Prince Charles does not have seven eggs cooked for him
for breakfast, according to the Royal Family's new website which aims to
dispel popular myths surrounding the British monarchy.
"No, he doesn't and never has done, at breakfast or any
other time", Clarence House said in response to the claims that were
first made by BBC presenter Jeremy Paxman in his 2006 book "On
Monarchy".
Clarence House, Prince Charles' private office, usually
renowned for protecting the secrecy of the direct heir to the throne,
his wife and children, has changed tact and opted to debunk the myths in
a new frequently asked questions section.
The website denies Prince Charles, who turns 64 on
Wednesday, dislikes all modern architecture - an allegation he has
frequently been accused of in his work to protect British heritage.

In response to the question, "Does The Prince advocate
untested and dangerous alternative medical therapies?", the site also
gives a forceful no.
"Not at all. The Prince is a keen advocate of
integrated healthcare. This means taking a wider, preventative approach
to healthcare by addressing the underlying social, lifestyle and
environmental causes".
The Prince also pays tax, has not given any thought to
his coronation, nor lent his support to the creation of a new Royal
Yacht as a legacy for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Neither does the Duchess of Cornwall smoke, the website assured. She "gave up smoking many years ago".
In response to a question about why Prince Charles, as
an environmental campaigner, drives a Bentley, the site said the "car is
required for some engagements for security reasons and is owned by the
Metropolitan Police". (Reporting by Stephen Eisenhammer, editing by Paul
