KING'S PARANOIA STRIKES DEEP!

Charles convinced conspiracy is trying to undermine his reign

PARANOID King Charles is ruthlessly cleaning house — Paxing royal retainers, advisors and even his own relatives — as the mad monarch’s become convinced he’s the target of a sinister plot to oust him, high-level palace insiders say.

Terrified his darkest secrets are being taped, the mentally tortured king has ordered hourly security checks for electronic bugs in ALL the royal residences — even his own chambers, say sources.

“He’s obsessed with plugging palace leaks of conversations — even his own pillow talk,” dishes a well-placed courtier.

“After waiting 70 years, Charles has achieved his destiny of becoming king. But he’s convinced people are out to get him and there’s a plot to make his reign the shortest ever.

“His mission is to muzzle the palace’s loose lips and no one is above suspicion — not even his ‘darling’ wife, Camilla.”

Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, accusing Camilla of tattling about him to the press, reportedly set off alarm bells in Charles’ head, the courtier says.

“He knows becoming queen was her lifelong dream. Now he worries she’ll stoop so low as to snoop on him to remain the power behind the throne!” says the insider.
