Some time ago, King Charles III's curious eating habits came to light. One of the details that drew the most attention is related to his meal times.

According to reports, until relatively recently, the monarch always chose the same breakfast and then didn't eat again until dinner time. In addition, he barely consumed dairy, meat, or fish.

A strict routine that surprised many because of its simplicity and discipline. Now, his wife, Queen Camilla, has managed to become the center of attention for her own culinary choice. This secret has been revealed by her son, Tom Parker.

Away from royal protocols, the young man has shared some personal details about his mother. He has done so in his book Cooking and the Crown: Royal Recipes from Queen Victoria to King Charles III.

In his publication, Tom Parker has revealed certain culinary routines of Queen Camilla and some facts about her tastes at the table. However, what has attracted the most attention is the dish the monarch frequently eats to protect her health.

Many might think that the recipe Queen Camilla turns to so often is complicated or requires great preparation, but nothing could be further from the truth. Porridge, also known as oatmeal porridge, is the dish that is never missing from her diet.

This traditional food from Anglo-Saxon culture consists of a thick porridge made from oat flakes cooked in water or milk. In Queen Camilla's case, she prefers the most natural version, sweetened with honey produced in the family beehives located in Raymill, southwest England.

As we already know, the British royal family opts for organic products in their diet, with special appreciation for wild mushrooms. Therefore, it is not surprising that the sweet touch in the consort's porridge comes from local honey, always respecting proximity and sustainability.
