Find out the reason why many past monarchs including Queen Elizabeth I thought bathing was dangerous. The late Queen Elizabeth II had a super strict bath time routine that involved very precise temperature and depth measurements and a cup of tea, according to a royal expert.

As for why the Queen chooses a bath every morning at precisely 8am instead of hopping in the shower, royal expert Craig Brown said: "She always took a bath because she and other royals believe showers are for people who are rushing out the door to get to work.". Queen Elizabeth's baths are always exactly seven inches deep and a member of her staff measures them to make sure they're precisely right.
