Page Siz -The Prince of Wales, 69, has reportedly earned a special nickname among the staff at Clarence House: The Pampered Prince. That’s because, according to Amazon Prime’s new documentary “Serving the Royals: Inside the Firm,” Charles needs help doing just about everything.
“His pajamas are pressed every morning, his shoelaces 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,” Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, revealed in the documentary, per Yahoo.
Burrell even said that Charles “has his valets squeeze one inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush every morning.”
The butler’s duties reportedly extend to fetching items just a few feet away from the prince. “On one occasion, he rang me from his library and he said, ‘Oh Paul, a letter from the Queen seems to have fallen into my wastepaper bin. Would you pick it out?'” Burrell claimed.

A world without royal parasites would not necessarily be a just world. Napoleon III ceased to rule France in 1870 and the USA did away with the monarchy a century earlier (although Trump is doing a good impersonation of George III), but neither can be considered just. That will have to wait until we focus on securing a world without war and want, one without states and their leaders royal or otherwise.
That's a traditional way to employ people.
Dr. Smith wrote about it in Wealth of Nations, saying that the rich now bought fancy shoe buckles for themselves alone rather than spend the money to hire retainers and thereby provide them a living (as is still done, or was as recently as 50 years ago, by traditional rulers in Africa).
