Princess Diana's ring
It was decided between Prince Harry and Prince William that whoever got engaged first would get Princess Diana's sapphire ring surrounded by diamonds. Kate has also been called the people's princess, so it makes sense she would get Diana's ring.

It wasn't.
He was the first royal heir to do so.

She sure did.
She did do her own makeup, but not without some lessons first. She was taught some tricks and tips by makeup artist Arabella Preston. With such a fancy event, what better way to feel like yourself than doing your own makeup?
Absolutely not

Her sister did it.

More than once
When photos of Kate were published in gossip magazines, the royal couple sued for printing the paparazzi photos of Kate while on vacation or during various wardrobe malfunctions. Due to the nature of Princess Diana's death, William has been open about his dislike for the press.
That's not allowed.
They tried.
Definitely not

They broke a lot of rules.
There's no tradition behind it.
Not exactly
For the longest time, members of the royal family were educated at home, but when it was time for Prince Harry and William to go to school, Diana sent them to public school. It's definitely against the grain, but Will and Kate weren't the first ones to do it.

Of course it kind of defeats the whole purpose of having code names if people know what they are, but just like anything these days, people talk. The safety of the key members of the royal family is crucial, so maybe the names they use change quite often.

He's not supposed to.
He doesn't like jewelry.
There's really no more to it than the fact he doesn't like to wear jewelry. It's not really required of him, so there's nothing wrong with it. Plus, it's not like he could meet anyone who doesn't know he's married.
The men in the royal family never do.
He lost it.
