King Charles see driving as ‘sense of freedom,’ says ex aide

King Charles has particular eccentricities when it comes to driving.

His Majesty, who is particular about nitty-gritties, likes to have a ride alone when not on public engagements.

Speaking to Select Car Leasing, former Royal butler, Grant Harrold, said that for the Royal Family, driving is “a bit of normality and freedom for them.”

He noted that King Charles “would often prefer to drive himself than using a chauffeur.”

Harrold added that King Charles “always had a cushion on his seat to support his back, we always had to make sure there was one in there for him.”

“He was always working away, especially if it was a long drive,” Harrold said of King Charles. “But the King never had snacks in the car as he really doesn’t like mess.”

“Queen Camilla in particular was known to always have her dogs in the car,” Harrold then spoke of Queen Camilla.

“Her car always had loads of hair in the backseat where they sat,” Harrold added.
