Well, it's just practical. Prince Philip's cousin, Lady Pamela, explained in Sally's biography: “In England, the upper class always have had separate bedrooms. You don't want to be bothered with snoring or someone flinging a leg around. Then when you are feeling cozy you share your room sometimes.
It has been reported that the Queen and Prince Phillip didn't share a bed because of a tradition followed by the upper classes. Not only did the monarch and her husband not share a bed, but it's also believed that they each had separate bedrooms altogether.
Kate Middleton and Prince William don't often hold hands or publicly show affection. An unwritten rule saying royals must act professionally could be why they rarely engage in PDA. During rare occasions, the pair's been seen holding hands or touching each other's backs.
Rumours were circulating at the time that the two of them were in different places, with Kate ready to commit but Prince William wanting to make the most of his youth and freedom. Years later, both the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spoke out about their break up. "We were both very young", William said of his decision.
Why do the royals sleep in separate beds? Reportedly, the reason why some royals chose to sleep in different beds all comes down to an upper-class tradition which originated in Britain. According to Lady Pamela Hicks, Prince Philip's cousin, the aristocracy “always have separate bedrooms”.
The Duchess of Cambridge came in close second, however, and, in case you're wondering, her sleep routine is royally similar to the Queen's. Apparently, she heads to bed at 10.30pm each evening in order to get a good night's sleep.
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.
The now-Princess of Wales, Kate, was reduced to tears in 2006 by her then-boyfriend as a result of him cancelling their New Year's Eve plans at the last minute.

As most couples say, it's all about timing. "I had my military career and I really wanted to concentrate on my flying, and I couldn't have done this if I was still doing my training.
Kate first caught William's eye when she took part in a charity fashion show, wowing in a bikini and a sheer dress. The pair's friendship soon turned to romance, with William and Kate even sharing the same flat in the second year of university.
It's clear that William and Kate have very much found their place within the monarchy. “They come across as extremely genuine, open and honest. The one thing that is clear now is that they are not afraid to show the world that they are a strong couple, who are very much in love.”
While it is now common practice for both the bride and groom to give each other a ring as a sign of their eternal devotion, a royal aide explained that Prince William's decision not to wear a ring was 'simply down to personal preference'.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip did not show affection in public either. Despite their closeness (over 70 years of royal marriage!), they are never seen holding hands in public due to the "stoic values" of their generation, royal biographer Gyles Brandreth told PEOPLE.
No washing machines
Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla's clothes are not allowed to be cleaned in washing machines—everything is hand washed.
"But that day, it is Elizabeth who bowed her head as a sign of respect for the passage of Diana's coffin, the woman who wore more than anyone else had defied the conventions of the palace."
The role is not typically paid, and it has been reported that Lady Hussey was not given a salary during her time in the position, instead serving the Queen out of loyalty. The Queen had at least five ladies in waiting during her reign, including Lady Hussey.
Rose Farquhar
Farquhar is said to have been William's first love. Though not much reporting exists surrounding the scope of her relationship with the prince, she and William have since maintained a close friendship.
Now the oldest child in herit the throne regardless of being a daughter or a son. This means that if William and Kate had had a daughter she would have inherited the throne even if she had a younger brother.
According to Cosmopolitan, he dated Rose Farquhar, Davina Duckworth-Chad, Jecca Craig, Arabella Musgrave, Carly Massy-Birch and Olivia Hunt, while he was also linked with Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe and Anna Sloan even if it's less certain that they ever actually dated.

The spat began when Duchess Kate complained the dress for her daughter, Princess Charlotte, was “too big, too long, too baggy,” according to texts Harry reportedly quotes in “Spare,” released Tuesday. “She cried when she tried it on at home,” Middleton allegedly texted Markle.
Yet one of the interesting things that piqued my interest was that Kate wanted the traditional vows changed. Apparently, she did not want to vow to “love, honor, and obey” her husband; rather, she vowed to “love and cherish” her husband.
"Toilet"
If you're looking for a restroom in Buckingham Palace, ask for the loo or the lavatory.
Queens had their own intimate ladies, and the office lapsed under Mary and Elizabeth I. So the last Groom of the Stool in the strict sense was possibly Sir Michael Stanhope, who served Edward VI.
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.
