Ammon – Many believe that King Charles III has many talented chefs, who prepare delicious food for him upon his request, and that he sits every day at a table rich in dishes prepared for him, presented in the finest silverware and plates in his palace, but the matter is in reality. This is not the case. The British King follows a modest approach to the food he eats. He prefers locally grown vegetables, small meals, and eggs from the chickens he raises himself.
In case you are wondering about his daily routine, here we list King Charles’ favorite breakfast and dinner meals, some strange mealtime requests, and the one meal he never eats, according to the English magazine “Hello”.
What does King Charles eat for breakfast?
King Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, have a small farm raising their own chickens at their Gloucestershire family home, so it’s no surprise that fresh eggs feature heavily on their breakfast menu.
The official Clarence House Instagram page once shared one of Charles’s favorite breakfast recipes, which was baked eggs with cheese, meaning that the king starts with food full of protein.
Royal journalist, Tina Brown, also revealed in her book “Palace Papers” that the king also prefers to eat nuts and seeds in the morning, as he sometimes eats an amount of his favorite flax seeds with breakfast.
What did King Charles III eat for lunch?
It is known that King Charles does not eat lunch, and this fact was recognized by Clarence House, which published a list of 70 facts, on the occasion of the King (formerly Prince Charles)’s 70th birthday.
At number 20 on the list, it was stated that “the prince does not eat lunch,” because he believes that eating lunch is a “luxury” that conflicts with his busy work schedule, according to former royal correspondent Gordon Rayner.
What does King Charles III eat for dinner?
Things that Charles and Camilla enjoy doing are gardening and eating delicious meals using fresh produce, many of which are produced on their own farm. In addition, Charles is a strong advocate of sustainability, so he chooses to follow a primarily vegetarian diet. In order to reduce its carbon footprint.
In an interview with the BBC, Charles said: “For years, I took the approach of not eating meat and fish two days a week, and not eating dairy products one day a week.”
The King usually eats “mushroom risotto,” as the former royal chef, Darren McGrady, once shared his royal recipe for preparing this dish, and said that it was inspired by the time he went searching for wild mushrooms at Balmoral with Prince Charles before he became king, adding: “ “It’s no secret that King Charles III loves Italian food, and these dried wild mushrooms make the perfect risotto.”
Also, it was said that the king eats a boiled egg and a side salad with every meal, and does not like chocolate, coffee, and garlic, so chefs have to take these things into consideration when they prepare a menu for him.
What did King Charles III drink?
According to the Sunday Times, the king likes loose-leaf tea, with the serving being one teaspoon of leaves per cup of tea.
When drinking green tea, the king requires that the water be heated to 70 degrees Celsius, while “Earl Gray” tea (a flavored tea mixture with the addition of bergamot oil) must be heated to 100 degrees Celsius.
While Charles has given up the sweet treat of chocolate, he makes up for it with tablespoons of organic honey, which he reportedly adds directly to his teapot.
