King Charles has reportedly begun eating lunch for the first time in his life as part of his efforts to regain strength during his recovery from cancer treatments. The 75-year-old monarch , who has long viewed lunch as a "luxury" incompatible with his busy schedule, is now reportedly enjoying his favourite food, avocado, during midday meals, according to the Daily Mail. Earlier this year, Charles was diagnosed with cancer.

Following treatment, he is now gradually resuming his public duties. This dietary change appears to be part of his strategy to bolster his energy levels during this transition. The monarch has occasionally been seen enjoying fish and chips but usually prefers to go without - opting as well for darjeeling tea over chocolate and coffee .

In recent years, he has gone further - avoiding meat and fish for two days of the week and dairy as well on one of those as part of his own environmental consideration. He may have started eating a third meal with some reluctance, but according to the Queen (who is said to have persuaded him to start eating lunch) he is feeling better. Last month, a charity worker asked Camilla “Is he OK?” and the Queen replied, “Yes, he’s doing very well.
