King Charles's bizarre morning routine including outrageous shoelace request



King Charles has a very particular morning routine, according to reports, with one request to his staff which will likely sound very bizarre to a normal Brit.

According to Princess Diana's former royal butler Paul Burrell, the King has "everything done for him".

On the documentary, he said: "His pyjamas are pressed every morning, his shoelaces are pressed flat with an iron, the bath plug has to be in a certain position, and the water temperature has to be just tepid."

Mr Burrell added that the-then Prince Charles even "has his valets squeeze one inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush every morning."


As well as the water temperature in his bath, the former butler said that the King also requests the bath to be "only half full".

The monarch also has a few dietary requests, with him opting for a very healthy breakfast.

Chef Graham Newbould, a former member of the royal staff, previously said: "Prince Charles has a healthier option. He'd have homemade bread, a bowl of fresh fruit, fresh fruit juices."

According to Mr Newbould, the King also reportedly takes his luxury "breakfast box" with him wherever he goes.

He added: "He has six different types of honey, some special mueslis, his dried fruit and anything that’s a bit special that he is a bit fussy about."

According the the Amazon Prime documentary, the monarch previously earned himself the title of 'Pampered Prince' among staff at his residence of Clarence House.

The demands also do not end at home - with the monarch also having strict travel demands too.
It has previously been reported that he takes his own toilet seat and loo roll on trips.


Journalist Tina Brown, who was good friends with Princess Diana, wrote in her book The Palace Papers that the King allegedly sends a van of his possessions to his friends' country houses the day before he's due to stay to unload his "bed, furniture and even pictures".

This includes his orthopaedic bed, lavatory seat and Kleenex Velvet lavatory paper.
