Back in 2020, Clarence House famously revealed one of the King’s favourite brunch recipes, which was cheesy baked eggs.
Posting a picture of the eggs to Instagram at the time, Clarence House wrote: “The Prince has also shared one of his favourite recipes, Cheesy Baked Eggs, which can be made by using any number of our great British cheeses.”
He is keen on nuts and seeds in the morning, along with a cup of tea, according to royal journalist, Tina Brown’s book “The Palace Papers”.
The King is also known to moderate his meat and dairy intake on certain days as well as “skip lunch” due to his busy schedule.
The monarch’s eating pattern was revealed in 2018 when Clarence House released a list of 70 facts to mark the then-Prince Charles’s 70th birthday. Number 20 on the list is that “The Prince does not eat lunch”.
Julian Payne, Charles’s former press secretary previously said: “The King doesn’t eat lunch; so, an early lesson I learnt when out on the road with him was to have a big breakfast or bring a few snack bars with you to keep you going.
“The working day is pretty relentless. Beginning with the radio news headlines and a breakfast of seasonal fruit salad and seeds with tea.”
Charle’s healthy lifestyle involves spending a good amount of time outdoors.
He is said to only break from his busy schedule at around 1pm “not to eat but to get outside to walk”.
Payne explained: “The King dislikes being inside for too long and always has the windows wide open.”
King Charles has been maintaining an active lifestyle even at 75 by regularly hill-walking and gardening which is expected to help during his battle.
Medical experts have all agreed that an active lifestyle is important in the prevention of cancer as well as during treatment.
Studies have found that regular exercise can help with stress and fatigue caused by cancer, apart from certain ones, like bone cancer.
Aside from a previous issue with backbane, due to polo, the King has rarely required hospital treatment and is deemed overall healthy for his age.
