The Weird Bath Time Rule Prince Charles' Staffers Must Follow

Burrell noted that Prince Charles has a very specific bath time routine that must be closely followed. "His underwear is folded in a certain way and his bath towel has to be placed in a certain fashion," said Burrell. "When it comes to bathing the bath plug has to be in a certain position, the water temperature has to be just tepid, and only half full."

If someone makes a mistake, they won't be beheaded or banished to the Tower of London — but they will be "scolded."

It seems bath time is only relaxing in royal households if you're the one taking the bath. Queen Elizabeth is also said to have a strict bath time ritual — just one aspect of her insanely lavish life. According to the Daily Mail, a maid draws the queen's bath while the queen relaxes with a morning cup of tea. The bath must "be exactly the right temperature" and can have "no more than seven inches of water."
