As it turns out, the Queen has many very peculiar habits – some to maintain her public image, but most of them are because the Queen likes it that way!

Below are 9 secret habits of Queen Elizabeth II recorded by many journalists in the UK, as revealed by sources close to the British Royal Family .

1. The Queen always carries a blood bag with her when she goes out

The Queen does not need a regular passport, but she always carries a personal blood bag

When the Queen goes out, there are always a few close doctors with her. Their responsibility is to find out which hospital the location they are about to visit is located near. In addition, they always carry a defibrillator, emergency medicine and the Queen’s personal blood bag in case of an emergency.

2. It is forbidden to open windows at Buckingham Palace

The goal is to ensure the palace’s perfect appearance when viewed from the outside. Because if you open some windows, the whole thing will become messy and inconsistent. So for a long time, according to the Queen’s orders, Buckingham Palace only opened its windows during certain hours of the day.

3. The Queen likes spherical ice cubes

Unlike most people who drink cube-shaped ice cubes (or some other distorted shape), Queen Elizabeth II only likes spherical ice cubes, because the sound of it hitting the cup is “pleasant.” more melodious!

Wales Online once made a hypothesis that it was Prince Philip who invented the spherical ice machine for his wife – Queen Elizabeth.

4. In the Queen’s handbag there is always a small hanger

She will attach it to the edge of the table when sitting, and use it to… hang her handbag! Whenever she wants to leave, the Queen will silently order the person next to her by placing her handbag on the floor! If she still hangs the bag on the hook, it means she feels comfortable and wants to stay a little longer.

5. The Queen does not like men with shaggy beards

The Queen doesn’t like Prince Harry having a beard!

Therefore, everyone close to her in the British Royal family must have neat beards and hair, except for her “darling” – Prince Harry. However, Celebuzz said that the Queen has repeatedly asked Harry to change this habit.

6. Each Queen’s outfit is coded

Someone will number each outfit the Queen has worn, carefully recording it in books: when and where she wore it. This ensures that the Queen never wears the same outfit more than once, or wears the same color scheme two times in a row.

7. The Queen hates eating soup

The reason for this is unknown. Of course, soup is still served at Buckingham Palace, but when the Queen dines in private it is never allowed.

8. The Queen loves raspberries but only uses them inside the palace

Because the seeds of raspberries stick to your teeth very easily! And this fruit is also banned at solemn receptions of the British Royal Family. Meanwhile, cucumbers and tomatoes are allowed to be served at parties but the seeds must be removed first!

9. The Queen has someone who specializes in… trying on new shoes!

Even though the Queen always favors a single shoe brand, newly made shoes still feel a bit uncomfortable. Therefore, there is a person who specializes in wearing new shoes before they are officially used by Queen Elizabeth.
