Royal Treats: King Charles’ Unique Breakfast Routine Keeps Chefs on Their Toes

King Charles III has his own preferences for breakfast, according to a former chef who served him. The monarch’s dietary habits are quite particular; he likes his meals composed in a specific way. Former royal chef Darren McGrady elaborated that the instruction was for two plums and a small amount of juice to be placed into a bowl, which would then be sent to the king for breakfast. McGrady described how he would send one plum to ensure it returned undamaged from the dining room. One morning, McGrady decided to send only one plum instead, assuming that the king would take just one. When the staff member informed him that another plum was needed, McGrady realized his mistake and continued sending two plums daily.

Despite King Charles’ apparent satisfaction with this decision, whispers continue about his recent actions, particularly concerning his handling of Prince Andrew’s position in the line of succession. Some royal commentators and critics have questioned whether removing Prince Andrew from the throne is a bold move or a delicate maneuver to salvage the situation for the disgraced prince. In a piece for Hello!, expert Robert Jobson addressed this issue, clarifying that such an act cannot be achieved through royal decree alone. Removing a member of the succession requires legislative action and must be enacted by Parliament, not just in Westminster but across Britain.
