Winston Churchill’s Bathtub Diplomacy

Winston Churchill loved his bath time so much that he often held meetings and took phone calls while soaking in his tub—completely naked. When visiting the White House, he even emerged nude in front of President Roosevelt, famously saying, “The Prime Minister of Great Britain has nothing to hide.”

Churchill believed his best thinking happened in the bath, and he wasn’t shy about mixing business with bubbles. While his contemporaries found this habit eccentric, Churchill’s unapologetic comfort in his own skin became yet another symbol of his bold and unfiltered leadership style.
