As someone who sheepishly checked into a London hotel with two suitcases, a backpack, a garment bag and four huge shopping bags on a recent trip, I can certainly relate to a heavy packer. But apparently, King Charles is the ultimate overpacker when he heads on a weekend trip. And The King doesn't just bring his own pillow or an insane amount of luggage—in true regal style, the 76-year-old monarch has actually traveled with his own furniture and other bizarre items while visiting friends.
Author Tom Bower revealed what The King brought for a visit to North East England in his book Rebel King—originally titled Rebel Prince (via the Daily Mail). King Charles is so particular about his sleeping arrangements that he "sent his staff ahead a day early with a truck carrying furniture to replace the perfectly appropriate fittings in the guest rooms," Bower wrote.
