In a world saturated with velvet robes, towering castles, and the intoxicating scent of power, the daily cleanliness rituals of royalty have painted a unique picture of hygiene throughout history. Behind the gilded throne rooms and under the jeweled crowns, existed a paradoxical universe where the refinement of manners met the crudity of personal care, where sparkling jewels often masked the reality of unwashed bodies, and the intoxicating perfumes veiled the absence of modern hygiene. From Genghis Khan enjoying a nice warm hot spring bath to Louis XIV only taking 3 baths in his lifetime, the captivating tale of royal hygiene reveals a fascinating, sometimes shocking, juxtaposition of luxury and squalor that shaped the lives of those who wore the crown.
