Prince William and the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) aren’t people you would describe as royal rule breakers as the two usually stay in line with protocol. However, even the future king and queen are caught breaking the rules every once in a while.

As a part of the royal family, Kate Middleton is no stranger to publicity. But thanks to TikTok, the Princess of Wales is currently garnering buzz for something a little more random: her "Princess Shuffle." Coined by social media users, the term describes a move Middleton made while meeting Queen Margrethe II and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark back in 2022. In a now-viral clip resurfaced by The Royal Watcher TikTok account, Middleton posed for photos with Queen Margrethe, scooting her feet closer in a quick heel-toe motion to get into frame.
Evidently, the movement was just as subtle as it was effective, since no one really noticed Middleton's strategy until now. Some commenters theorized that she might use the shuffle to avoid taking an awkward step that could end up photographed. Others just marveled at her ability to wiggle across the carpet so effortlessly - in heels,...

As the second child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Princess Charlotte is third in the line of succession in the royal family behind her father and brother, Prince George. The 7-year-old is the first female royal that benefits from a change her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, made to the rules of succession in the 2010s. However, as Charlotte grows into her future role as a senior royal, there is one title she cannot inherit, Princess Royal, until this unfortunate event occurs.

Citing her desire to give them more control over their lives, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark has relieved four of her grandchildren of their royal titles, the royal palace revealed on Sept. 28.
"With her decision, Her Majesty The Queen wishes to create the framework for the four grandchildren to be able to shape their own lives to a much greater extent without being limited by the special considerations and duties that a formal affiliation with the Royal House of Denmark as an institution involves," the palace's statement read.
The queen originally bestowed royal titles on all of her grandchildren, per the palace's statement. As of today, Margrethe's second son Joachim's children will no longer be referred to as prince and princess and "his/her highness." This means that Nikolai, 23, and Felix, 20, whom he shares with his first wife, Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg, and his children with current wife Princess Marie - Henrik,...
