Could you be a little more specific about what constitutes the behavior of an Edwardian grandee?
Ok to be fair that image of Charles is a bit overblown and he's not that different from the rest of the family and the extended European Royal family.
But it is the stories about the boiled eggs and having a valet squeeze toothpaste out for him are damaging as it fits in with previous actions such as rejecting a number of grace and favour properties and instead buying one of his own, the lavish entertaining and the perception of ingratitude, combined with the now infamous self pity, can it times make Charles seem like he accidentally stumbled into a time machine on the way to Edward VII's coronation
