This is what King Charles III and Camilla Parker’s diets look like, according to cookbook author Tom Parker

In a recent article for the Daily Mail, it has been revealed what is the diet of King Charles III and Camilla Parker, according to cookbook author and son of the Queen, Tom Parker, who knows quite well the dietary routine of the monarchs.

Tom assured that the king “Practices what he preaches” and confirmed that usually the monarch’s pantry is full of the “seasonal bounty of the royal estates” and revealed that Charles III “doesn’t eat lunch at all” as he follows an old family tradition in which he substitutes that meal to wait for afternoon tea.

The author of the book explained that the afternoon tea is served religiously at 5 PM and can be accompanied by “Sandwiches filled with chicken, smoked salmon, ham and mustard“. Another option could be “Macaroons, scones, wafers, biscuits, petit fours, pralines, Chelsea buns, and shortbread, along with bridge rolls“, being the king’s favorite option.

As for his mother, Queen Camilla Parker, Tom said she “eats a very light lunch“, revealing that her dishes for the second meal of the day are commonly based on “A bowl of chicken soup” or “some smoked salmon“, and for dinner, both monarchs go for the lightest option of the day, described by the author as “Laid back dinner away from the official pomp and circumstance“.
