Very strange indeed...

As you'd expect with people that live the way the British royal family do, they've got servants at their disposal 24/7.

They cook their food, make their bed's and just generally help them with day-to-day life... It'd be nice wouldn't it?

Well one member of the family reportedly takes things to the extreme which has led to him being referred to as the 'Pampered Prince'.

According to Princess Diana's close friend and former butler Paul Burrell, who worked closely with the family, Prince Charles has a very strict - and very strange - morning routine.

It requires a lot of help from his loyal staff, and some of the requests are a little unusual.

Speaking during Amazon Prime's documentary Serving the Royals: Inside the Firm, Mr Burrell reveals:

"His pyjamas are pressed every morning, his shoe laces are pressed flat with an iron, the bath plug has to be in a certain position, and the water temperature has to be just tepid."

But quite possibly the most bizarre request regards brushing his teeth.

Mr Burrell claims Charles has one of his staff squeeze exactly one inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush every morning.

Just a tad odd.

Earlier this week Prince Harry revealed he was mocked when he was younger for picking up an unusual habit from his dad.

Speaking on a new BBC documentary to mark Prince Charles's 70th birthday, Harry said: "I used to get taken the mickey out of at school for just picking up rubbish" reports the Express.

He goes on: "When you go for walks anywhere, if you see something, it stands out, you pick it up.

"Before you know it, somebody [says], 'What are you doing?' I've literally done this because I am programmed to do it because my father did it. And actually, we should all be doing it."
