The 33-year-old Welshman wanted to celebrate coronation week by using the ingredients from one of the King's favourite sandwiches – fried egg, pesto, gruyere cheese and
Royal expert Russell Myers added on Lorraine that the King's favourite meal ever (apart from eggs) is “wild mushroom risotto,” using the produce from the land. This is because he is a big lover of Italian food.
Does not have lunch
As per a media report, King Charles completely avoids having lunch. He has a heavy breakfast and later has high tea at 5 pm wherein he eats hard-boiled eggs and toast during his afternoon tea.
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.
Elsewhere, quiche has been revealed as the Coronation recipe for the Big Lunch. Featuring spinach, broad beans and tarragon, Their Majesties have shared the quiche recipe in celebration of the Coronation Big Lunches taking place over the bank holiday weekend.
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.
Queen Elizabeth adhered to a daily teatime meal; her preference for delicate sandwiches with the crusts cut off was well-publicized. Her favorite version was reported to be smoked salmon with cream cheese. If the old adage is true, one should eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper.
King Charles III has long been known to favour a fruit cake (unlike his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, whose favourite cake was a chocolate biscuit cake - Charles can't stand chocolate!) and so I thought I'd share with you my favourite fruit cake recipe.
Lunch. Lunch is something simple, like grilled fish or chicken with vegetables. The Queen does not eat starches on an ordinary day at home, so there's never pasta, rice, or potatoes. The Queen has a glass of Champagne with lunch, another with dinner, and a third at the end of the evening.
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.
It is reported that the King typically asks for a perfectly soft boiled, or coddled egg every morning, according to MyLondon.
For breakfast she keeps things simple. Royal biographer, Katie Nicholl, has previously said: "HRH typically starts with a simple cup of tea and biscuits, followed by a bowl of cereal." (The Guardian previously reported she likes to keep it in Tupperware to preserve its freshness.)

However, King Charles sips tea throughout the day. Specifically, His Majesty sips Darjeeling Tea with milk and a dash of honey. Reportedly, the late Queen Elizabeth II was very fond of Darjeeling tea. In fact, it's served in Buckingham Palace as a tradition.
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.
Queen Elizabeth II has eaten jam sandwiches every day since she was a toddler, according to her former private chef.
Following this, it is reported that Queen Elizabeth enjoyed some grilled fish or chicken, and tended to stay away from starch for her meal at lunch. It's clearly the simple things that Queen Elizabeth preferred when it came to food! For fish, the Queen loved some Dover Sole with wilted spinach or courgettes.
These include chocolate, coffee, and garlic — all ingredients that can destroy your breath. Charles' wife confirmed this during an episode of "MasterChef Australia." Camilla Parker Bowles said garlic was the one food she wouldn't want to see at a royal reception, due to Charles' distaste for it (via Twitter).
Being a fan of organic gardening, King Charles' favourite fruit is naturally the plums from his garden. His team of chefs poach them and serve with juice and muesli for the King's breakfast.
Prince Charles is a longtime owner of Jack Russell terriers, loving the breed for many years.
Camilla loves fish and salads, while Charles eats a special mix of muesli for breakfast with a selection of six kinds of honey. Two days a week, he eats a vegetarian diet, and on one day he gives up dairy entirely—all in an effort to lessen his carbon footprint.
Tuna mayonnaise sandwiches
A former royal chef recently claimed the Queen's favourite sandwich was tuna mayonnaise. He said that the sandwich always had to be generously buttered and topped with thin slices of cucumber, plus a sprinkle of black pepper on top.
Other sources close to the Queen told the documentary that the Monarch's taste was "mainstream", with "no airs and graces". Anson went on to confirm the Queen's top ten hits, including 'Sing' co-written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and performed by Gary Barlow and the Commonwealth Band featuring the Military Wives.
Apparently, she heads to bed at 10.30pm each evening in order to get a good night's sleep. The bling is stunning, obviously.
