King Charles “travels with his childhood teddy bear,” it has been claimed.
The 73-year-old monarch is still so attached to his old toy he won’t let anyone else try to fix it when the cuddly creature gets damaged due to wear and tear apart from his old nanny, biographer Christopher Andersen has claimed.
Christopher – who will release new book ‘The King’ later this month – said: “He still travels with a childhood teddy bear. He’s had it since he was a very small child… The only person who’s been allowed to mend King Charles’ teddy bear is his childhood nanny, Mabel Anderson, who he remains very close to.”
The author claimed the king also always travels with a special ice tray because of a “quirk” he shares with other members of the royal family.
He told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I think one of the funniest quirks — a number of royals have this, the queen had it as well — they don’t like square ice cubes.
“They carry around ice cube trays, have them brought with them wherever they go, because they don’t like the clinking sound that square cubes make.”
According to Christopher, Charles “travels with a custom-made toilet seat” and, people told him the monarch prefers meals cooked by his own chef, no matter where he is, though he claimed the king has denied this.
He said: “People who work in the palace, people who have worked for him, say that… when he goes to dinner parties at other people’s homes he often brings his own chef, so they can prepare a meal for him that he’ll eat separately at the table.
“He wants what he wants when he wants it.”
After taking the throne in September following the death of Queen Elizabeth, the author predicted the new king will be ready to make “some bold moves”.
He said: “He’s been waiting for 70 years to take this job. That’s longer than any previous monarch… He’s already taken some moves to slim down the monarchy a bit… He just sold 15 of his mother’s cherished race horses… There will be other cutbacks. They will be looking and touring some of the palaces and museums…
“If the monarchy survives and flourishes, it will be because of Charles. If it doesn’t, it will be because of Charles. Everything hinges on what King Charles III becomes.”
There’s a reason QE II held onto the throne with a death-grip.
What a pompous a$$.
Good to know.
Does he bring his Binky with him too?
I have a stuffed dog I have had since 1955...my husband has Tonka trunks since then...
The 73 year old monarch is a weather moron.
I believe this.
As long as he doesn’t wipe his butt with the favorite teddy bear, I don’t see the problem. It’s good to be king.
This story is out of Toronto. That’s where Meghan is from. This is all baloney.
The Queen didn’t travel with her own toilet seat... But rumour has it that after she stayed at a hotel or lodging, the toilet she used while staying there needed to be removed, destroyed and replaced with a new one. This likely became customary after DNA analysis started to be a thing.
It sounds odd but it makes sense. You wouldn’t want somebody out there replicating royal DNA or determining that the current residents may not be entitled to their positions through DNA analysis.
Their German ancestry would likely be dominate any DNA analysis... Leaving one to wonder why they hold their Royal positions in the first place. I’ve done my DNA analysis and there isn’t one ounce of Limey in me... 50% Irish... 47% Scottish... 3% Viking.
The question would be... Is there any percentage of Limey in their DNA? And if not, or even if there is only a small amount... Why are they the Royals?
Di brought a lot of English into the family. Liz’s mom was also English and Scottish. For the most part, though, royals had to marry other royals, and that makes the royal family mostly German and Danish in ancestry. Phil’s “Greek” ancestry is also Danish and German. Rulers married royals from other countries to create alliances and also in order to not favor one English family over another.
Try reading history.
Cleopatra was Greek.
Stuff happens
Throne by Koehler.
ai understand that too.
But the toilet seat fetish sounds rather kinky to me.
A champagne bidet?
Rabbit’s for had intrinsic value to the rabbit. Who knows, they might make them of polyester now.
I had a beloved stuffed giraffe about 9 inches high that my mother threw out when I was six because I was “too old” for it. Mommy Dearest. King Chuck had far more sensitive nannies. His own toilet seat is fine with me and probably his own TP.
I salute your panda bear!
Yup... But nobody told the Egyptians that and if the English found out that their King or Queen had no English blood, because let’s face it... DNA doesn’t lie... That would be game changer for the Royals.
Which of the British tribes are you talking about?
Of course the Egyptians knew.
