King Charles’ Sniper Salmon Squad, Princess Anne’s Insta Debut and 16 Bathrooms in Montecito

Only in royal life.

King Charles reportedly enlisted armed protection officers using telescopic sights to help him spot salmon while fly fishing in Ireland. Security officers positioned in trees allegedly identified fish through rifle lenses and relayed directions via earpiece as the King cast his line. Despite the high-tech assist, experts insist Charles remains an accomplished traditional angler.

Princess Anne, meanwhile, made her first ever personal appearance on social media, posting a direct-to-camera Instagram message congratulating Team GB’s Winter Olympians. The moment carried extra weight given Anne herself competed at the 1976 Montreal Games.

Across the Atlantic, a property video of Harry and Meghan’s roughly $29 million California mansion — complete with nine bedrooms and sixteen bathrooms — sparked online jokes about the toilet count. Property experts say such layouts are standard for sprawling U.S. estates.
Elsewhere, an alleged former palace staffer surfaced on Reddit claiming King Charles’ famously meticulous routines are real and accusing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of being “beyond rude” to staff — though the claims remain unverified.

And if you’re job hunting, Buckingham Palace is hiring a live-in kitchen porter, no experience required. Sandringham is also seeking a chef. Staff there, however, have reportedly been told they do not have to work for Andrew if they feel uncomfortable.
