Working for the British royal family is a privilege few experience – but what's it really like behind the gilded doors of Buckingham Palace? A former staff member who worked closely with King Charles has revealed fascinating details about the monarch's daily routine, management style, and unexpected personal quirks.
The Early Riser
"His Majesty is famously disciplined," the insider shared. "He starts his day before dawn, often reviewing correspondence by 5:30 AM. The palace never sleeps when the King's awake."
Eco-Conscious to the Core
Charles's environmental passion isn't just for show. "He'd reprimand staff for leaving lights on," the source revealed. "Even official documents get printed on recycled paper – double-sided, of course."
Unexpected Tech Savvy
Contrary to royal stereotypes, Charles embraces modern technology. "He's surprisingly adept with tablets and video calls," the former employee noted. "Though he still prefers fountain pens for personal notes."
The Human Side of Majesty
Behind the formality, moments of warmth shine through. "He remembers staff birthdays and asks after family members," the insider shared. "But cross him on protocol, and you'll see why they call it the 'royal' glare."
