When Charles III of England was still crown prince, he received a teddy bear doll that the public wanted him to pass on to his grandson, Prince George Jr
Charles III of England succeeded to the throne after the death of his mother Elizabeth II, and a biography about him, "The King: The Life of Charles III" (The King: The Life of Charles III), will be released on the 8th of this month, but the content reveals that at the age of 73, in his 40s, he not only sleeps but also has teddy bear puppets to accompany him, but also has a special butler to take care of him; On weekdays, he also relies on the housekeeper to help him squeeze toothpaste onto the toothbrush, really living like a giant baby.
Biographer Christopher Anderson writes in the book that when Charles III was still crown prince, there was a trusted butler, Michael Fawcett, and one of his jobs was to take care of his teddy bear, and if the teddy bear needed to be repaired, his former nanny Mabel Anderson would still be obliged to deal with it, even if she was retired, and the former nanny was the only one allowed to use needles and threads on the teddy bear. He's in his 40s, and every time his teddy bear needs to be repaired, you'll think it's like he's going to have major surgery.

The biography also mentions that the chief gardener of his Highgrove estate, every morning he receives a letter of instructions and complaints written by Charlie in red pen, and if he is not satisfied with the results of the gardener's work, he will stand on the porch and shout orders to the employees, and a former employee told the biographer: For a person who claims to have been bullied as a child, Prince Charles obviously enjoys bullying us, he can be kind and polite, but he is very emotional and mean most of the time, and if you disagree with him a little, he will not hesitate to be angry with you.
Ken Stronach, another former housekeeper who had been in charge of washing his underwear for years and helping him prepare for bedtime with teddy bears at night, also broke the news to the author that he had witnessed him arguing with Princess Diana, who was still his wife, throw her a heavy wooden shoe remover, almost dropping it on her head; Another time, when he stayed in a friend's Nanfa manor, because a cufflink accidentally fell into the bathroom sink, he was furious, removed the sink from the wall, smashed, just to find the cufflinks, but he still could not find it, so angry that he grabbed the butler's neckline with his hand, and after the housekeeper escaped, he was frightened and hid in a cupboard, and stayed for 30 minutes, until he heard that Charlie had left the bathroom.
Even when he was staying at a friend's house, he suddenly felt stuffy and wanted to breathe fresh air, just because he couldn't open the window for a while, he actually smashed the window glass with a chair, and broke 2 more. Stroner said: You must understand that the prince is used to wanting and he wants fresh air.
