Meghan Markle must follow strict royal toilet rule before nipping to the loo during a dinner party
Let's face it, pretty much all the dinner parties Kate, Wills, Meghan and Harry attend are probably a tad fancier than the ones we go to.
We're not complaining - who doesn't love a spag bol and an apple crumble at their mate's house - but the royal celebrations do look very glamorous.
But with the fancy frocks and food comes a lot of rules which must followed if you're a member of the royal family.
Some of them are pretty obvious, such as holding your cutlery correctly, but there are others you might not have heard of
And it turns out the royals can't even quietly pop to the loo without remembering to do a few things.
A royal must never 'announce their intentions' when they leave the table to go to the loo. Instead they must just say "excuse me" and leave.
That's easy enough. But there's another thing they must remember to do if they want to have some food left when they return, reports Business Insider .
If they haven't finished eating they must cross their knife and fork.
This isn't to stop those around them helping themselves while they're away (we're looking at you Prince Harry...) but it's a message to their staff that they're not finished eating.
