The life of members of the British royal family is strictly regulated. The Windsors must follow strict protocol even when they are not seen by their subjects.
So, Kate Middleton and Prince William must always have mourning costumes on hand. Going on a trip, the famous couple each time puts a set of black clothes in a suitcase. If any tragedy suddenly occurs, the monarchs should appear before the people in the form appropriate to the sad occasion.
There is another rule of royal travel that can shock the unprepared public. In the luggage of royal persons there are always bags with blood and its products of the correct Rh factor. If suddenly the king or one of his relatives gets injured with a serious loss of blood, doctors will not have to waste time looking for donors. Dickey Arbiter, former secretary of Elizabeth II, told the press about the creepy packages that can be found in the luggage of the Windsors.
“There is never any guarantee that you will receive the correct type of blood at your destination,” Arbiter told reporters.
At one time, Elizabeth II was accompanied on trips by a doctor from the Royal Navy. The medic was always within walking distance of the queen. With him, the doctor had “a bulky medical bag containing a mobile defibrillator and all kinds of emergency supplies.”
In addition, the monarch and heirs to the throne of the first line are prohibited from flying on the same plane. Pretenders to the throne should not simultaneously expose themselves to the risk of being killed in a plane crash. However, Prince William violated this safety rule many times. Husband Kate Middleton flew on the same flight with his eldest son, Prince George, when this was not allowed.
