King Charles III had no idea what cling film was and “shrieked” the first time he saw it, an author has claimed in an unauthorised biography which detailed a selection of interesting stories about our new monarch.

Author Tom Bower said he interviewed over 120 people for his biography of Charles, entitled ‘Rebel Prince’.

The book delves into Charles’s struggles to overcome unpopularity, and includes some pretty unexpected tales along the way.

Explaining how the royal reportedly had his first encounter with cling film, Bower wrote: “He walked into the dining room and shrieked. Fearing the worst, Camilla dashed in after him. ‘What’s this?’ asked her husband, pointing at the food.

“’It’s cling film, darling,’ she replied.”

I’ve been thinking about your answer… I’m not a Republican simply because I don’t think yet another politician and election would help - so I’m kind of a monarchist by accident I suppose. You mentioned chipping away at their power - we started that process in the early 1200’s (ce) with the Magna Carta. Surely we must be nearly done by now? I know things take a while on the UK; but that wait seems ridiculous.
