling for the pictures.
Although this is not known to be a forbidden rule, it is something firmly disliked by some royals.

Despite taking the opportunity last year, William previously said he was “allergic” to selfies.
Prince Harry once stated he didn’t like selfies, once telling a fan to “take a normal photograph” when they asked for one in 2015.
In 2017, a few months prior to officially joining the Royal Family, Meghan Markle also had to tell a fan that she couldn’t take a picture with them while on her first-ever royal engagement.
