He was fond of practical jokes, hiding knives and forks when a footman was laying the table, tying the shoelaces of centuries, teasing his grandmother and reputedly an Anglican bishop at Balmoral as well, with a whoopee cushion, putting itching powder into his mother's bed, turning the aerial at Buckingham Palace so she could not watch the racing at Sandown, and putting washing up liquid in the palace pool. A valuable silver tray was used as a toboggan for sliding down palace stairs, and he would pedal furiously up and down the long red-carpeted corridors on his tricycle. Almost from the beginning he felt a strong sense of entitlement, with fawning staff, lavish homes, chauffeured cars, and showed himself to be willful, exuberant, gregarious[…]”
