25+ Facts About the Life of the British Royal Family Behind Closed Doors
Documentary Debacle
During the late-’60s, a documentary was commissioned by the royal family. It was made in 1969 to showcase the everyday lives of the Windsors and was released around the time King Charles became the Prince of Wales. Unfortunately, the film was ill-received and was pulled from the public due to the mixed reception from the population.
At the time, and since then, the general public has expressed concerns about the necessity and purpose of the royal family. Many acknowledged the power lying in other governing establishments rather than with the royal lineage.
Multi-Lingual Meetings
Despite some of the public’s attention, the British royal family always carries themselves in a dignified manner. Whether entertaining world leaders visiting England or making the trip themselves to foreign countries, the Windsors conduct themselves gracefully at all times.
Before visiting a foreign land, each royal family member will speak with consultants and staff members about local customs and greetings. Upon arrival, each family member will have learned how to greet their hosts in the local language properly.
Short Trips
Traveling the world over can be a dream come true. The upper class made this ideal lifestyle famous as they could best afford a globetrotting lifestyle. With the wave of remote workers, traveling the world is more accessible.
Unfortunately, this glamorous life of traveling the world on a whim isn’t as realistic for the British royal family. Trips to far-off countries are less like vacations and more like business trips where they must focus on meetings and charity work.
Humbled Makeup
Prince William has lived on the world’s stage and has appeared in countless newspapers and magazines. His courtship of Kate Middleton was followed by one of the biggest televised events as most of England, and much of the world, tuned in for the wedding.
The world has adored Kate Middleton and admired her and Prince William’s relationship. What made Kate more endearing to the public was that rather than rely on professional makeup artists, the now princess applied her own makeup.
Unsurprisingly, the British royal family lives a life a cut above the rest. The world admires the Windsors, especially the late Queen Elizabeth II. Although this may come as a shock, the royal family is more down to Earth than you may imagine. There are still rules for etiquette, how to wear a tiara properly, and the correct age for boys to begin wearing pants. We’ll also explore the interests and concerns that truly make the royal family more relatable to the everyday individual.
