Ironed flat shoelaces

It is said that King Charles wants his shoelaces to be ironed flat every morning which is a rather unusual demand.

Carrying own toilet seat and ‘velvet’ toilet paper

Quoting Tina Brown’s book ‘The Palace Papers’, the New York Post reported that King Charles not only carries his toilet seat but also Kleenex Velvet toilet paper with himself while travelling.

 Taking furniture to friends’ houses

King Charles surely doesn’t travel light as he carries his orthopaedic bed and other types of furniture with him while visiting the country houses of his friends.

Squeezing ‘an inch’ of toothpaste on brush

The King’s valets every morning squeeze exactly ‘an inch’ of toothpaste on his brush.

Specific temperature of cheese and biscuits

The royal staff carries a warming tray with them to ensure that the meals served to the king are of the specific temperature he likes, particularly cheese and biscuits.

Right-kind of hard-boiled egg

Multiple eggs are hard-boiled by the royal staff every morning so that the ones which fit King Charles’ definition of the perfect kind of ‘hard-boiled’ eggs reach his table.

Travelling with a complete bedroom set

Not just the furniture, the king carries his complete bedroom set along with himself, which includes pictures hanging on the wall, wherever he travels.

Breakfast box

While travelling, King Charles carries with him a breakfast box that contains six different types of muesli, honey and dried fruit.

Paintings to accompany

Two Scottish landscapes also accompany King Charles along with the bed, lavatory paper and toilet seat when he travels.
