King Charles III would perform half-naked headstands to manage his chronic pain from old polo injuries, Prince Harry claims in his new tell-all memoir.

The Duke of Sussex details his father’s “constant neck and back pain” while explaining how he would dread accidentally opening the wrong door at Balmoral Castle in Scotland out of fear for what was on the other side.

“Open the wrong door and you might burst in on Pa while his valet was helping him dress,” Harry writes in “Spare,” which hit bookstores Tuesday.

“Worse, you might blunder in as he was doing his headstands. Prescribed by his physio, these exercises were the only effective remedy for the constant pain in Pa’s neck and back.”

Harry, 38, shares that Charles, 74, carried out the headstands “daily, in a pair of boxers” while “propped against a door or hanging from a bar like a skilled acrobat.”

“If you set one little finger on the knob, you would hear him begging from the other side, ‘No! No! Don’t open! Please, God, don’t open!’”

It’s unclear whether Charles still performs the daily ritual.

Buckingham Palace hasn’t commented on any of the claims made in the redheaded royal’s bombshell memoir.

While Harry feels more than comfortable to share what allegedly took place behind the king’s door, he also admits that he “currently” is not in touch with his family, including his dad and brother Prince William.

The renegade royal writes that he and his wife, Meghan Markle, who quit their royal duties in 2020, are hoping for a “private” and “constructive conversation” with his family in the future.

“I really look forward to having that family element back,” he continues. “I look forward to having a relationship with my brother. I look forward to having a relationship with my father and other members of my family.”
