royal tradition
Crown's inherited practice
Royal tradition refers to customs, ceremonies, and practices maintained by monarchies across generations.
These range from coronation rituals and state funerals to daily protocols like the changing of the guard.
The phrase often carries connotations of pageantry, continuity, and sometimes rigidity: The wedding followed royal tradition to the letter.
It can also imply resistance to change: They broke with royal tradition by announcing it on social media.
