The King famously champions nature whenever and wherever possible, but he reportedly doesn’t even like being in the same room as a particular animal. Rather unfortunately, his late aunt Princess Margaret apparently kick-started this "aversion" when she gifted Charles one.
In his book, Pets by Royal Appointment, royal biographer Brian Hoey previously claimed that Margaret gave her nephew a "kitten as a present when he was a child and he disliked it on sight". This initial reaction didn’t change, with the author adding that "since then, [the King] has developed an aversion to everything feline".
