King Charles III currently keeps a very busy institutional schedule, with numerous official events. The monarch faces this intense pace by relying on habits that strengthen his health and well-being. Among them, his daily breakfast stands out, a routine that provides him with the energy needed to fulfill all his obligations.
Those who know him emphasize that he is a methodical man, with very defined habits and little room for improvisation. That discipline has been essential for him to face his lifestyle and keep the energy needed. Among his firmest customs, his breakfast stands out, a ritual that is repeated every day.
The secrecy of private life at Buckingham
The details of daily life at Buckingham usually remain absolutely secret. The control over the personal information of the Windsors is strict, and aspects of their private life are rarely known. Only the testimonies of their closest circle manage to break that wall of discretion.
Queen Camilla's son, Tom Parker Bowles, has revealed one of those details in his book Cooking and the Crown. The work includes recipes and culinary customs of the British royal family. Among them, the gastronomic routine of King Charles III and his wife Camilla stands out.
The author describes in detail what the dish they both share every morning is like. He explains that he has tried it at several official residences of the royals. The account provides a different view of the monarchs, showing them at the table in a more intimate and everyday setting.
The breakfast that obsesses King Charles III
The famous royal breakfast consists of a particular omelet with fine herbs. Its base is three eggs, accompanied by English and Dijon mustard, essential ingredients to achieve the desired texture. Parsley, tarragon, pepper, and, occasionally, Gruyere cheese or mushrooms are added.
The secret, according to Parker Bowles, lies in the preparation method. The oil must be neutral, and the cooking time short, with the mushrooms and cheese added at just the right moment. The result is a nutritious, flavorful dish with the balance the monarchs seek.
King Charles incorporated this breakfast into his routine some time ago, specifically during his illness. Since the monarch announced that he had cancer, he has paid special attention to taking care of his diet. Now he is firmly committed to healthy dishes that strengthen his well-being and fortify his body.
A healthy and energizing recipe
Despite how hearty it may seem, experts consider it a healthy breakfast. Its high content of protein, potassium, and vitamins makes it a balanced and beneficial dish for health. The British press even describes it as "ideal for weight loss."
Nutritionist Helen Bell has highlighted in statements to The Mirror the benefits of eggs in weight control diets. According to her, their protein content increases the feeling of fullness and helps keep energy for hours. This effect is key for those who follow demanding routines.
