Yes, King Charles does eat meat but significantly restricts his intake, often avoiding it for two days a week and having given up red meat entirely, especially after his cancer diagnosis, favoring organic, plant-based foods, though fish and organic lamb were once favorites and still appear occasionally. He's a long-time advocate for reducing animal products for environmental reasons and aligns his diet with health advice, incorporating more avocados and generally choosing a flexitarian, plant-forward approach.
King Charles: organic food
He now reportedly avoids eating fish and meat two days a week, and he follows an entirely plant-based diet at least one day in seven.
Foie gras. King Charles has spent decades of his life advocating for animals and the environment. He rarely consumes meat, and when he does it's usually fish. So it makes sense that his hardline stance on foie gras extends to the palace kitchens.
While King Charles does not adhere to a vegan diet, he's certainly plant-based food-friendly, as well.
In the book Bowles says Charles and Camilla eat 'simple, healthy and resolutely seasonal food', made by royal chef Mark Flanagan. The royal pantry is filled with produce grown on the royal estates, including 'game, beef and lamb' plus fruit and vegetables like 'peas, strawberries, raspberries and chard'.
After a day of mainly plant-based and raw foods, Kate prefers to indulge in a hearty traditional English supper or nourishing carb-dense meals. She often eats roast chicken for dinner, which is Prince William's favourite meal, and is said to enjoy cooking pizza, pasta and baking cakes with their children.

When they return, it's straight into pre-lunch drinks." One reason mooted for the separation of the sexes is that it gives the female royals more time to prepare hair and make up for the highly photographed church service.
When it comes to breakfast, though, she starts her day with “slow-burn energy oats.” Kate prepares hers with milk or mixes them with yogurt. She also adds fruit, nuts, cinnamon and nut butter. You may know slow-burn energy oats as rolled oats, and it's possible they're already part of your morning routine.
Forbidden foods
She is forbidden to eat shellfish, for example, when travelling because they could cause food poisoning. Ditto for tap water, bottled water only, and spicy foods. Carbohydrates are also banned, in deference to the late Queen who was not a fan of pasta, rice or potatoes.
And now we've discovered another rule the royals have to follow - and it's all to do with their bedtimes. According to Sir William Heseltine, one of Queen's private secretaries, when staying with Her Majesty, members of the royal family should wait until the Queen retires to bed before they also hit the hay.
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex: banana flan
“They loved banana flan, anything with banana really, banana ice cream,” McGrady told Hello! magazine. Harry still enjoys banana bakes to this day, according to food website Mashed.
And that's because I was eating a variety of foods I loved. Ultimately, I learned that "bingeing" and "elimination" don't exist in Markle's eating plan. Even though she minimizes the amount of gluten, dairy, and meat she eats, it's important to remember she it appears she doesn't believe in shunning them forever.
"She never ate pork," McGrady told the outlet. "Occasionally she'd have lamb when she was entertaining guests but for the most part it was chicken, fish or vegetarian options."
With that in mind, here's a look at 13 items you'll never see the royal family eat or drink.

Queen Camilla experienced a chest infection, later revealed to be a form of pneumonia, which forced her to cancel engagements in late 2024, leading to ongoing post-viral fatigue requiring rest and a modified schedule, though she has since recovered from the acute illness. She confirmed the pneumonia diagnosis during a state visit, managing indoor events but avoiding strenuous outdoor activities due to tiredness.
She would rise at 7:30am, ensuring she got a respectable eight and a half hours of sleep each night. Exercise is known to aid a good sleep routine, and like the late monarch, Kate is renowned for her love of outdoor exercise.
