The author of a damning new biography of Prince Charles says the book was long overdue.
In Rebel Prince, Tom Bower has accused the prince of being out of touch, having unusual habits, and demanding luxury items wherever he goes.
He says the Prince of Wales changes his clothes up to five times a day, and likes "premium comfort" toilet paper.
Bower told Kate Hawkesby the book is simply about Charles' efforts to rehabilitate himself since the death of Diana.
"The point is that most of the books are fawning and sycophantic and thought its time to do a proper assessment in a journalistic way."
