Privacy NoticeKing Charles reportedly has an unusual bedtime preference that might come as a surprise. Queen Camillas sister, Annabel Elliot, who has been involved in the refurbishment of Balmoral Estate and Royal residences, spilled some Royal beans in a recent publication. It was disclosed by Annabel that the King opts out of using a duvet, leading Royal commentators Emmy Griffiths and Emily Nash to speculate on his sleeping style. Discussing the tidbit on A Right Royal Podcast, Royal editor Emily mused: “[Annabel Elliot] did once reveal in an interview that he doesn’t like duvets.” Co-host Emmy queried this revelation, prompting Emily to surmise: “I’m assuming he’s a traditional sheets and blankets kind of guy.”, reports the Express.
Residences such as Windsor are said to have beds dressed with sheets not duvets

Emmy responded with some historical context: “That’s not traditional. Traditional as in Georgian times. Traditionally they didn’t have central heating but I bet he’s not kicking up [about that].” Yet Emily noted that King Charles apparently isnt one for “very heated” surroundings, said to prefer cooler temperatures in the Royal abodes. In Robert Hardman’s book detailing the Monarch’s court life, Annabel dished on a “constant battle” over room temperature between King Charles and the Queen, sharing quirky details of their domestic back-and-forth: “He will have opened [a window]. She will creep in behind and shut it. So there’s a lot of: ‘Oh, darling, you shut the window.’ ‘Yes, I have, because we’re all freezing.’ So a lot of banter goes on.”

Interior design guru Nina Campbell, who has previously worked with the Duke and Duchess of York, has spilled the beans on how Royal residences – including Windsor Castle and Balmoral – are made up. Speaking to The Telegraph, she revealed that beds should be set up with “a fitted sheet, then a flat sheet, then a light duvet [instead of a blanket], then a blanket cover”. This should be topped off with three pillows: one square, one Oxford pillow – which has an extra fabric border or flap around the edge – and a baby pillow. She added: “The square pillow is a little bit harder, and makes it possible to sit up in bed and read. I just chuck that out at night, and sleep on the Oxford, and then I tuck the baby pillow somewhere round my neck.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
