The good news is January is nearly over, but the bad news is that chilly mornings aren’t going away anytime soon. Cozy breakfasts are the best way to start the grey, dreary days, and it seems that Princess Kate and Queen Camilla agree. The two royal women both love a comforting bowl of porridge to start their day, and the simple bowl of nourishment is perfect for winter mornings.
In Robert Jobson’s book, Catherine, The Princess of Wales, he reported that “Catherine is said to favour slow-burn energy oats for breakfast,” referring to rolled oats that are higher in fiber. Princess Kate’s sister, Pippa Middleton, revealed in an interview with iNews that she has always loved a warm bowl of oatmeal. As children, they enjoyed breakfasts that consisted of “lots of porridge or boiled eggs with soldiers,” although the princess’s younger sister now prefers “plain yogurt with chopped fruit and toasted seeds, oats and nuts.”
