SHOCKING: King Charles Has the Most Surprisingly Frugal Mealtime Rule…see more

before he ascended to the throne, things have apparently changed behind the golden gates of Buckingham Palace.

According to Queen Camilla’s son, food critic and author Tom Parker-Bowles, the monarch has a strict rule when it comes to mealtime—and it’s not about caviar or Champagne.

Apparently, Charles won’t stand for wasting food and requests that any leftovers get served the next day or used again in another meal.

“It’s not the king just paying lip service, he practices what he preaches,” Parker-Bowles shared, before noting that the king has a fascination with food at every stage, from farm to table.

“He really is a food hero. To talk to him about the strange varieties of plums or pears or anything else is endlessly fascinating.”
