Prince Charles’s Communications Secretary quashes portable leather toilet seat rumours

The Prince of Wales’s Communications Secretary has quashed rumours that Prince Charles travels around with a portable leather toilet seat.

Taking to Twitter, Julian Payne said: “Just catching up on some of last week’s coverage. Does anyone seriously believe The Prince travels with a leather loo seat?

I mean multiple boiled eggs may be plausible even though it’s nonsense. But an actual portable loo seat???”

Numerous publications have reported that Princess Anne purchased a leather toilet seat for her brother a few years ago as a present.

He apparently loved the gift so much that he brings the lavatory seat with him every time he travels.

Thank goodness that rumour has been debunked!
