Prince Charles snaps at Aussie reporter’s stupid question

Prince Charles has curtly told a reporter to not “believe all that crap” after he asked the future King of England about his toilet habits.

It was widely reported this week that a new biography Rebel Prince: The Power, Passion And Defiance Of Prince Charles has claimed the Prince has a very particular set of items he needs when travelling, including “his orthopaedic bed, personal toilet seat, Kleenex Premium Comfort toilet paper, fresh linen a chest of drawers and two landscapes of the Scottish Highlands.”

With Prince Charles and Camilla in Australia to open the Commonwealth Games, Hit105 reporter Jase, from Stav, Abby and Matt’s breakfast radio show, decided to ask Charles himself.

Dispensing with formalities, Jase asks: “Hello Charles. Is it true that you carry your own toilet seat when you travel?”

Recorded on the fly as the prince performed royal duties, he retorts: “I, what?”

“Your own toilet seat, when you trav-” Jase replies.

Not seemingly very pleased, Prince Charles simply says: “Oh, DON’T believe all that CRAP. The VERY IDEA.”

The brief interview is over but Jase perseveres as he turns to the Duchess of Cornwall: “Hi Camilla. So, he doesn’t carry his own toilet seat when he travels?”

Her non-response is all the answer we need.
