Bit of context: Paul Burrell is a free-loading chancer who will do anything to keep his gravy train going.

If you believe his claim about the paper in the bin, I'd like to know where you stand on his claim that he's being haunted by the ghost of Princess Diana.

That being said, King* Charles is definitely living one of the most privileged lifestyles of all time.

Edit: changed it to King

Depends how you define privileged. He’s unbelievably rich. But he can’t ever relax, he has to shake hands and pretend to be interested in about a thousand people a week. And he’s never in his life been to the cinema or a restaurant or any other normal activity without it being a gigantic fan fair. And he could never ever get drunk in front of anybody but his most trusted staff or family. He almost certainly has never had a truly authentic friendship. To see his mum he had to arrange an appointment. I don’t think I’d switch places with him. It’s not the same as being rich and famous like Beyoncé or Bill Gates. I think it rather swap places with anybody in the upper middle class than Charles.

Butlers that will apparently pick things up for you so you don't have to even bend down or (god forbid) stick your hands in a paper trash can, or constantly struggling to pay rent and keep food on the table. Hmm, tough choice.

EDIT: Downvotes aren't going to make me sympathize with rich cunts calling themselves "princes" or "kings."

Yeah just assuming everyone is here is middle class, decent car, 50 grand saved in the bank, eat out 3 times a week, 401k.

100% there are people who would definitly kill to live this man's extremely rich, yet boring and probaly lonely life, over constant struggle and suffering.

I have none of those things, my life is constant struggle and suffering and I agree with the other commenter. The opulent luxury and hyper-privilege are just icing covering up a cake made of shit.
