From the outside, it may look like Meghan Markle is starring in a fairy tale. After all, her life has gone through a number of sweeping changes recently. She’s met her soulmate and had a whirlwind romance with a prince!

Now that Meghan and Prince Harry have gotten engaged, Meghan must prepare for life as a member of the Royal Family. After she marries in just five short months, it’s likely that she will be officially declared either a princess or a duchess.

While the whole affair does sound rather magical, in reality, becoming a royal has a lot of consequences too. It is a fulltime job with a lot of responsibilities, and it may be a steep learning curve for Meghan to fit in.

Here are 10 things Meghan won’t be able to do once she becomes a royal…

1. Take a selfie

As a former actress, Meghan would be quite used to taking selfies with fans, but as a royal, it’s a big faux pas. However, it looks like she may have already gotten the hang of this rule. In December, Meghan reportedly refused to pose for one, telling a fan “we’re not allowed to do selfies”.

It remains to be seen just how strict this particular rule is, though. It seems other members of the Royal Family have slipped and taken a handheld snap with a stranger, including Prince Charles and even the Queen!

2. Have her own social media accounts

Meghan has already begun shutting down all of her personal social media accounts including well as her blog, which had been called The Tig. It’s likely that she’ll join Harry, William, and Kate under the Kensington Royal accounts.

Harry, William, and Kate currently use the Kensington Royal social media accounts to provide official updates on their charity work. So it looks like we can say goodbye to Meghan’s cute Snapchat filters!

3. Kiss in public

Although there is no official protocol on public displays of affection, it’s unlikely we’ll be seeing Meghan and Harry sharing a smooch anytime soon. Will and Kate don’t even hold hands in public, so the fact that Harry and Meghan do is already considered very modern. A kiss might be pushing it.

If you think these rules are strict, just wait until you find out why Meghan won’t be allowed to open presents on Christmas Day anymore!
