“His pajamas are pressed every morning, his shoelaces are ironed flat, the bath plug has to be in a certain position, and the water temperature has to be only lukewarm,” in a bathtub “only half full.” said Burrell.
The king “makes his valets pass an inch (2.54 cm) of toothpaste on his toothbrush every morning.”

“Wherever he travels in the world the prince, the breakfast box travels with him. He has six different kinds of honey, some rare muesli, his dried fruit, and anything that’s a little special that he’s a little fussy about.”
