King Charles has long been interested in gardening, foraging and growing his own food, and his stepson, Tom Parker Bowles, even declared The King to be an organic farming "hero" in a recent interview with the Telegraph. The monarch focuses on a healthy diet and reportedly abstains from meat and dairy several times a week, but on Monday, June 9, he shared one of his surprising favorite snacks.
While visiting Lancaster Castle, The King met with some businesses who had set up tables to highlight local products, including Butlers' Farmhouse Cheeses. Per the Mirror, he told owner Gillian Hale "that he loves to indulge in eating sheep's cheese on a digestive biscuit." Digestives are cookies made from wheat flour, and while McVitie's makes popular dark and milk chocolate versions, one can assume The King is putting his cheese on a plain biscuit.
