'Nobody', He Whimpered, 'Could Call Me A Fussy Man; I Only Want A Little Bit Of Butter For My Bread.'

A 6' ironing board, lukewarm water and a staff of 5 or 6, went with Prince Andrew when he travelled abroad as an ambassador for business.
That request for a little bit of butter seems quite modest, doesn't it?

I think that '6' ironing board' and 'lukewarm water' were actually names given to His Wokingness by the 5 or 6 staff, Sandy.

lukewarm water - gross, water has to be very very cold before drinking.

a 6' ironing board? Was that for scuba diving suits, or Teletubbies outfits worn to fancy dress balls, or something?

His former valet is reported to have said: 'No one can iron his trousers as well as I can'.
But who heeds the gossip of servants?
