LOCKDOWN has seen many families sit around and play a game of Monopoly, but not for the royals as the Queen has banned them from playing.
The popular board game is beloved by many, but the Monarch, 94, claims it “gets too vicious” so forbids the game altogether.
Prince Andrew let the secret slip in 2008 when he attended Leeds Building Society’s newly-refurbished Albion Street headquarters, Express.co.uk reports.
Before leaving the Duke of York was given the property board game Monopoly to mark his visit, however, was forced to politely decline.
He reportedly said: “we are not allowed to play Monopoly at home”.
And explained the game could cause arguments within the family, as “it gets too vicious,” The Daily Telegraph reported.
And while we can’t relate to much of the royal protocol, this is certainly one rule many of us can understand.
We recently reported that the Queen hates garlic and has banned the pungent spice from being used in any meal cooked in a royal kitchen.
According to Express.co.uk, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, confirmed the royal family is not supposed to eat garlic when appearing on Masterchef Australia in 2018.
In other royal news, Meghan Markle has been secretly working with animal charity as it battles funding crisis during coronavirus lockdown.
Plus ‘furious’ Kate Middleton feels ‘exhausted and trapped’ by ‘enormous’ workload since Megxit, an insider told Tatler.
