While the King doesn't eat as many as seven in one day, chef Graham Tinsley once revealed that the King eats a boiled egg with every single meal.
It is reported that the King typically asks for a perfectly soft boiled, or coddled egg every morning, according to MyLondon.
As it is his 'big day' King Charles could look forward to his favourite meal to kick off the weekend… cheesy baked eggs. Back in 2020, Clarence House shared the recipe for the then-Prince Charles' favourite dish in honour of British Cheese Weekender.
Foraged mushrooms, organic eggs, cheese and crackers, and locally-raised in-season lamb make appearances on his food menu but the King follows a mostly plant-based diet and tends to skip lunch entirely too, according to the 70 facts released about him on the prince of wales website.
Another widely reported rumour about the King's diet has long divided royal fans. The monarch is said to enjoy a 'coddled egg' with every meal - that is an egg boiled for around two or three minutes to ensure it remains soft.
True to his blue blood, King Charles enjoys eating game meat like pheasant, venison, and grouse. Traditionally these meats have been part of the British royal feast. He also loves Scottish salmon which is said to be superior in taste than other varieties.
Chocolate. The late Queen may have been partial to a chocolatey dessert, but according to former royal kitchen manager Graham Tinsley MBE, King Charles doesn't like chocolate at all. The royal chefs make sure they consider all of the King's food likes and dislikes when creating menus for him.
During the chat, the newly crowned queen opened up about her love for some British culinary classics and admitted she doesn't like anything too “mucked about” or “fiddly”. Talking all things food to her son for You magazine, Camilla said: "One of my favourite foods is baked beans on toast.
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.
Not only does he use honey in his tea as previously discussed, but he has a favorite dessert of his own: lemon cream. The recipe, as per Fine Dining Lovers, was created by former royal chef Enrico Derflingher when the then-prince was painting in the Shetland Islands.
Former royal correspondent at the Telegraph, Gordon Rayner has previously claimed that is because the monarch thinks lunch is a “luxury”, and that there is not enough time in his schedule. Even before he took to the throne, Charles was said to have a packed timetable.
King Charles III's former press secretary has revealed some of his eating habits.
"Every day begins with an egg, and they're eaten for tea, too – with crumpets, if you're Prince Charles. The Queen favours brown eggs, believing that they taste better. Her great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria, ate her boiled egg, served in a golden egg cup, with a golden spoon."
King Charles's love of Italian food also worked out well for his sons—whom Chef McGrady said would often eat pizza when Italian was on the menu.
King Charles has particular tastes in meals, and he's said to be quite a fussy eater. Express.co.uk looked into the dishes the new monarch enjoys regularly, and those he just won't eat.
And, according to McGrady, while the Queen eats the same breakfast pretty much every day (Earl Grey tea and a bowl of Special K cereal) and opts for simple dishes like grilled chicken or grilled fish (alongside a gin cocktail or the occasional chocolate) for the rest of the day, it's the “jam penny” sandwich that she's ...
It's just a jam sandwich — bread, a bit of butter, and jam, cut into small circles (or similar shapes) for serving. These simple treats were a lifetime favorite of the queen's, with Chef McGrady stating that she enjoyed one every single day since she was five years old.
The Queen preferred grilled fish or chicken, served simply with vegetables. She generally skipped starches like potatoes, grains, or rice during her evening meal. What is this?
Giving a nod to her and green-fingered King Charles's love of gardening, Camilla continued, "I do still cook for myself when at home. Simple things like fish en papillote with butter and herbs.
McGrady says the Queen has four meals a day - but only eats small portions at each. In a series of YouTube Q&A videos, he says that during his time as her personal chef between 1982 and 1993, the Queen would eat breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. For breakfast she keeps things simple.
The royal family very rarely eat pasta. In fact, it's only really served on special occasions or at dinner parties. Apparently, it's all to do with it being too starchy and filling, and the Queen's simply not into that.
Charles has previously spoken about the environmental impact of meat consumption, so it's unsurprising he's gone for a meat-free option. He even revealed two years ago that he eats veggie two days of the week and goes fully vegan for a third.
