Harrold also noted that Charles had a “great sense of humor,” which came in handy during one funny mishap early on in Harrold’s royal career. “I remember when I first started working for [Prince Charles], on one of my first days, I bumped into him and I was a bit worried [about] what to do,” Harrold told, was also present. “I dived into a cupboard because I didn’t know what the etiquette was!”

Thankfully, Harrold said the royal pair got a kick out of the whole situation. “They found this hysterical and there was a lot of laughter about it,” he explained., showed him how “down-to-earth and normal and fun” the couple can be. “That was exactly what it was like for my whole time there,” he explained. “I was very lucky.”
