Wild Facts About the Royal Family Every Anglophile Should Know

However glamorous being a royal might look, there are plenty of restrictions that make the job challenging. For example, members of the Royal Family are not allowed to eat seafood or shellfish while traveling or out at public events. While this is a total bummer, the reasoning behind this rule is quite practical.

Royals can’t eat seafood because of the risk of food poisoning. Seafood is very delicate, and the chances of eating spoiled oysters is just not worth it! As we all know, food poisoning is the worst. Imagine having to face the public with an upset stomach and nauseousness! Despite this rule, King Charles has been known to indulge in some seafood here and there. He’s obviously willing to risk it all for some tasty shrimp.
