King Charles's former employee reveals exactly what he's like behind closed doors

King Charles III is "absolutely not a monster in the office", reveals a former royal employee.

The 75-year-old, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, has a host of staff working for him - each one given tasks to help with the running of the royal households.

Speaking of the King, an unnamed employee previously shared exactly what it is like to work for the monarch and Queen Camilla.

The former employee told the Daily Beast: "Ultimately, people like working for him, but everyone is under a lot of pressure, because his office is incredibly busy.

"He’s absolutely not a monster in the office, but he is human, and he snaps sometimes. Unfortunately there is sometimes a camera on him when it happens."

They added that the King is "extremely well prepared" as an employer, and someone who is known to not "suffer fools".

They added: "In fairness to him, as anyone who has actually worked with him will tell you, he himself is always extremely well prepared, well-read on the subject matter of people he meets and is working with, diligent and respectful of expertise."

King Charles became monarch in September 2022, following the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

As previously reported by the Mirror, the Prince of Wales website stated that King Charles employed 116 official staff before he ascended the throne.

King Charles has 28 members of household staff, which includes four chefs and five house managers.

He reportedly has three valets and dressers and a couple of butlers, all of which help with the running of the royal household.

Prior to her passing in 2022, the late Queen had employed 491 full-time members of staff.
