Dont pat the dogs !!

This makes me snort.

The advice about not patting dogs is good but wasn't this written in order to elevate royalty above the plebs?

Heaven forfend you should ask to see her baby as if she was just like any other Mum in the village!

"Know your place, peasant, you're not even worthy to pat the dogs and don't forget the forelock.'

Haha sirchenin that's hilarious, Im still giggling

What will they do for take away menus then Chewbacca ? ??

I wonder if H & M get piles of crap junk mail shoved through their letterbox or whether the new diktat for their neighbours will also extend to local double glazing salesmen; loft extension companies and pizza deliveries too?

Yikes, Dustyangel - that would give you a bit of a fright, like Shakespeare's Birnam Wood to Dunsinane come to life!

I’m obviously also too old to remember how to put names in heavy print

No nanna it’s not just you

“SueDomin” years ago we were dog walking on a nearby permitted area of MOD land when all of a sudden the bushes did get up and start moving.

Don't post anything through the letterbox of Frogmore Cottage

Assuming you can get close enough, do they actually have a letterbox? Surely all their post is security vetted somewhere else.

I just can't imagine Postman Pat whistling his way up the drive bidding, 'Good Morning' to the gardener and stopping for a cuppa with the cook!

well at least we can keep each other company in The Tower then Lemongrove :-)

Nope, it’s not just you! ??

Is it just me or when receiving a list of instructions on behaviours such as these I have the sudden urge to do the exact opposite ????

Hmmm - I wonder?! Presumably a fulsome letter of apology from H&M has been issued to those neighbours?

It is reported that this list was issued by an over zealous official without the knowledge of Harry & Meghan. Oh yeah

It must be the day for instructions - the odious JRM has issued the following list of banned words www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-49137619 which includes the use of imperial rather than metric measurements

There aren't any bushes in that terrain, just heather, heather and more heather. But yes, there will have been security, of course. It's just very discreet - maybe snipers with bunches of heather on their heads, peering round granite boulders!

I did wonder what would happen if you broke the rules ?

.Orf with your head ?

Oh I'm sure there were bodyguards and security hiding in the bushes, ready to pounce

I wonder what happens if anyone should disobey. Will they get banged up in the Tower until they've learnt the error of their ways?

My dd's friends were walking in the hills round here when a little dog ran over to them. The owner called the dog back and apologised for its behaviour. It was only when the owner had gone that dd's friends realised it was the Queen! She was all alone, out for a stroll with her dog.

Am musing on ‘some other pleasantry’ if you encounter them......’alright mate?’ ‘Hot enough for you?!’ ‘How’s Granny?’
I expect the residents living nearby don’t need a list on how to behave.

merlot

If I got one of those lists from H&M I’d send them one right back with instructions on how to behave around the Chen’s

Don't ask to see baby Archie or offer to babysit

I love that one and

probably not a good idea to wear one of these

I would never pat a strange dog unless I am having a conversation with the owner and the dog appears friendly. I always talk to the dog before touching it.

I read the article earlier this morning and thought it was daft because anyone living on any of the royal estates (more than likely members of staff) knows how to behave if they encounter them while out for a walk.

In H&M's case though it's probably wise to avert your eyes, lower your head and continue on your humble way

We should ask phoenix what to do because IIRC she used to live in a grace and favour apartment on the Windsor estate.

Don’t pay the dog is just one instruction - the list of dos and don’ts also includes -
Don't approach or instigate conversation if you see them
Do say 'Good Morning' or some other pleasantry if they speak to you
Don't pet or stroke their dogs, even if they come over to you
Don't offer to walk their dogs
Don't ask to see baby Archie or offer to babysit
Don't post anything through the letterbox of Frogmore Cottage

It may be that H&M know nothing about this, but if they have approved it - holy moly!

No, I'd never approach a strange dog let alone pat it.
Children for instance aren't always kind to dogs---pulled hair/tail etc. and if a dog was to turn on a child or even an adult a lawsuit would arise, so leave well alone.
