The lifelong habit Queen Camilla forced King Charles to break following cancer diagnosis

King Charles III and Queen Camilla during a reception to celebrate the second anniversary of The Reading Room at Clarence House.

For most of his life, King Charles had something of an unusual custom when it came to his eating habits. Unlike many people, the monarch would reportedly rarely stop to eat lunch. Instead, he apparently used to forgo it in favour of continuing with work or taking a stroll around the gardens if he was in Scotland or Highgrove House.

However, after decades of skipping a midday meal, His Majesty has, it’s reported, been tucking into a trendy superfood each lunchtime, albeit with "some reluctance". Since he was diagnosed with cancer last year and started treatment, it's been alleged that Queen Camilla, his aides and doctors have encouraged him to change his ways.
