10 Times the British Royal Family Showed Us That Some Rules Are Meant to Be Broken

Prince Charles surprised everyone when he broke protocol to sign an autograph for victims of the Cornwall floods back in November 2010. While meeting with a couple, he was asked, "Can I be really cheeky, please, Sir, and can I have your autograph for my young son Tom? I'm not sure if you do autographs but it would make his day?" Charles then shocked his bodyguards when he asked one of them to find a piece of paper for him to sign. He wrote "Charles 2010" and even apologized for the "shaky writing" because he "never writes standing up."
