During the many years he spent anticipating his reign, King Charles made sure to follow a strict eating plan and consistent workout schedule.

The king, who is 75 years old, received news that he had a type of cancer in February. However, during a recent medical examination, doctors discovered an unrelated problem with his prostate. Fortunately, it was found to be benign.

Although Buckingham Palace stated that the King is still in good spirits, the news was a distressing surprise to the King who values his health greatly.

Although he has temporarily withdrawn from his public responsibilities, he has managed to maintain a remarkably robust state of health thus far - aside from a number of injuries sustained during his long tenure as a polo player, as well as two occurrences of contracting COVID-19 during the ongoing pandemic.

Clarence House disclosed 70 pieces of information in celebration of Prince Charles' 70th birthday, with one of the facts being that he only eats twice a day.

The 20th fact mentioned is this: "The Prince refrains from having lunch."

According to Gordon Rayner, a previous royal reporter at The Telegraph, the King considers lunch to be an unnecessary indulgence that hinders his hectic timetable.

According to Julian Payne, who used to be his press secretary, the King doesn't have lunch. Therefore, when you're traveling with him, it's essential to have a substantial breakfast or some snack bars to stay energized throughout the day. The day itself is quite demanding, starting with tuning in to the radio news headlines and enjoying a breakfast of fresh seasonal fruit salad and seeds with a cup of tea.

It is believed that the King has a liking for bread that is made at home using flours that are high in nutrients, including rye and spelt. Additionally, he seems to enjoy having eggs and a fresh salad alongside his meals.

To give more details, the eggs that are delicately cooked for a brief period of two to three minutes are reportedly his top picks, and he has a liking for crushing them to make a smooth texture similar to mayonnaise.

Prince Charles loves to indulge in food that he collects from his gardens at Highgrove. His preferred choices include wild mushrooms, plums, salmon, and cheese with biscuits.

In a 2021 interview with the BBC, Charles revealed that he refrains from consuming meat and fish for two days every week. Additionally, he avoids consuming dairy products on one of those days.

When Charles was made king, Buckingham Palace advertised for a vegan chef who could reside at the palace and cook meals for the monarch.

In the past, he has explained that he practices veganism from time to time mainly because it helps the environment. He also makes sure not to consume meat that comes from factory farms.

In May of 2023, Delish received remarks from ex-royal chefs Darren McGrady and Carolyn Robb, who stated that the king has an enthusiasm for organic produce.

According to Mr. McGrady and Ms. Robb, Charles had a keen interest in organic produce long before it became popular. They noted that his farm was among the first in the UK to receive organic certification.

It is said that the ruler follows a rigorous exercise regimen in addition to their strict eating plan.

According to an article in The Telegraph last year, Charles completes the Royal Canadian Air Force's 5XB plan - which consists of five fundamental exercises - two times daily.

The fitness plan was created specifically for aviators who require the ability to work out without access to a gym.

The 11-minute exercise routine includes 120 seconds of stretching, 60 seconds of sit-ups, 60 seconds of lifting your legs and back, 60 seconds of push-ups, and 360 seconds of jogging in place. During this time, you should also incorporate 10 eagle jumps after every 75 steps taken.

Prince Harry's memoir, Spare, contains a startling revelation about the King's unique way of coping with chronic pain from old polo injuries- he often did half-naked headstands.

Prince Harry mentioned that his father, Prince Charles, regularly performed these workouts every day. He would wear only his boxers and lean on a door or hang from a bar with impressive acrobat-like skills.

In free English, Queen Camilla shared that her husband loves walking. She spoke about him in 2020, when he was in his early 70s, and said that he's probably the healthiest man his age that she knows.

She stated that he will keep walking incessantly like a creature who inhabits mountains. He outpaces others by several miles.

According to her, King Charles frequently takes lengthy strolls spanning several miles.
