Royal Family News: Does King Charles Like Avocado?
It had been reported that Charles never ate lunch unless required to do so due to a public appearance in which food was served. According to Christopher Andersen, the author of ‘The King’ the monarch has modified his diet in recent years.
Andersen notes that Charles is now eating lunch based on doctor’s orders and instruction from his second wife, Queen Camilla.
He noted that “The king’s doctors, like Charles himself, are big believers in holistic medicine, and adding avocado to the monarch’s daily diet is right up their alley.”
He told Fox News Digital that Charles once said he didn’t eat lunch because They also shared that Charles prefers to eat avocados on their own, as opposed to smashed on a piece of “I want to go to sleep immediately afterward so I skip it.”
Royal Family News: King Charles Has a New Diet
Instead of having lunch, Charles preferred “a brisk walk” to having lunch and told the BBC that he avoids meat and fish two days a week.
Is Charles a picky eater? According to Andersen, sources told him that the king has “exacting standards.”
He said that “According to a longtime servant, Charles’ breakfast tray always had to contain a cup and saucer to the right with a silver spoon pointing outward at an angle of five o’clock.”
Additionally, “Butter must come in three balls – not pats of butter, but they must be balls of butter, and they must be three in number. They must also be properly chilled, or they are sent back.”
But wait, there’s more! Andersen reports that Charles’ toast “is always on a silver rack, never on a plate. Assorted jam, jellies, marmalades and honey are served on a separate silver tray. The king also insists on round ice cubes in his drinks because he thinks squared cubes are too noisy.
Breakfast also includes cereal and cut fruit – all small portions.”
Charles is such a non-fan of big portions that he allegedly despises U.S. portions which he considers ginormous. Yes, but has he tried supersizing his Happy Meal?

Prince William is speaking out about how he views his role as a public figure.
Ahead of the release of his documentary Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, which tracks the first year of his his Homewards initiative, a new clip released Oct. 16 sees the Prince of Wales, 42, asked the question of what he’d say to people who wonder if he’s the right person to lead efforts to end homelessness.
William carefully considers the question and responds, “Everyone having a right to a safe and stable home benefits us all. I come with no other agenda than desperately trying to help people who are in need, and I see that as part of my role.”
“Why else would I be here if I’m not using this role properly to influence and help people where I can?” he added, before concluding, “I like a big challenge, I do like that, but I can’t do it on my own.”
William, who has followed his late mother Princess Diana’s leadership in the area of homelessness, was raised in the utmost privilege as a royal, with access to palaces and several private homes, but has enlisted several organizations, ranging from local authorities to companies and charities in the U.K., to push to find and share new solutions to tackle the issue.
In another trailer released on Oct. 13, he paid tribute to his late mother, saying, “I’ve slowly tried to work out what can I bring to the role and the platform that I have. I have taken some inspiration and guidance from what my mother did, particularly with homelessness.”
The two-part series premieres on ITV and ITVx on Oct. 30 and Oct. 31.

Prince William launched his Homewards initiative with The Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales in 2023. Homewards seeks to make homelessness “rare, brief and unrepeated” in the next five years, and the prince also aims to show that the crisis isn’t confined to the historic image of someone sleeping on the streets.
In his documentary, William chats with soccer player Fara Williams, who experienced homelessness for six years, according to the BBC. “You played for England and Chelsea whilst you were homeless,” he said.
“I don’t believe we should be living with homelessness in the 21st century,” Prince William concluded the video.

As a child, Prince William and Prince Harry would visit homeless charities with their mother, the late Princess of Wales, who died in 1997. Much of Princess Diana’s work with those experiencing homelessness took place in England. She was a patron of Centrepoint, the U.K.’s leading youth homelessness charity, and Prince William became patron of the same organization in 2005.
Prince William is expected to attend the Centrepoint Awards on Wednesday, Oct. 16, celebrating the remarkable achievements of young people who have transformed their lives after experiencing homelessness.
