- King Charles is said to travel everywhere with his childhood teddy bear and 'custom-made toilet seat' claims royal author Christopher Andersen in his new book.

King Charles travels with his childhood teddy bear and 'custom-made' toilet seat when he leaves the palace, a royal author has claimed.
The monarch, who ascended the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, is said to carry his beloved bear every where with him when he travels, according to royal author Christopher Anderson.
In his new book, The King: The Life of King Charles III, he claims that even as an adult man, King Charles has a childhood teddy bear that has its own repairer.
According to a valet, who spoke to the author via Page Six, Charles' Nanny Mabel Anderson "was the only human being allowed to take needle and thread to Prince Charles’s teddy bear. He was well into his 40s, and every time that teddy needed to be repaired, you would think it was his own child having major surgery.”
And his furry friend and a “custom-made toilet seat” is something he still carries with him on his travels today whenever he hits the road, the royal author told ET Canada, "
“He still travels with a childhood teddy bear. He’s had it since he was a very small child… The only person who’s been allowed to mend King Charles’s teddy bear is his childhood nanny, Mabel Anderson, who he remains very close to.”
