Queen Elizabeth, the longest-reigning British monarch, has a lot of things to teach her grandson Prince George when it comes to affairs of state, but at the age of 92, Her Majesty also has aplenty of practical life skills she is trying to pass on to the future king of England.

One of the first of that skill she taught him that putting away his toys is not among the many duties Royal household staff has and that he must do it himself. The Queen applies the same rule to George’s sister, Princess Charlotte. Prince Louis is exempt since he is just a baby, but his time will come too.
There are other rules Queen Elisabeth insists on when her grandchildren are visiting her. The most important one minds your manners. While both George and Charlotte are reported as very well-behaved children, they are brought up always to be mindful of their behavior, especially when out in public and the presence of their grandmother, the queen.

No pasta is another of Queen’s rules. She doesn’t approve of starchy food and she even banned it form the Buckingham Palace menu. It is only allowed on special occasions.
Queen Elisabeth insist that Prince George doesn’t wear pants until he turns eight. Apparently, the practice is very suburban and not fit for noble families. That is why we always see him in long shorts and socks.

And there is a question of bowing to the Queen. Per etiquette, princes and princess don’t start bowing and curtsying to the queen until they reach the age of five, but Prince George seems to have started the practice a year earlier, much to the delight of his grandmother. After all, not many grandparents can boast with a grandson bowing to them.
