According to Architectural Digest , the monarch calls Buckingham Palace home, spending most of her time in the room castle.
Of course, if those quarters get cramped — as if! Of course, Buckingham Palace's royal residence ought to be more than sufficient for Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip. It's been spacious enough for royalty since , per Royal. Even more extreme than that, nobody is allowed to be within earshot of the queen when she is using the bathroom. She has made it very clear that she does not want anybody overhearing what she is doing in there.
We suppose that living a life in the eye of the public can be very stressful, and those few precious minutes on the toilet may be the only privacy she gets. Something that hundreds, if not thousands of Buckingham Palace tour guests have complained about is that there are not nearly enough toilets for the tour guests.
A full tour of Buckingham Palace can take up to three hours to complete, and as you could imagine, for most people, that is a long time to go without access to a toilet, particularly for children and seniors. Keeping in mind that the tour is so long, the fact that the only guest toilets available for tour groups are at the end of the tour is downright ridiculous.
To be clear, there are actually no toilets inside of the palace designated for the tour guests, and instead, people must wait to use the portable toilets in the gardens. For a royal family with so much money, why exactly they would put their guests at risk of soiling themselves is beyond us. Speaking of odd things, something else worth mentioning is that the Queen has a very strict bathing routine.
The water must be measured for temperature using a wooden-cased thermometer, and it must be the exact temperature she wants. Moreover, the Queen also dictates that there are to be no more or no less than seven inches of water in the bathtub. There is also the fact that she always wants to get in the bathtub at AM sharp.

Dec 8, Aug 24, A Union Jack flying alone indicates the Queen is not in residence at a property. I t took an Olympic hero to lift the lid on the secret history of the British monarchy's toilets. In this picture, posted on Twitter by judo silver medallist Gemma Gibbons , a nicely upholstered chair glows golden against a diamond-patterned red carpet in front of a row of toilet cubicles that offer something a bit different from your standard plastic seat.
These loos are done out in dark varnished wood and lack the customary flushable tank that is suspended above most modern bogs. Gibbons snapped and posted the picture because she had "never seen anything so posh".
Her photograph has the hashtag howtheroyalspee. But is that what the picture shows? This is clearly a public toilet for guests at Buckingham Palace — where Gemma Gibbons was invited to a reception for Britain's successful Olympians and Paralympians — rather than the Queen's actual lavatory.
