King Charles’ shocking demand when traveling revealed by royal expert

The life of the British royals is nothing less than extravagant. With all that money and assets they own, this doesn’t come as a surprise. But have you ever wondered what sort of demands they have while traveling and visiting places? If yes, we will reveal some of King Charles’ ‘shocking’ demands which lead to his wife, Queen Camilla, get furious at times.

At the time being, the royal family receives around £86 million annually from taxpayers, a sum which is to increase to £125 million in 2015 because of the new government plan.
The sovereign grant, or the monarchy’s annual budget, is always matched against the profits from the crown estate. However, it appears that some things were not getting the much-deserved attention.

“The review of the royal funding settlement was heavily spun by the Treasury to give the impression that the king would be taking a pay cut so that crown estate funds could instead be spent on public services,” the Guardian wrote.

“In fact, the report reveals the monarchy is due to receive a huge pay increase, although the rise will not kick in for another two years.”

According to the government, this change would mean that plenty of the money will go to public services.
However, not everyone is happy this change. Graham Smith, chief executive of the anti-monarchy group Republic, now accuses the UK government of “appalling dishonesty.”

“The palace and government are guilty of appalling dishonesty, trying to spin an expected huge funding increase as a cut,” Smith told Yahoo. “How can we add tens of millions of pounds to Charles’ budget when we’re told there must be a cap on child support when schools are struggling to make ends meet?

“When nurses are fighting for a decent pay rise, Charles digs his hands deeper into our pockets,” he added. “He should hang his head in shame at this grab for money and the dishonesty of suggesting it’s a cut.”

The King and the Queen are busy planning the number of trips around the world, thus prioritizing Australia, New Zealand, and several Commonwealth realms in the Caribbean.
In October, a royal source shared with the Mirror: “The King and his family are keen to hit the ground running in these crucial first few months and years of his reign.”

“He certainly wants to carry on the long-held mantra from his late mother of being seen to be believed and is very keen to get out and meet as many people as possible.”

Having an estimated net worth of around £478 million, it’s not surprising that King Charles enjoys a life of luxury, and this isn’t only true when it comes to his plenty of homes, but when he’s travelling, too.

Some of the staff that used to work for Charles now reveal some of his demands and what every member of his household staff, his four chefs, five house managers, three valets and dressers, and two butlers, is expected to follow specific rules.
As revealed by Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell, Charles had “everything done for him…”
“His pajamas 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,” Burrell said, adding that the now-king even “has his valets squeeze one inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush every morning.”

In the documentary Serving the Royals: Inside the Firm, Burrell added that the King wants his bathtub “only half full” and is precise about his bathing temperatures.

The most outrageous claim about King Charles’ travelling routine was made by author and royal expert Tina Brown, who spoke to 120 insiders and sources, and revealed in her book The Palace Papers that Charles allegedly sends a large van of his possessions to friends’ country houses the day before his arrival, where they unload his “bed, furniture and even pictures.”
It included his orthopedic bed, Kleenex Velvet lavatory paper – and even a toilet seat.

This isn’t the first time that someone spoke about this claim. In the past, Tom Bower wrote in his book Prince Charles, Rebel Prince: The Power, Passion, and Defiance of Prince Charles that Charles indeed does this.

The King and the Queen didn’t comment anything regarding bringing their bed when visiting other places, but the claim about the toilet seat made them angry and they decided to address it.

In an interview with an Australian radio station in 2018, Charles said, “My own what? Oh, don’t believe all that c***.”

Camilla responded in a similar manner.

“So he doesn’t carry his own toilet seat when he travels?”

“Don’t you believe that!” Charles replied.

According to royal experts, the King needs to be worried about other, more significant issues the monarchy is facing.
“The Royal family as we know it is on the brink of collapse and risks abolishing itself by stealth if the King doesn’t take steps to boost visits that have fallen radically over the last decade,” the Civitas report’s author, Frank Young, said, as quoted in the Express.

“Through death, scandal, and resignation, the Royal family is increasingly reliant on a few hard-working members, with Charles, Anne, and Edward doing almost half the work…. We now need new working royals or will have to accept a Royal Family that is more distant from the people than at any time in the past 100 years.”

