King Charles serving Camilla’s favourite winter breakfast to Royal Sandringham visitors for hefty price
KING Charles is serving his wife’s favourite winter breakfast to Royal Sandringham visitors — porridge with honey at £8.50 a pop.
The monarch, 76, is selling steamy bowls of oats at the Norfolk estate’s restaurant topped with a dollop of the sweet stuff produced by bees kept there.
Visitors can also opt for toppings of strawberry jam or seasonal berries on their oats which experts say help provide slow-release energy and plenty of fibre.
Queen Camilla’s son, Tom Parker Bowles, revealed previously that porridge made from Scottish oats, milk and cream and topped with honey is her go-to winter brekkie.
Food critic Tom, 50, shared the recipe in his latest cookbook, Cooking & the Crown, which covers the royal family’s history of food.
He said: “In winter, my mother eats porridge every day — plain, aside from a little of her own honey.”
He also revealed that Charles and Camilla, 77, enjoyed picking mushrooms.
Another breakfast menu choice at Sandringham is the portobello variety in a filo pastry basket for £12.50.
Other options include a £14 fry-up, grilled pancakes for £10.95, a triple cheese scone at £5.50 and a bacon, sausage and egg sarnie for £7.25.
Royal fanatic Matt Moore told The Sun: “It’s a wheeze eating the grub on the royal estate enjoyed by the King and Queen themselves.
“Mind you, it costs the crown jewels so needs to be savoured.”
BAL-MORE-AL TO PAY
TICKET prices to tour rooms in the royals’ Balmoral Castle have increased this year.
King Charles has raised the price from £100 to £110, and £150 to £170 if afternoon tea is included.
Guests get to eat in “an exact replica of the setting” used by the royals.
Tickets to tour the Scottish castle first went on sale last year and sold out in minutes.
