In an extract from Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants, one servant is said to recall: "Charles and Camilla do treat their staff well, but you always feel that they would no more fly without an aeroplane than invite you to have tea with them.
"And Charles does have little bursts of irritation with his staff – perhaps he hasn’t been given exactly the right teacup, perfectly polished shoes and toothpaste neatly squeezed on to his toothbrush in exactly the way he likes it.
Insiders explained that Charles and Queen Camilla always treat their staff "well", but that the King is prone to "little bursts of irritation".
King Charles is prone to "lose his temper in a split second" if his very particular demands aren't fulfilled, insiders claim in a new book.
The monarch, 76, is said to lash out over small details before instantly regretting it, the bombshell document by royal expert and journalist Tom Quinn says.
