We've all had kitchen nightmares before, getting stressed while cooking a risotto and struggling to find the right utensils or serving dishes. And so, it turns out, has the new King of England, who had no idea what cling film was and 'shrieked' the first time he saw it.
Author Tom Bower wrote a book about Prince Philip, called Rebel Prince, and in it, he shared an anecdote about the late royal's son, King Charles III. As the tale goes, the then prince is said to have "shrieked" and "trembled" when first coming into contact with cling film.
According to Bower, one of Prince Philip's gripes about Charles was his disconnect with the regular world, which was never clearer than when he struggled with the cling film.
