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.

Oh boohoo.

The poor king of England, my heavens.

Won't you think of his feelings?

Fuck Charles and the entire Royal family. They've done far more harm then good to humanity.

Dude also blatantly cheated on Diana and has been an absolute cock to his sons.

Use whatever excuse you want to make yourself feel okay, the dude is a shit bag who deserves zero sympathy.
