President Donald Trump flew his own bed linen from the U.S. for his stay in a royal English castle and courtiers in the ultra-luxurious accommodation think they know why.
Courtiers at Windsor Castle a home to Great Britain's King Charles are reportedly joking that Trump wants to avoid leaving stains on the royal bedding from tanning chemicals.
The courtier's theory was shared with the Daily Mail in a report Tuesday as Trump started his first full day of the United Kingdom visit.....
"The president's aides, inspecting his suite in Windsor Castle before his arrival, provided housekeepers with bedding. A courtier muses that it may just be the President not wanting to stain the royal pillows with whatever tanning chemicals he uses to keep his orange hue.
"Below-stairs wags, noting that Melania has a separate suite, joke that if she'd asked for a water bed she could effortlessly drift apart from Donald."

And other body fluids.

He's all the grossness.
