10 Strict Marriage Rules That
the Royal Family Has to Follow

1. Queen’s Blessing is Required
Permission must be granted by the
Queen in order for a royal family member
to propose. It’s in writing with The Royal
Marriages Act of 1772.
2. Formal Engagement Announcement
All royal engagements get the royal
treatment with a formal announcement
to the public and press.
3. Engagement Interview
This is fairly recent, but following
the official announcement of a royal
engagement, an interview with the couple
takes place for the press.
4. Bride Must Wear White
Queen Victoria started this tradition in
England in 1840.
5. Catholic Marriages are Not Allowed
According to the 1701 Act of
Settlement, royals are banned from
marrying Catholics. The royals head
the Church of England, which is
Protestant. It’s speculated that
Meghan Markle will be baptized into the
Protestant faith before her marriage.
6. Invites Come from the Queen
Wedding invitations are sent out by the
Queen herself on behalf of members of
the royal family. Almost 2,000 were
delivered for Prince William and Kate
Middleton’s wedding.
7. Wedding Ceremony Seating is Right
The royal family is always seated on
the right side of the church unless the
groom is not a royal.
8. Female Guest Attire
Women attending the wedding must
wear dress hats.
9. Each Bridal Bouquet Has a Special
Touch
Myrtle is known as the flower of love
and marriage, and has been included
in royal bouquets since 1858, when
Queen Victoria’s own daughter Victoria
wed. Each royal bride carries a sprig
cut from the same bush.
10. The Bouquet is Not Tossed
After the wedding, the bride lays her
bouquet on the tomb of the Unknown
Warrior, a tradition started by the
Queen Mother when she married King
George VI.
