King Charles had a teddy bear doll that was very old, with a broken arm, open threads, and holes all over his body.
However, no matter how miserable it was, Charles kept it on his mind.
Prince Harry revealed in his autobiography "Spare Tire" that when his father goes out or goes abroad, he must take this little friend with him.
Why is this so?
It all started with Charles's difficult life experience.
From 1962 to 1967 he attended a boarding school in Gordonston, Scotland.
Here, Charles was subjected to relentless bullying at school.
Once, after taking a shower, he was tied up naked, pushed into a laundry basket, and then poured cold water on him. It was winter, and Charles shivered and let out a pitiful cry.
At night, the boys in the dormitory beat him with pillows, shoes, and fists.
He was even beaten on the rugby pitch and once had his nose broken. However, he did not resist in the slightest and did not even dare to complain openly about bullying because he was afraid that complaining would make things worse.
All Charles could do was write home and complain: "It's hell here, especially at night. I can barely sleep at all right now. ”
"The people in my dorm room are disgusting. God, they're horrible, I don't know how anyone could be so disgusting. ”
Harry recounts in the book that Charles was bullied by his classmates and "almost didn't survive", relying on the teddy bear to survive.
This plush teddy bear fills the warmth and security that Charles can't get in reality, so he regards it as a soul mate.
Speaking of which, Charles is also a poor man.
The status of the prince did not allow him to survive, but aroused the fighting spirit of his classmates, because his arrival made the rules and regulations of the school stricter, and they all wanted to go out and show off in the future - I once fought the king.
Growing up, Charles did not feel the warmth of family, so he created a withdrawn and sensitive personality. He has a big nose and big ears, and he has also been disliked by his family, intentionally or unintentionally, and he has not been able to raise his head for a long time.
Such a Charles is simply a campus bully.
Today, the teddy bear is still treasured by Charles. It was shabby and old, and it looked pitiful, just like Charles looked after being bullied by those classmates.
If any of them were broken, only the old servant, Mabel Anderson, had the right to sew them up.
Every day the court servants put it on the bed and spent the night with Charles.
In addition to doll attachment, Charles has a number of strange behaviors:
The gods chattered with the plants and threatened them with words;
In order to pick up a cufflink, he smashed the sink in a rage;
Teacups and saucers must be placed on the right side of the breakfast tray, and the silver spoon is placed diagonally at five o'clock;
……
Because of various quirks, before Charles's coronation, he was questioned by the outside world for suffering from mental illness and lacking the ability to manage the country.
In fact, the root of everything lies in Charles's early psychological trauma.
