King Charles was compelled by Queen Camilla to abandon a long-standing habit post his cancer diagnosis.
King Charles III Embraces a Healthier Lunch Routine
After years of skipping lunch, King Charles III has made a significant change to his dietary habits. In response to his cancer diagnosis and medical advice, the monarch has started eating a light midday snack, specifically half an avocado, a nutrient-packed superfood rich in fiber, healthy fats, and essential nutrients [1][2].
This change, which was made "with some reluctance," is considered crucial to sustain him through the day given his health situation. Previously, King Charles rarely ate lunch, viewing it as a luxury he could not afford amid a busy schedule. Instead, he often continued working or took walks, especially at residences like Highgrove House [1][2].
The avocado was chosen as a convenient, healthy option that aligns with his generally health-conscious eating habits. Alongside this change, King Charles has maintained other specific preferences, such as abstaining from meat and fish two days a week and dairy one day a week [3][4]. However, the major adaptation in his lunch routine stands out as a direct response to his health situation and medical advice [1][2].
Queen Camilla, known for her love of avocados, has played a crucial role in encouraging King Charles to adopt this healthier eating habit. The couple is also noted for their shared interest in growing produce at home [1][2].
In a recent interview with You magazine, Queen Camilla and her eldest child, Tom Parker Bowles, discussed their gardening endeavours [5]. Tom described King Charles as a "true food hero" who champions sustainability in his diet.
Meanwhile, Woman&home's Royal Editor, Emma Shacklock, believes that eating lunch is a good plan for King Charles, as it will help him during the afternoons [6]. King Charles has a preference for organic and seasonal produce, ensuring that nothing is wasted in his diet, and everything is either recycled or used [1][2].
Currently, King Charles III and Queen Camilla are on their annual summer break. The information about King Charles's eating habits was reported by The Mail on Sunday [1][2].
