Netflix ‘The Crown’ Season 4 might make it look like Prince Charles was an angry man who was forced to marry a woman that he didn’t love as much as his mistress, but royal insiders say that’s not the case at all.
In fact, one former butler suggests that not one did he hear the Duke of Wales shout or scream during the seven years that he worked at Buckingham Palace. That, and he says that Prince Charles’ wife Camilla Parker Bowles isn’t as manipulative and cold as the show suggests. Here’s what you need to know.
According to Insider, former royal butler Grant Harrold says that The Crown has got it all wrong and that Prince Charles is not the angry royal that the show is portraying him to be. Former butler Grant Harrold says that Prince Charles was nothing but police, respectful and professional during his time at the palace.

Harrold told the Insider that before a huge prestigious event at Balmoral Castle, he couldn’t help but feel nervous. Thankfully, the Duchess of Cornwall helped to calm his nerves.
“I was trying to work out how not to go, as I was worried I would do something wrong,” Harrold told Insider. “The duchess said, ‘If you go, I’ll dance with you.’ Because she knew that would calm me down.”
Recalling the ball, Harrold also said, “In this ballroom, it’s a huge ballroom — it can hold 150 people — when the royal family came down, she made a beeline across the room to find me to dance with her. This is what people don’t see.”
Harrold also said that while actor Joshua O’Connor certainly did get Prince Charles’ mannerisms down correctly, the future King of England wasn’t the kind of person who would go around shouting al the time.
“In seven years of working for him, he never raised his voice to me — not once, never. And we were close, I was around him a lot,” Harrold said.
So far Buckingham Palace has not made any comments about The Crown Season 4.
