The former assistant said that during the altercations Charles tried to avoid his wife by walking around the villa while being chased by Diana. She repeatedly asked him, “Why don’t you sleep with me?” After ignoring the question several times, Charles eventually replied, “I don’t know, honey. I think maybe I’m gay.”

Christopher Anderson’s book also says that Diana, aware of her husband’s romance with Camilla, had a habit of attacking Charles’ mistress. One of the book’s sources claimed to have seen Diana “throw epithets and mock her husband’s obsession with ‘Ugly Camilla'”. Advisors to the British royal family have not yet commented on the work.

Another of Charles’s personal assistants tells of the monarch’s obsession with a teddy bear he was given as a child. Already in his early 40s he had an assistant who only took care of the toys and was also responsible for any repairs.
Anderson says of the employee responsible for the toy in the book: “He was the only person who was allowed to take a needle and thread to Prince Charles’ teddy bear. He was in his 40s and every time that teddy bear needed repairs it was like his son having to undergo delicate surgery.”
