Khaberni - Tom Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla's son, reveals three staple foods in King Charles III's breakfast from his recently released book "Cooking and the Crown". This is part of the morning routine for the King of Britain.
King Charles III currently maintains a busy schedule of official events. The King addresses this fast pace by relying on habits that enhance his health and wellbeing. Among them is his daily breakfast, which provides him with the energy necessary to fulfill all his commitments.
Those who know him confirm that he is a methodical man with strict adherence to routine, having precise habits and little room for improvisation. This discipline has been essential for him in managing his lifestyle and maintaining necessary energy. Among his entrenched habits, his breakfast stands out, a ritual he repeats daily.
The Secrecy of Private Life in Buckingham
Details of daily life in Buckingham usually remain completely confidential. A tight control is maintained over personal information of the Windsor family, and aspects of their private lives are rarely disclosed except through testimonies of their closest confidantes.
However, Tom Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla's son, disclosed one such detail in his latest book "Cooking and the Crown". The book includes recipes and culinary habits of the British royal family. Among them, he highlights the cooking routine of King Charles III and his wife Camilla.
Detailed Breakfast Protocol
Moreover, the author described in detail the breakfast protocol of King Charles and the dish they consume every morning. He noted that he had experienced it at several official residences of the royal family. The book presents a different view of the royals, showing them at the table in a more intimate daily setting.
The Breakfast that Captivates King Charles
The famous royal breakfast consists of a special omelette with exquisite herbs. It is based on three eggs, with English mustard and Dijon mustard as essential components for achieving the desired consistency. Parsley, tarragon, and pepper are added, and sometimes Gruyère cheese or mushrooms.
According to Parker Bowles, the secret lies in the method of preparation. The oil must be moderate, and the cooking time short, with mushrooms and cheese added at the right time. The result is a nutritious and delicious dish, with the balance sought by royalty.
King Charles has included this breakfast in his routine for a while, specifically during his illness. Since announcing his cancer diagnosis, he has given special attention to his diet. He is now fully committed to consuming healthy dishes that enhance his health and strengthen his body.
A Healthy and Energizing Recipe
Despite its rich flavor, experts consider it a healthy breakfast. Its content rich in protein, potassium, and vitamins makes it a balanced and beneficial dish for health. Even the British press describes it as "ideal for weight loss".
Nutrition expert, Helen Bell, highlighted the benefits of eggs in diet control for weight management in comments to "The Mirror" newspaper. According to her, their protein content increases the feeling of satiety and helps maintain energy for hours. This effect is essential for those following demanding diets.
Trump at the King's Table
We still remember the welcome banquet that King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted for U.S. President Donald Trump and his wife Melania two weeks ago. The banquet was attended by Prince William, Princess Kate, and Paula Reynolds, President of the National Network, and Wales Michael Bols, husband of Donald Trump's daughter, Tiffany Trump. Princess Anne was also present and was joined by Warren Stevens, the Ambassador of the United States to the United Kingdom, while Lori Huang, wife of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, joined the Duke of Gloucester. The non-royal guests at the event also included media mogul Robert Murdoch, aged 94 years old.
At that state banquet, the guests enjoyed "Hampshire Arugula Panna Cotta" with Parmesan butter biscuits and quail egg salad, plus organic Norfolk chicken ballotine wrapped in zucchini, with thyme broth. The dessert was vanilla ice cream with Kentish wild berry sherbet and lightly poached Victoria plums.
Music for the evening was provided by members of the First Battalion of the Scottish Guards. It included classical pieces such as Puccini's "Nessun Dorma" and Handel's "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" as well as contemporary musical pieces, including "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John, and a mix of James Bond songs.
The table at the banquet measured 47.32 meters, equivalent to the length of the Chinese Xi'an Y-20 cargo aircraft. It was decorated with 1452 pieces of silver-plated tableware and 139 candelabras.
The floral arrangements, in shades of pink, red, and yellow, were hand-selected from the seasonal flowers and herbs from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and Savill Garden in the Great Windsor Park. Subsequently, they were donated to the Floral Angels charity, which distributed them to care homes, shelters, and other community organizations.
