There should be no bathroom breaks, since it's not considered proper to leave a dining table at which royals are seated.
The monarch isn't a fan of a deep bath either, she is said to bathe in “no more than seven inches of water”, according to royal author Brian Hoey for the Daily Mail. Seven inches is equivalent to 17.8 centimetres.
Leave the table without a fuss. If royals need to use the restroom during a meal, they don't announce their intentions. They simply say, “Excuse me,” and leave it at that. If they're not done eating, they cross the utensils so wait staff know not to take the plate.
A royal must never 'announce their intentions' when they leave the table to go to the toilet at a dinner party. Instead, they must simply say "excuse me" and leave, according to Business Insider. If they haven't finished eating their meal when they get up, they must also cross their knife and fork.
"Toilet"
If you're looking for a restroom in Buckingham Palace, ask for the loo or the lavatory.
In fact, the toilet paper company was granted “Royal Warrant” in 1978 according to its website.

It then jokes: "Good choice Ma'am.”

Can you imagine Her Majesty with yellow dishwashing gloves on? At her former primary residence, Buckingham Palace, and at her current home, Windsor Castle, the Queen has a staff on hand to take care of most of the chores we non-royals dread: The laundry. Vacuuming. Washing the dishes after a meal.

HELLO's royal reporter Emily Nash explains: "Whenever possible, William and Kate time their engagements to allow them to take their children to school and put them to bed, even on tours."
And as to putting one's clothes on, contrary to popular belief the Queen actually dressed alone. The monarch also did her own make-up for most events, with the exception of her annual Christmas speech, for which a make-up artist was employed.
Royal women like Meghan and Kate often keep things casual at official events, wearing affordable brands and easy-to-wear styles, and that includes blue jeans. Here, 20 times royals have worn denim, from Prince Philip and Princess Alexandra in the 1950s to Meghan and Kate today. The Queen isn't one to wear denim.
Alex Parren told Express.co.uk: "As a Royal, Kate would have access to high quality, fresh, organic foods and this would be one reason she is able to stay so slim. "Avoiding ultra-processed foods and nourishing the body with fruits and vegetables that are as fresh as possible is one of the best ways to stay healthy.
And now we've discovered another rule the royals have to follow - and it's all to do with their bedtimes. According to Sir William Heseltine, one of Queen's private secretaries, when staying with Her Majesty, members of the royal family should wait until the Queen retires to bed before they also hit the hay.
These days, the brand no longer maintains a monopoly, but it retains a royal tie. Royal residences reportedly keep Yardley soaps on-hand, and per Marie Claire, private guests to Windsor Castle are given Yardley products, too.

Kate is often loaned items by designers which she will then return. Meghan, before becoming an official royal, had been essentially dressed herself these last few months, the duchess adopting a similar approach to filling her royal wardrobe as her sister-in-law following her wedding.
In 2020, a former royal chef revealed his recipe for Kate's favourite dessert, a sticky toffee pudding.
