The British Royal Family has been working with a lot of royal aides and staff inside their respective palaces. But, for Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles, they have been revealed to work much closer to their royal staff. Several individuals claimed that the two senior royals are very "kind" employers to their aides and teams.
In an interview with Us Weekly, a former royal butler to the royal couple shared what it was like to work closely with the future King of England and his wife. Based on assertions, it was noted that they were nothing alike to what most people think about them behind closed doors.
The former royal butler, Grant Harrold, who is now a British etiquette expert stated in his interview that he worked for Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles from 2004 to 2011. While he also served as a butler to Prince William and Prince Harry, it was the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall who he used to serve much more on a daily basis.
In his statements, he said that, in the seven years inside of his service as a royal butler, he has nothing but "fond memories" of the Heir Apparent and his wife. As revealed, he described the royal couple as "kind" and "passionate employers."
Grant Harrold continued to share that the senior royals have a "great sense of humor," especially Prince Charles. He even cited some instances when they all had good laughs during service.
As per the former royal butler's claims, there was a time during his first year inside the palace when he did not know what to do. Upon facing the Prince of Wales and his wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles, he said that he panicked, "bumped" into the royals, and eventually "dived" into a cupboard all because he was so worried facing them.
While it was an embarrassing interaction, he stated that it was one of his "humorous" moments with the royal couple. As it happened, they had a "good laugh" about it as Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles found it "hysterical."
As per Daily Mail, Grant Harrold is now an etiquette expert who runs a "household consultancy company." The publication also said that the former royal butler regularly makes television appearances, given all the knowledge that he has after working closely with the British Royal Family.
Aside from his revelations about Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles' characters as employers, he also reportedly "warned" the Sussex couple for their decision to quit the royal life. He stated that they should be very "careful" now more than ever.
