King Charles ensures his bathing routine is environmental friendly, says an insider.

His Majesty ditches the conventional bubble to use lime oil to reduce wastage.

Highgrove House gardener Jack Stooks tells Heart Bingo Online: "He used to use one from the Highgrove Shop, and just a few drops in his bath.”

The former royal staffer added: "Lime oil has such a lovely scent, and it’s meant to be really good for your skin."

“But the main reason he used it was he developed this brilliant system where his used bath water is saved and used to water the garden—and the lime oil is safe to use on plants,” Stooks explains.

He notes: "It’s plumbed in a way that the water goes straight into these big barrels outside, and the water is then used around the garden," Stooks shares. "It’s very clever and it means nothing is wasted."
