Among the many things Middleton can&#39;t do is play Monopoly.

There are arguably many positive elements to joining the royal family: having power, access and seemingly unlimited funds, being widely adored or constantly seeing yourself and your family on the world's stage are just a few.
But as with everything, there are drawbacks to being a Princess. For example, Kate Middleton is not allowed to travel by plane at the same time as her husband Prince William and father-in-law, King Charles, in case of any accident that may occur on the plane. Here are a few of the other things Kate Middleton isn't allowed to do as a royal.
Monopoly is Forbidden
We know you're surprised, but it's true. Any member of the royal family is not allowed to play Monopoly. This rule, which has been in effect since 2008, is described as "bad"&nbsp;entertainment by Kate Middleton's uncle, Prince Andrew.
No Voting
Middleton, who gave up her right to vote after marrying Prince William, remains neutral on Parliamentary matters.
Strict Dress Code
It's true that royal family members must adhere to a strict dress <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/times-kate-middleton-broke-royal-protocol">code</a> when it comes to how they appear in public. Aside from vibrant colors, the only days Middleton is allowed to wear black are during mourning periods.
No Public Displays of Affection
As difficult as it may be for a loving couple, Middleton and her husband, Prince William, are not allowed to openly show affection in public.
No Personal Social Media Account
To prevent identity theft and leaking of private information, members of the Royal family are not allowed to have personal social media accounts.
Nail Color Policy
Per Royal policy, Middleton only has two options when it comes to nail polish color: a soft pink and light nude tone close to skin color.
No Mussels or Oysters
Middleton is also not allowed to consume mussels and oysters at any meal. The health of the royal family may be at risk since seafood requires special storage and digestion.
Queen First
When dining with the queen, after the queen finishes her meal, everyone at the table has to leave the food, even if they are not finished.
She Can't Earn Her Own Money
She may be a professional artist, but when it comes to royal rules, Middleton isn't allowed to profit from her own work.
She Can't Sign Documents
According to royal rules, Middleton is only allowed to sign documents previously approved by Queen Elizabeth II. The reason for this rule is to keep Middleton's signature from being forged.
