The 'cruel’ royal rule Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have to follow

A 'cruel' royal rule that Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are forced to adhere to, despite their young age, will leave you somewhat mystified.

• An archaic rule dictates that the Queen can take all official gifts given to any royal family member.
• This means that when the Cambridge kids get gifts from anyone outside the family, they may never even get them.
• In other royal news, The Queen and senior Royals could help Ukraine refugees with jobs and housing on their private estates—'All the households are united in this'

The Queen's great-grandchildren Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are growing up with more privilege than most people on the planet. Despite this, it seems that they might be missing out on something the average child enjoys—presents.

According to The Royal Family website guide on gifts, which is a stonking seven pages long, it all comes down to when the gift is received.

The guide states,  “Gifts are defined as official when received during an official engagement or duty or in connection with the official role or duties of a Member of The Royal Family.”

It continues, “Official gifts are not the private property of the Member of The Royal Family who receives them but are instead received in an official capacity in the course of official duties in support of, and on behalf of The Queen."

In other words, per Buckingham Palace rules, any adoring fan or public figure that gives a gift to the mini Cambridges has to accept the fact that those gifts may well be taken from the child.

Don't feel too sorry for the young Princes and Princess, as this rule only applies to people outside The Royal Family. Luckily the kids can still get gifts from their parents and immediate family members—gifts that one can assume aren't too shabby at all.
