<\/p>\nThe life of the British royals is nothing less than extravagant. With all that money and assets they own, this doesn\u2019t 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\u2019 \u2018shocking\u2019 demands which lead to his wife, Queen Camilla, get furious at times.<\/p>\n
At the time being, the royal family receives around \u00a386 million annually from taxpayers, a sum which is to increase to \u00a3125 million in 2015 because of the new government plan.
\nThe sovereign grant, or the monarchy\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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,\u201d the Guardian wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the government, this change would mean that plenty of the money will go to public services.
\nHowever, not everyone is happy this change. Graham Smith, chief executive of the anti-monarchy group Republic, now accuses the UK government of \u201cappalling dishonesty.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe palace and government are guilty of appalling dishonesty, trying to spin an expected huge funding increase as a cut,\u201d Smith told Yahoo. \u201cHow can we add tens of millions of pounds to Charles\u2019 budget when we\u2019re told there must be a cap on child support when schools are struggling to make ends meet?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen nurses are fighting for a decent pay rise, Charles digs his hands deeper into our pockets,\u201d he added. \u201cHe should hang his head in shame at this grab for money and the dishonesty of suggesting it\u2019s a cut.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.
\nIn October, a royal source shared with the Mirror: \u201cThe King and his family are keen to hit the ground running in these crucial first few months and years of his reign.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Having an estimated net worth of around \u00a3478 million, it\u2019s not surprising that King Charles enjoys a life of luxury, and this isn\u2019t only true when it comes to his plenty of homes, but when he\u2019s travelling, too.<\/p>\n
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.
\nAs revealed by Diana\u2019s former butler Paul Burrell, Charles had \u201ceverything done for him\u2026\u201d
\n\u201cHis 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,\u201d Burrell said, adding that the now-king even \u201chas his valets squeeze one inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush every morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the documentary Serving the Royals: Inside the Firm, Burrell added that the King wants his bathtub \u201conly half full\u201d and is precise about his bathing temperatures.<\/p>\n
The most outrageous claim about King Charles\u2019 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\u2019 country houses the day before his arrival, where they unload his \u201cbed, furniture and even pictures.\u201d
\nIt included his orthopedic bed, Kleenex Velvet lavatory paper \u2013 and even a toilet seat.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
The King and the Queen didn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
In an interview with an Australian radio station in 2018, Charles said, \u201cMy own what? Oh, don\u2019t believe all that c***.\u201d<\/p>\n
Camilla responded in a similar manner.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo he doesn\u2019t carry his own toilet seat when he travels?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you believe that!\u201d Charles replied.<\/p>\n
According to royal experts, the King needs to be worried about other, more significant issues the monarchy is facing.
\n\u201cThe Royal family as we know it is on the brink of collapse and risks abolishing itself by stealth if the King doesn\u2019t take steps to boost visits that have fallen radically over the last decade,\u201d the Civitas report\u2019s author, Frank Young, said, as quoted in the Express.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough 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\u2026. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Charles is interested in the ides of \u2018slimmed down\u2019 monarchy, he needs to be aware that the number of working royals is too low and he has been urged to appoint more \u201cworking royals\u201d who can meet people across the country.
\n\u201cThe King\u2019s ambition might be misplaced and potentially misjudges the true public mood,\u201d he said, Young said, as quoted by Express, suggesting that Princess Beatrice, as well as Princess Anne\u2019s daughter, Zara Tindall, should become full-time working royals.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore people want the monarchy to remain unchanged than reflect changes in British life,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
