The Queen has reportedly banned her great-grandchildren from playing the game Monopoly after it apparently turned ‘vicious’ for them.
This royal restriction was first addressed by Prince Andrew in an interview with The Telegraph in 2008 whilst visiting the newly refurbished Leeds Building Society headquarters.
Upon his visit, he was given a Monopoly set, to which he responded: “We’re not allowed to play Monopoly at home. It gets too vicious.”

Prince William went on to later explain how the property building game is a family favourite, especially over Christmas.
Speaking to young patients at a Q&A session at The Royal Marsden Foundation Trust in 2021, he explained: “When I see my children meet up with my cousins’ children, and they all have a wonderful time playing together, it’s very special.

“Christmas is a new dynamic when you have children, suddenly it’s a whole different ballgame of noise and excitement
“We love Monopoly and Risk, that’s a good game, it goes on for hours and usually everyone gets really cross because they lose but that’s what I like playing.”
Her Majesty is no stranger to the game, after having her own special version of Monopoly made for the public to buy.
This version of the board has landmarks such as Balmoral Castle, Sandringham House, and even Buckingham Palace as properties for players to buy.

The ever-popular game has been around for almost 90 years and has over 300 different editions.
This includes film franchises such as Star Wars and Harry Potter, while a digital version has also been released that features a credit card instead of actual cash.
