Sarah Ferguson has 'earned the right to be included in family occasions'

When it comes to travelling abroad, a number of rules exist to protect The King and other members of his family when they fly overseas and some of them are unbelievable. Whether it is bringing their own alcohol for fear of poisoning or not allowing two or more heirs to the throne to travel in the same plane - all the rules are in place for a reason.There is another important royal custom which has been bought in after a previous experience left the late Queen unprepared for her monumental return to the UK. This rule now affects every member of the Royal Family whenever they travel abroad so that a similar situation doesn't arise.

The Royal Family welcomed back Sarah Ferguson to one of their most significant occasions, suggesting that "all is not lost" with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle amid the rift, a royal expert said.

As reported continue to swirl that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are trying to action their '2024 redemption plan', a royal author has claimed Prince William and Kate Middleton have made it "clear" the Sussexes are not welcome in the Royal Family. Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, are said to be working on rehabilitating their image after a drama-filled few years, but the couple failed to attend another Christmas with the Royal Family, opting to remain in California.

Princess Eugenie has "maintained a close relationship" with Prince Harry amid the Royal Family rift, with hopes that Sarah Ferguson could "act as a mentor" for a family reunion.

Prince William once got into a "water fight" when he let loose during a Royal Family Christmas party.

From travelling the world to living in palaces, it would be hard to argue that being a member of the royal family didn't come without its perks. But alongside these benefits comes a long list of rules that members of the family must remember and comply with. In terms of fashion and beauty, there are ample style regulations put in place that must be followed at all times.This includes things from no bright nail varnish to female royals not being allowed to take their coats off while in public - no matter the temperature.

After two days of eating and drinking in lavish style, Boxing Day is when many of the royals get up early, pull on their waxed Barbour jackets and wellington boots, and load their guns for a day of shooting on the 20,000-acre Sandringham estate.

Along with cringey cracker jokes, fights over the best Quality Street chocolate and post-lunch naps in front of the TV, Christmas Day would not feel right if we didn’t see the royals heading off on their seasonal trip to church. While the service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham is a strictly private affair, all eyes turn on the family as they make their way there, often stopping to chat to locals who gather to give their seasonal greetings. Last year, the family headed to church for the first time without Queen Elizabeth II leading the way.
