Paul Burrell, the former butler to Princess Diana, has spoken about Prince Charlesโ€™ very specific morning routine. 

โ€˜His pyjamas are pressed every morning, his shoe laces 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,โ€™ Paul said, speaking during Amazon Primeโ€™s documentary Serving the Royals: Inside the Firm.

He then went onto explain the Princeโ€™s most bizarre morning request.

Mr Burrell claims Charles, 69, โ€˜has his valets squeeze one inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush every morning.โ€™

Itโ€™s not the first time Charlesโ€™ diva behaviour has come under the spotlight. In the unauthorised Tom Bowersโ€™ biography Rebel Prince, he claimed that Charles has more than 120 staff โ€“ include three footmen to escort visitors to his office, โ€˜each responsible for a short segment of corridorโ€™.

He also revealed the Prince of Wales brings his own toilet seat with him when he goes overseas and changes his outfit five times a day. 

But when asked about the toilet seat claim by Aussie radio show Hit105 in April, Charles hit back at the allegations, โ€˜Oh donโ€™t believe all that crap. The very idea.โ€™
