Facts Proving That Even the Queen Has Weird Habits

She prohibits open windows

He managed to get employed as a servant in the palace using forged documents which gave him the opportunity to write a series of articles about the royal family’s private life. This ended in court in 2003 when the Daily Mirror was accused of violating the privacy of the royal family.