As Charles is interested in the ides of ‘slimmed down’ monarchy, he needs to be aware that the number of working royals is too low and he has been urged to appoint more “working royals” who can meet people across the country.
“The King’s ambition might be misplaced and potentially misjudges the true public mood,” he said, Young said, as quoted by Express, suggesting that Princess Beatrice, as well as Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, should become full-time working royals.

“More people want the monarchy to remain unchanged than reflect changes in British life,” he concluded.

A POLICE OFFICER HELPED A LITTLE BOY TIE HIS SHOE—SECONDS LATER, EVERYONE IN THE RESTAURANT FROZE It was supposed to be just a quick lunch break. The officers sat at their table, half-eaten burgers and fries in front of them, when a little boy walked up. He wasn’t scared. He wasn’t shy. He simply lifted his foot and said, “Can you help me?” One of the officers chuckled, nodding as he knelt down to tie the boy’s untangled shoelaces. His hands moved carefully, tightening the knot as the other officers watched with amused smiles. It was such a small, innocent moment—something most people wouldn’t think twice about. And then— The restaurant door slammed open. A man rushed inside, his face pale, his voice shaking as he yelled— And in an instant, the officer shot to his feet, reaching for his radio.

HE WOULDN’T LET GO OF THE CHICKEN—AND I DIDN’T HAVE THE HEART TO TELL HIM WHY SHE WAS MISSING YESTERDAY That’s Nugget. She’s not just a chicken. She’s his chicken. Every morning before school, he runs outside barefoot—even in the cold—to find her. He talks to her like she’s a classmate, tells her about spelling tests and what he thinks clouds are made of. She follows him like a dog. Waits by the porch until he gets home. We thought it was cute at first. Then we realized it was more than that. After his mom left last year, he got quiet. Stopped smiling the way he used to. Wouldn’t even touch his pancakes, and those used to be sacred to him. But then Nugget started hanging around—this awkward puff of yellow that wandered into our yard from who-knows-where. And something clicked. He smiled again. Started eating. Sleeping. Laughing. All because of this one goofy bird. Yesterday, Nugget was gone. We searched everywhere. Coop, woods, roadside. No feathers, no tracks, nothing. He cried himself to sleep with her photo clutched in his little fist. And then this morning—there she was. Just standing in the driveway like nothing happened. A little muddy. A scratch on her beak. But alive. He scooped her up, eyes shut tight like he was afraid she might disappear again. Wouldn’t let her go. Not for breakfast, not for school, not for anything. And as I stood there watching him, I noticed something tied around her leg. A tiny red ribbon. Frayed at the edges. And a tag I hadn’t seen before. It said: ⬇️ (continue reading in the first cᴑmment)

HE WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE—BUT THEN HE HUGGED ME LIKE I WAS FAMILY I was just trying to get across 7th Street without messing up my knee again. Had my little knee scooter, the kind with the one wheel in front, you know? I was mostly focused on not tipping over and getting to the coffee shop before the lunch crowd hit. Then I heard someone shout my name—not scream it, just say it with so much heart it stopped me cold. I turned, and there he was. Nico. He’s in the special needs program at our local high school, and I’d met him a few times at community events. Sweetest soul ever. He always called me his “hero,” which felt like a lot for a guy who just played semi-pro ball before tearing his ACL. But he remembered. Every game. Every score. Every stat. But I hadn’t seen him in months. Apparently, he convinced his older sister to skip her class and drive him downtown just to “check on me,” even though he knew I wasn’t playing anymore. He had this little sign he made with glitter letters that said, “WE LOVE YOU, TYRELL.” And yeah, I lost it. Right there on the sidewalk, with cars crawling past and people trying not to stare, Nico came up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist like I was still out there making game-winning plays. I bent down, hugged him back, and for a second, everything else—my injury, my doubts, my whole messed-up season—just disappeared. Then his sister quietly said, “Nico has something to tell you,” and his voice started to shake as he looked up at me…⬇️
