Boring History For Sleep | The Filthy Truth Behind Royal Gossip ππ§Όπ«
About this episode
ππ€’ Royal life looked glamorous in portraits β but behind the silk, jewels, and powdered wigs were habits so disgusting they became legends. From monarchs who refused to bathe to courts crawling with disease, parasites, and truly horrifying hygiene, many royal rumors werenβt exaggerations at all β they were polite summaries.
Tonight, close your eyes and drift into candlelit palaces where gossip smelled terrible, luxury came with lice, and being royal absolutely did not mean being clean.
π Boring History For Sleep | Crowns, castles, and confirmed grossness. π€
