Royal Rules That Aren't True
These 8 Royal Family "Rules" Are Total Myths

The royal family has to follow the Queen's lead on pretty much everything, but do they really all have to ask her permission to get married? Not quite. Until recent years, the monarch did have to approve all royal marriages, but since 2013, only the first six in line to the throne have to get permission. That's why the Queen did have to issue official consent for Prince Harry's marriage to Meghan Markle, since he's currently sixth in line, but not for Princess Eugenie's marriage to Jack Brooksbank, since Eugenie is only ninth.
