Camilla Parker Bowles Finds Prince Charles 'Worst' Person To Buy This For
Camilla Parker Bowles finds Prince Charles the worst person to buy presents.
The Duchess of Cornwall recently revealed that she struggles to pick the perfect gift to her husband. In fact, Camilla has not yet bought a present for the Prince of Wales' 70th birthday.
"People keep asking me if I have brought him a present and I haven’t. He is the worst person," Camilla said (as quoted by Express). "He has a list (containing porcelain and items for the garden) and I’ve learnt through 13 years of being married that it is better to stick to the list."
"He has a lot of things, but he knows what he likes and if you give him a present, he says, ‘Oh that’s lovely,’ when he doesn’t think it’s lovely at all," she continued.
Prince Charles will be celebrating his natal day on Wednesday. Prior to the future king's special day, Camilla already paid a tribute to him on BBC's documentary "Prince Son, and Heir: Charles at 70."
In the documentary, the Duchess of Cornwall highlighted Prince Charles' personality that most don't know. According to her, the heir to the throne is very kind.
"A lot of people, seeing my husband actually take the Bride’s mother by the hand to sign the registry, it’s something that moved everybody," Camilla said about Prince Charles during Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding. "It's the things he does behind the scenes that people don’t know about. I don't think people realise quite how kind he is."
Camilla also told filmmaker John Birdcut's crew that she wished people would see the prince's funny side.
"He's a very exceptional man. They see him as a very serious person, which he is," the duchess added. "But I would like a lot of people to see the lighter side of him."
In related news, Prince Charles was dubbed as the "pampered prince." He reportedly asked his staff to do even the simplest task that he can do for himself.
For instance, he reportedly asked his valet to squeeze once inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush every morning. One time, he also asked Paul Burrell to pick a letter from the Queen that fell in his wastepaper bin.
"Grown up in such a privileged lifestyle, he doesn't have the mechanics to choose for himself anymore," Burrell explained. "Everything is done for him."
