The Royal Family's Silliest Moments Will Crack You Up
Royal protocol can be pretty intense. Some of the most notable rules set in place by the British monarchy include always standing in the Queen's presence and avoiding PDA. But every once in a while, royal family members will let their hair down and have some fun. While it's a rarity, on occasion, they've gotten downright silly. The royal family's silliest moments are guaranteed to make you laugh.
The royal family are a tight-knit bunch, and they've perfected the practice of maintaining proper posture, curtsies, and tea-time etiquette. When they slip up, they're sure to get criticized, but when super-cool actor Meghan Markle joined the family in 2018, she gently bent the age-old royal protocol rules, and it seemed like other members of the family followed suit.
Slowly but surely, the world has begun to see a warmer side of the famous family, and, thanks to social media, many of the royals' candid moments have gone viral. After all, who said royals can't have fun?
Whether it's a quirky moment from Kate Middleton or a silly face from the Queen, these laughable moments from the royal family will make you love them even more.
