Future life : The things Meghan Markle wouldn't be able to do on becoming a royal

1. Taking selfies
When Meghan Markle becomes a duchess she would no longer be allowed to take selfies.  It appears she's already practicing this rule.  During her first official event with Prince Harry, the actress revealed that she is no longer allowed to take selfies with fans when a couple asked for a picture with her.  She told the couple, “We’re not allowed to do selfies."  The rule was established to encourage people to make eye contact and conversation with royals, instead of turning their backs to them (a huge no-no) to take a selfies.

2. Signing Autographs
Just as in selfie-taking, Markle will not be allowed to sign autographs when she becomes a royal.  The rule stems from a fear that autographs may lead to people forgetting their signatures, which is why they're only allowed to sign royal documents and sometimes, visitors' books, according to The Royal U.K., a website dedicated to the family. 

3. Using Social Media

Meghan Markle's social media, including her Twitter and Instagram, have been dormant for months. As you might expect, she will no longer be able to use her own personal accounts. Instead, like Prince Harry, William, and Kate Middleton, she will use the family's Kensington Royal account to share updates on her life and royal happenings.  The account is where the family shared her engagement pictures and announcement.

4. Public Display of Affection
In spite of the frequent hand-holding and touching we've seen from Prince Harry and Markle, P.D.A. is not common in the Royal Family.  Though there is no official rule that restricts public displays of affection, there is a longstanding tradition that royal couples keep their P.D.A. to a minimum, according to royal etiquette expert, Myka Meier, for People.  That could be why one rarely sees Kate Middleton and Prince William kiss in public since their wedding.  Given that Markle and Prince Harry already almost broke this rule when they held hands during their engagement announcement, Meier predicts that this rule will slowly be fizzled out by the couple. “Meghan and Prince Harry holding hands at a royal engagement is a refreshingly modern approach to their new role both as a couple and as representative of the royal family," Meier said.

5. Voting
Immediately Markle marries Prince Harry, she will obtain her U.K. citizenship, but that doesn't mean that she will be able to participate in the same rights that other U.K. citizens can.  Though it isn't outlawed, an official site for the U.K. parliament claims that it is "unconstitutional" for the Monarch to vote and that many Royal Family members also don't participate in elections out of "convention." “Although not prohibited by law, it is considered unconstitutional for the Monarch to vote in an election,” the site said.

6. Wearing Colored Nail Polish
A look at Markle's hands in recent months easily confirms that she's already started following this rule.  According to sources for OK! magazine, Royal Family members are prohibited from wearing dark and colored nail polish, meaning that they stick with skin-tone shades.  Both the Queen and Kate Middleton are a fan of Essie's $9 peachy colors, so it is being predicted that Markle will also be a big customer of the brand.

7. Eating at Her Own Pace

Just as with learning how to properly greet the Queen, Markle will need to learn how to eat with her, as well.  According to Diane Gottsman, author of Modern Etiquette for a Better Life, who spoke to Bravo, there are strict rules when eating with the Queen.  One, Markle will not begin eating until the Queen has started.  Second, she needs to keep a close eye on the Queen's plate because when she finishes, everyone around her also must stop eating, even if there is still food.  This could be a struggle considering how quickly the Queen eats, according to the grapevine. "No one should start eating before the Monarch and no one should carry on eating after the Monarch has finished," Gottsman said.

8. Having Her Own Bed Time
Though she's allowed to rest whenever she wants in her home, when she stays at the Queen's house, Markle must stay up until the Queen goes to sleep, according to the Daily Beast. 

9. Being the First to Enter a Room
Along with sitting next to Prince Harry 99 percent of the time she's at a Royal Family gather, Markle will also need to be wary of who is entering the room and when.  According to Reader's Digest, there is a strict hierarchy for who can enter a room first.  The order goes: Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Camila, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and then likely, Prince Harry and Markle.
