Europa Press Charles III gives the order Buckingham Palace least expected: it's now official
The British monarch makes a sudden change of course that leaves the Palace speechless
A true crisis has erupted at Buckingham Palace, forcing King Charles III to act quickly. Despite continuing his treatment for cancer diagnosed at the beginning of 2024, the monarch hasn't stopped overseeing important matters of the royal residence. This time, his attention focused on a serious structural problem that could have caused million-dollar damages.
A problem that went unnoticed for years
A former cleaning employee, Anne Simmons, revealed in an interview that Buckingham faced constant blockages in its pipes. The source of the problem was wet wipes, even those considered biodegradable, which for years caused damage to the palace's plumbing. A technical report commissioned by the king confirmed that the problem wasn't isolated but a consequence of poor maintenance and improper use.
Bans to protect the palace
To stop the damage, Charles III strictly banned the use of wet wipes inside the palace. This measure is part of a larger plan that seeks to balance respect for tradition with sustainability and the care of the building. Although the king has always shown ecological commitment, this revelation shows a little-known side of the palace's internal management.
More changes in the palace environment
The interview also highlighted another surprise: the ban on scented candles in enclosed spaces. Charles III believes that the particles they emit deteriorate air quality and decided to eliminate them to keep the palace environment clean and protect everyone's health. This meticulous care reflects his governing style, focused on the smallest details.
King's routines and demands
The king's strict routines don't end there; it has been leaked that Charles III is meticulous and demanding in his requirements. The monarch has demanded that his butlers place exactly 1 in. (2.5 cm) of toothpaste on his brush every morning. Additionally, he also demands that his pajamas are always ironed and that his shoelaces are perfectly arranged.
A bath with protocols
Every morning, Charles III takes a bath with a carefully regulated temperature. The towel must be placed on a specific chair to facilitate effortless drying. No detail is left to chance in the monarch's daily life.
A monarchy in difficult times
The British royal family is going through complex times with scandals, illnesses, and internal tensions. In this context, Charles III wants to make a difference by taking care of even the invisible. His goal is to preserve the image and stability of Buckingham, preventing negligence from putting at risk one of the most important symbols of the British crown.
