The Princess of Wales refused to sign the notebooks of young schoolchildren. She met a hundred children, from ten different primary schools, on the occasion of a big picnic.
Kate Middleton, who still sketched flowers and trees on some schoolchildren, gave a summary explanation on this subject. "My name is Catherine," she said. "I'm not allowed to write my signature, it's just one of those rules that I have to follow." It would also be discouraged for the royal family to order shellfish on a trip abroad.
