**Queen Elizabeth II’s Unconventional Bedroom Habit Revealed**
The late Queen Elizabeth II was known for her peculiar bedroom habit that she strictly adhered to during her yearly retreat to Balmoral.
Following her passing last September, King Charles is now hosting the summer at the Scottish estate, continuing his mother's enduring custom.
Joining the King and Queen Camilla this month are various members of the royal family, including the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Former royal butler Paul Burrill, who served alongside the late Princess Diana for a decade, disclosed a particular preference of the Queen while staying at Balmoral.
He revealed that she insisted on having her bedroom windows open every night to savor the fresh air from the highlands.
Speaking on behalf of Slingo, Mr. Burrill mentioned that it was somewhat ironic that she passed away in a place she cherished deeply—a residence that had remained virtually untouched since Queen Victoria's era, embracing a frugal lifestyle.
From August to early October, Queen Elizabeth II never shut her bedroom windows, even during the chilly nights in Aberdeenshire.
Describing her sleeping quarters akin to the tale of “the princess and the pea,” Mr. Burrill highlighted the abundance of sheets, blankets, and covers that enveloped her, making it a challenge to locate her amidst the cold ambiance of October.
The late Queen's demise at Balmoral on September 8th last year will be commemorated by the royal family on the upcoming one-year anniversary.
While it marks a melancholic occasion for the King and the entire royal household, it presents an opportunity for them to gather and honor the memory of the late queen.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are anticipated to lead the tributes for the first anniversary.
Despite no formal arrangements for public or private gatherings, palace insiders indicated that Prince William and Kate Middleton intend to use the day to look ahead.
With the royal family undergoing a period of transition post the coronation and conclusion of summer recess, there is anticipation for what lies ahead.
The King plans to observe the first anniversary quietly and privately at Balmoral, accompanied by Princess Anne, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and Kate and William with their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
