King Charles dubbed ‘blankets kind of guy’ for bedtime eccentricities Revealed by Queen Camilla’s Sister
King Charles’ unique bedtime preferences have been unveiled by Queen Camilla’s sister, Annabel Elliot. His Majesty, known for his particular tastes, has distinct sleeping habits as well. In a recent episode of A Right Royal Podcast by HELLO!, royal editor Emily Nash discussed King Charles’ aversion to duvets. “[Annabel Elliot] did once reveal in an interview that he doesn’t like duvets,” Nash shared.
She then speculated, “I’m assuming he’s a traditional sheets and blankets kind of guy.” Nash elaborated on the traditional aspect, stating, “That’s not traditional. Traditional as in Georgian times. Traditionally they didn’t have central heating but I bet he’s not kicking up [about that].”
These revelations come as Annabel Elliot also discusses the bedtime disagreements between King Charles and Queen Camilla over window settings. In Robert Hardman’s book, “Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story,” Elliot reveals, “He will have opened [a window]. She will creep in behind and shut it. So there’s a lot of: ‘Oh, darling, you shut the window.’ ‘Yes, I have, because we’re all freezing.’ So a lot of banter goes on.”
Elliot’s anecdotes provide a charming glimpse into the nightly routines and endearing quirks of the royal couple. The playful exchanges over window settings highlight their affectionate and relatable side. King Charles’ preference for traditional sheets and blankets over modern duvets adds to his reputation as a man of classic tastes and habits.
This inside look at the private lives of King Charles and Queen Camilla reveals not just their personal preferences but also the warmth and humor that characterizes their relationship. Despite the formalities and public duties that come with their royal roles, these bedtime banters show a down-to-earth dynamic between the King and Queen Consort.
As the public gains more insight into the daily lives of the royals, such details help demystify their world, showing that even monarchs have to navigate the same domestic discussions as everyone else. The image of King Charles opting for sheets and blankets, combined with the couple’s good-natured disputes over windows, paints a picture of a household that, in many ways, isn’t so different from any other.
