Now that August is in full swing, it’s time for the Royal Family to enjoy their annual summer break on the Balmoral estate, and for King Charles, that means a lot of packing (for his staff) to do. The King recently kicked off his Scottish holiday with a visit to the Queen Mother’s former home, the Castle of Mey, before heading to Balmoral, where he’ll stay throughout August and September. There’s a huge amount of preparation for such a long visit, as The King’s former Highgrove House butler, Grant Harrold, shares—but one rumored item apparently doesn’t make the packing list.
Speaking on behalf of Betway, Harrold shared that the royals “tend to pack for every eventuality,” but bathroom circumstances aren’t one of them. Although it’s long been said that King Charles brings his own special toilet seat on vacation, the former palace staffer debunked that claim.
