The Queen has to be on top form to be in charge of the Royal Family every day, and apparently, the monarch has a very strict morning routine, which involves tuning into her favourite radio station, enjoying a cup of tea and a long soak in the bath before getting dressed. But there’s a specific temperature and depth she likes to bathe in.
Buckingham Palace reportedly “starts to stir” with activity around 7.30am, as the overnight staff near the end of their shift.
Her Majesty’s maid will enter the Queen’s bedroom with a ‘morning tray’ - on it is one pot of Earl Grey tea, and one pot of hot water, both apparently in solid silver.
There is also a small jug of cold milk, but no sugar.
Her tea is poured into a bone china cup and saucer, with a napkin that has the royal cypher E II R embossed on it.

The maid then turns on BBC Radio 4, and the Queen starts the day by listening to the Today programme.
While the monarch enjoys her first cup of tea from the comfort of her bed, her maid “will go into the adjoining bathroom to draw the bath”.
The bath has to be “exactly the right temperature” - how hot or cold the Queen likes her bath, no one knows.
The water is then “tested with a wooden-cased thermometer” to ensure it is suitable for the Queen to bathe in.

She prefers to keep it simple when it comes to breakfast, with only two options according to former royal chef, Darren McGrady.
Sometimes she enjoys a bowl of Special K with some assorted fruits - which is served from a plastic container.
