Kate Middleton, Prince William Sleep In Separate Beds During 3-Day Royal Train Tour

Kate Middleton and Prince William's royal train tour is about to be over, but a report has revealed that they have been sleeping separately throughout the duration of the tour.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge embarked on a 3-day royal tour on Sunday. They did it to thank the frontliners who have been working hard during the pandemic. However, the royals have been sleeping separately during their tour. The future king and queen consort sleep in separate beds aboard the train because their suite has "his and her" single beds, People has learned.

It also includes a private bathtub and a 12-seat dining room that is complete with a Formica table. Moreover, there is a room on board for the royals to work in and a kitchen where staff can prepare their meals.

Their palace on wheels is composed of nine separate carriages. It was originally designed by Queen Victoria and was decorated using 23-carat gold paint with silks and satin to resemble Buckingham Palace. But it has been updated with a more modest design.

The nine burgundy carriages that are currently in use date back to Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee in 1977. They replaced others that had been in use since 1941.

The engagement marked Middleton's first time to ride on the Royal Train. Prince William made several trips in the past aboard the train. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle didn't wait too long to ride on the royal train because the Queen invited her to join her in an unveiling of a new bridge in Widnes, Cheshire, just weeks after her royal wedding to Prince Harry.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's three-day royal tour began on Sunday and will culminate on Tuesday. The royal train will make a number of stops in England, Scotland and Wales. Their royal tour aims to pay tribute to those who "have gone above and beyond to support communities during this challenging year for the nation.”

"Catherine and I felt it was extremely important to visit just some of the heroes that have emerged this year to thank you for all that you have done," Prince William said of their royal train tour.
