[A] royal expert has claimed that sleeping in separate bedrooms has done wonders for King Charles and Queen Camilla

Is this not, has it not ever been, par for the monarchical course? Has one not visited various royal palaces and seen the separate - in some cases, significantly distant - bedchambers of Monarch and Consort?

In Laurence Housman's play about Queen Victoria (might have been a play sequence?), she is depicted going to Albert's bedchamber and demanding to be let in as the Queen of England, but he doesn't open up until she says 'it is your wife, Albert'.

And in other, do they no nuffink (I see the photo caption gets it right!) journo here refers to Salvation Army 'church' - in keeping with the godly military motif, they were called 'citadels'. Though he appears pretty ignorant about the Sally Army generally, no?

And further to error spotted in book I am trying to review, I checked their reference (no page cite shock horror) and find this was a point at which normally extremly reliable historian nodded and confused organisation names (am not only a syph nerd, have personally catalogued relevant archives).

I am also currently fuming at the bibliography more generally for not separating primary & secondary sources.
