In an unusual move, aides to Britain's Prince Charles denied a report on Saturday that the heir-to-the-throne's staff have to cook him seven boiled eggs to allow him to choose one with the perfect consistency.
According to BBC Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman's new book "On Royalty," Charles enjoys a boiled egg after a day's hunting but he is fussy about how long it is cooked.
"If the Prince felt that number five was too runny, he could knock the top off number six or seven," Paxman told Saturday's Guardian newspaper, which is to serialize the book next week.
"The story is not true," said a spokesman for Britain's Prince Charles, despite Paxman saying the story's source is one of the royal heir's friends.
