Holy Sheet! Preparing Charles and Camilla's linen is a royal pain

THE latest royal documentary, Queen of the World, gives viewers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the lives of the royals.

And one detail that’s revealed during the program is the amount of time it can take royal staff to iron each bed sheet.

The show, which premieres on Channel Seven on Tuesday, October 2, follows Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall on a visit to the Canadian royal residence of Rideau Hall where they stayed during a trip to Ottawa.

During the segment, master of the household Christine MacIntyre reveals exactly what goes into preparing a bed fit for royalty.

Revealing a shocking fact about the bedding, MacIntyre explains it can take over an hour to iron one sheet.

“There are special sheets that are used for members of the royal family and they’re kept aside and brought out on only those special occasions when they’re here,” she explains.

“It takes over an hour to iron one sheet.”

MacIntrye also reveals one of the reasons why so much effort goes into preparing each bed — and it turns out it’s very thoughtful indeed.

“After a long day of travelling there’s nothing better than getting into a bed that doesn’t feel like a hotel bed,” she says.

“And that’s what you’re trying to do, is to make it feel like they’re in their own bedroom and they are.”

Queen Of The World premieres Tuesday, October 2 at 7.30pm on Channel Seven and part two airs on Wednesday, October 3 at 7.30pm.
