A new book hits the British monarchy and leaves Carlos and Guillermo for the soils: “Irritable and capricious”

Royalty expert Tom Quinn is about to bring his latest book to market, Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servantsa compilation of the best saved secrets of Buckingham Palace counted by the Windsor employees themselves. Assistants, chefs and butlers who narrate what is day to day with one of the most emblematic real families in history. They do not go well stopped: “King Carlos III is irritable and demanding.”

The book describes the monarch as a man of “bad character” and accustomed to “give orders.” “King Carlos once confessed to a member of his staff who, if you grow up with people who do everything for you, invades you a permanent horror mentality that, if you had to do it yourself, you would be completely lost. He said: ‘ It is the only benefit of being prince of Wales (as Carlos was at that time) 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, “the text collects. He also speaks of strict routines in the life of Carlos III: “You have to shout the shoes, leave the out -of -the -handed costumes and choose the ties the previous day. In addition, the bathrooms must be made exactly at the same time every day.”

A capricious, perfectionist and grid character that, according to former Buckingham employees, has inherited his son, Guillermo of England: “It fits very easily, especially if things are not done as they like. They both irritate themselves very fast.”

In the same line describe Prince Andrés: “Andrés always behaved as if he were frustrated for not being the firstborn and, therefore, destined to become king. This frustration made him a bit abusive in private.” They even report some anecdotes of the former Sarah Ferguson, as he fired an employee because “he did not support a mole on his face” or another for carrying “a nylon tie.” They do not keep a good memory of him: “He acted as a classic school thug. He could not resist being imperative, mandon and of bad character if something went wrong or was not done exactly as he liked.”

Harry and Meghan, the most beloved

The image of Carlos, Andrés and Guillermo contrasts with which it is offered from the Prince Harry y Meghan Marklemuch friendlier: “It is one of the most pleasant and easy types to treat,” they say about the prince. “She was a modernizing by nature. He was someone who wanted to do things and change the status quo. In fact, it was very good to persuade some staff members, even the youngest, so that they put themselves on their side.”

They do admit, however, that the actress arrived in Palacio with her own norms and little desire to learn or adapt: ​​”He was so sure of herself that she noticed that she wanted to direct things instead of learning about the royal family.” And they add: “She firmly believed in grabbing the bull by the horns, except that the royal family is not really a bull.”
