Being the King of the United Kingdom, it would be believed that Charles III would have all kinds of foods at his disposal at Buckingham Palace, however the reality is a little different, since certain foods and meals are prohibited.
It was recently confirmed that the King’s palate is very demanding, this is due to the dinner at the Palace of Versailles when the monarch banned a meal that now cannot be served in any royal residence, it is foie gras.
With the ban of this dish, the British monarch confirmed his commitment to the preservation of the environment and his opposition to the consumption of foie gras due to the animal suffering involved in its preparation.
King Charles III also eliminated asparagus from his menu, even though it was the main ingredient in many dishes, since he is opposed to consuming products produced artificially or that are not grown nearby, and September is not its cultivation season.
Furthermore, it has also been stated that Queen Elizabeth did not approve of there being potatoes, pasta and rice in the Palace, a fact that her son has maintained since the day of her death, just as he cannot stand chocolate and coffee either.
On the other hand, there is a food that the late queen hated and currently her son too, it is garlic and this was due to its scent and taste. Others that should be served in few portions are onion and paprika to ensure good digestion.
Finally, royals are prohibited from eating seafood outside the palace, and this was explained by butler Grant Harold to Woman & Home magazine: “We don’t want a member of the royal family to have a serious intoxication” during an event or visit abroad.
What do you think of these prohibitions that King Charles III has for the consumption of his food?
