HIS youngest son is still regularly spotted with a cigarette in hand but Prince Charles's wife gave up smoking "years ago".
Camilla's call to ditch the fags is among a range of royal snippets released on Charles's official website, aiming to dispel myths about the heir to the British throne.
While Charles, who turns 64 on Wednesday, and Camilla, 65, continue their tour of New Zealand as part of a southern hemisphere visit which has also taken in Australia and Papua New Guinea, their London-based staff on Monday released the answers to 24 "FAQs" (frequently asked questions) about the couple.
Contrary to the suggestion of a well-read British author, Charles does not demand seven boiled eggs for breakfast and eat only the one he deems to be cooked best.
"No, he doesn't and never has done, at breakfast or any other time," the website www.princeofwales.gov.uk/faqs states.
The website also tries to justify Charles's staff of 161 full-time equivalent positions.
"Of these, 134.9 support Their Royal Highnesses, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, in undertaking official duties and charitable activities, and 26.2 are personal, garden and farm staff," the site reads.
Except for the odd occasion when Charles must ride in a police-owned Bentley for security purposes, the Prince uses a range of vehicles which have been converted to use biodiesel made from used cooking oil, in keeping with his greenie beliefs.
Charles's 40-year-old Aston Martin, famously driven by Prince William on the day of his marriage to Catherine, runs on bioethanol made from waste wine, the website says.
And while Prince Harry is still regularly photographed holding a cigarette, Camilla has kicked the habit.
"The Duchess of Cornwall gave up smoking many years ago," says the site.
Since marrying Charles in 2005, Camilla has kept her own home in the English countryside.
"The Duchess likes to spend time with her children and grandchildren at their family home in Wiltshire," aids wrote.
