A new, unauthorised biography about Prince Charles has been released.
In the book, 'Rebel Prince: The Power, Passion and Defiance of Prince Charles', author Tom Bower discusses everything from the relationship between Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles, his sons Prince William and Prince Harry, to the relationship between Charles and his parents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
However, it also reveals a couple of really STRANGE facts about the Prince...
- He doesn’t know what cling wrap is: Or he didn’t until Camilla heard him shriek in shock upon encountering cold meats under cling wrap after having asked staff to leave food out for him to snack on later.
- He once boasted about using the ‘tube’: In a bid to seem down with the kids.
- He takes his bedroom furniture everywhere he goes: His staff pack his orthopedic bed, fresh linen, radio, a chest of drawers, his personal toilet seat, rolls of Kleenex Premium Comfort toilet paper and two landscapes of the Scottish Highlands for when he travels.
- He changes his clothes five times a day: Well, UP TO five times a day. With the help of four valets. Oh, and of his 124 members of staff, a butler, two valets, a private secretary, typist, chef and handful of bodyguards join him whenever he leaves one of his six residences.
- He has expensive taste: he refuses to travel without his private plane or helicopter and can easily spend a small fortune on day trips. In 2006, he reportedly used the royal train to travel to Penrith (at a cost of US$27,000) just to visit a pub... We wonder if he took his toilet seat too?!
