Palace Insiders Revealed A Quirky Detail About Queen Elizabeth’s Morning Routine
Most people have a fairly simple getting-out-of-bed routine, but the Queen… she’s got to be in another category altogether, right? Yep, it takes several servants to carry out the Queen’s early morning requirements to perfection. And over the years, those staff members have let slip about the tasks they have to do to get the monarch ready for the day. Some are quite bizarre — just to warn you.
The Queen alone
It’s one of the most fascinating aspects of palace life – what exactly does the Queen do when there are no cameras on her? When she’s on her own doing ordinary things? Well, thanks to insiders who have worked as her staff members, we know a little bit about what she gets up to in the privacy of her home.
Morning time
To ardent royalists as well as the habitually curious, the Queen’s morning routine is of particular interest. What’s the ruler of the United Kingdom like in the mornings? Is she grumpy? Let’s be honest, many of us may well be grumpy if we faced the prospect of getting up and shaking hands with hundreds of people. Let’s find out what happens behind that closed bedroom door.
Wake-up call
According to those anonymous people in the know, the Queen isn’t really much of a morning person. While Meghan Markle apparently gets up at 4:30 a.m. some days, the Queen has seldom been up with the lark. She prefers to be woken up at what most would probably consider quite a sensible time: 7:30 a.m.
Guarding the Queen
But first, a word on how the Queen sleeps. The monarch has a policeman guarding her bedroom at all times, ready to spring into action. If they fail to do their job, the Queen’s life could be in danger. And things have gone very wrong in the past.
