If you're the leader of the Commonwealth, everything that you need will be prepared for you. From your bath to the things you need when you travel, your royal butler will take care of everything. Take it from Queen Elizabeth II herself. She doesn't simply take a bath, as her water has to reach a certain level before she digs in and when it comes to traveling, she's bringing home comforts wherever she's going.
Her Majesty has a member of staff who prepares her morning bath for her. According to Daily Mail, she starts her day with an 8 a.m. bath if she's at Buckingham Palace. Her water needs to be seven inches deep--no more, no less--and with an exact temperature.
Royal correspondent Brian Hoey revealed that a maid would turn the radio on for Queen Elizabeth and tune in to BBC Radio so that she could listen to Today when she got up from the bed. The monarch would then enjoy her cup of morning tea, while the help would prepare her bath.
"Her maid will go into the adjoining bathroom to draw the bath, which has to be exactly the right temperature," he said, per The Sun. The temperature would be tested with a wooden-cased thermometer and had no more than seven inches of water.
While Queen Elizabeth is busy bathing, one of her dressers will be laying out her outfit in the dressing room, which has floor-to-ceiling mirrors and walk-in wardrobes. For the whole day, Her Royal Highness will have up to five outfit changes, depending on her schedule. Her dressmaker and stylist Angela Kelly will oversee these outfits as she prepares for it the night before.
When Queen Elizabeth travels, Express noted that she likes to bring home comforts with her and one of those is her favorite brand of tea. As Britons are famous for their love of tea, she is no stranger to that. She's a big fan of hot caffeinated beverages in general.
So, when she travels, she brings in an ample supply of Earl Grey tea, especially created for her by Twinnings. It is a combination of lemon and bergamot flavored black tea, but she drinks it differently. As Britons love to add milk and sugar in their drink, she likes it without those.
Queen Elizabeth can even have this drink whenever she likes as she brings her own kettle with her, and it's not an ordinary one. In Peter Pigott's 2005 book Royal Transport, he revealed that her kettle is monogrammed, and her water on her flights used to be Malvern, before it went out of business in 2011.
