Here's something you don't see every day: Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and their mom, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, all signed their names on a painting that's on one of Ed Sheeran's guitars. Now, this isn't just any guitar—it's being auctioned off to support a charity close to their hearts, Children in Crisis. The Duchess shared the moment on her Instagram account, giving fans a glimpse into the family's charitable endeavors. But here's the twist: the British royal family has strict protocols about signing autographs, so the princesses stepping outside those boundaries is a big deal.

So, why is it such a big deal for royals to sign autographs? Well, in the world of celebrities, autographs are common, but for the royal family, it's a no-go. Why? It's all about preventing fraud. The fear is that someone might try to forge their signature for less-than-honest reasons or even sell fake autographs. But hey, this is for charity, right? Shouldn't that count for something? While it’s a good cause, there are still rules. Interestingly, there are ways to get a royal signature. Before she became the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle wrote a heartfelt note for a fan during a visit to Cardiff Castle with Prince Harry—but she didn't sign her name, sticking to royal protocol.
Why Is Princess Eugenie on Instagram While Meghan Markle Isn't?
Now, here's a fun twist: Sarah Ferguson, like many proud moms, loves sharing pictures of her daughters on social media. But she's not the only royal with a knack for social networking. Princess Eugenie recently joined Instagram, leaving many to wonder why she's on the platform while Meghan Markle isn't. It all comes down to rank and where Eugenie stands in line to the throne. Since Princess Eugenie of York isn't a full-time royal and works a regular job like the rest of us, she's allowed to manage her own social media accounts. She doesn't have to represent the monarchy in the same way as those in higher-ranking roles. While we're thrilled to get a peek into royal life, maybe Sarah and Eugenie should brush up on those royal rules to avoid any future controversies!
