00:00 Even the British royals must abide by guidelines on public holidays, restricting them from
00:04 engaging in certain activities.
00:07 These restrictions extend to the British royal family during the Christmas season.
00:11 While Christmas is typically a family affair, Mike Tindall spilled the beans in his podcast,
00:15 unveiling a surprising tradition - adults and children not only dine at separate tables
00:19 but also in entirely different rooms.
00:21 The reason behind this unique tradition?
00:24 Kids earn the privilege of dining with adults once they've mastered the fine art of polite
00:27 conversation.
00:29 During the holidays, watching television for hours on end is frowned upon and the family
00:33 is encouraged to engage in outdoor activities together.
00:36 However, they are allowed to watch the monarch's speech on TV and they share walks and many
00:40 other engaging activities as a family.
00:43 The royal family, renowned for their passion for sports and games, particularly favoured
00:47 by Princess Kate and Prince William, although Monopoly seems to be off limits.
00:51 Prince Andrew revealed that Queen Elizabeth banned the game due to the intense and too
00:55 vicious competition among family members.
00:58 It is considered impolite for royals to go to bed before the monarch, and King Charles,
01:02 known for his late-night habits, typically stays up quite late.
01:05 The royal family does not see Christmas as a time to shower each other with expensive
01:09 gifts but prefers to entertain themselves with original jokes.
