It has been revealed that King Charles insists on a very particular and bizarre morning routine, including a very odd shoelace request.
According to Princess Diana's former royal butler Paul Burrell, the King has "everything done for him".
The King has 28 members of personal household staff - including four chefs, five house managers, three valets and dressers, and a couple of butlers - who will work to keep him happy.
Speaking on a documentary, titled Serving the Royals: Inside the Firm, which aired on Amazon Prime, Mr Burrell claims that the royal has requested that his "shoelaces are pressed flat with an iron" by his staff members.

He'd have homemade bread, a bowl of fresh fruit, fresh fruit juices", and has his breakfast wherever he goes.
