In a hilarious and embarrassing incident, former Cabinet Minister Rory Stewart recounts a terrifying experience he had while working as a tutor for Prince William and Prince Harry.

This unforgettable incident led to an unexpected confrontation with the then Prince of Wales, King Charles.

The incident took place at Highgrove House when Stewart was just 19 years old and responsible for tutoring the young princes.

During one evening, after a long day, Stewart decided to take a shower around 11 pm.

Little did he know that this innocent act would soon turn into a nightmare.

As Stewart finished his shower and tried to leave the bathroom, he realized he couldn’t open the door.

In a panic, he broke the key in the lock, leaving himself trapped inside.

Desperate for help, he pleaded with the then Prince of Wales to sleep on the bathroom floor, as he couldn’t find a way out.

Former Downing Street Communications Director Alastair Campbell and Cabinet Secretary Rory Stewart shared this amusing encounter on their podcast, The Rest is Politics.

Both struggled to contain their laughter as they recounted the story.

Stewart explained that he was initially agonizing over the broken key, unable to change it.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and it was the voice of King Charles, who was then the Prince of Wales, reminding Stewart to turn off the lights before going to bed.

This humorous incident showcased the king’s concern for the environment.

Feeling terrified at his first proper job, Stewart had to confess to the king that he had locked himself in the bathroom.

The prince advised him to turn the key in the lock, but Stewart ended up unscrewing the key from the hole instead.

Stewart admitted his embarrassment, saying, “I let this thing go.

I look around and say, ‘I’m so sorry, sir.'”

King Charles, referring to the late hour, asked if Stewart suggested waking up the entire house to break down the door.

In a stroke of panic, Stewart realized that he was actually in Highgrove House’s panic room, surrounded by instructions on how to handle emergencies.

Eventually, the door was opened after the sound of axes attacking it could be heard.

Stewart peered through the door to see the Prince of Wales in a gown, directing a group of people armed with weapons.

The next morning, Stewart became the subject of laughter at the breakfast table.

This amusing and embarrassing incident serves as a reminder that even the most prestigious individuals can find themselves in comical situations.

It showcases the human side of the royal family and their ability to laugh at themselves.

As Rory Stewart shared this story on the podcast, listeners were entertained by the unexpected turn of events and the lightheartedness of the Prince of Wales.

It is a tale that Stewart will never forget and one that brings a smile to the faces of those who hear it.
