What Queen Camilla cooks for King Charles in their relationship
Tom was speaking to HELLO! at Castle Hotel in Windsor at an event to promote his latest book, Cooking & The Crown.
When asked what the king thinks of Camilla’s cooking, Tom said: “I don’t think she cooks for him, I’ll be honest. They have a team of very good chefs.
“Actually, she does. He likes good – I don’t want to speak out of turn here – but scrambled eggs and smoked salmon… who doesn’t like scrambled eggs or roast chicken?”
He added: “So it would be something that we’d eat, definitely. But I don’t think there’s a lot of ‘honey, I’m home, what’s for dinner?’ I think it’s a bit more planned than that.”

I don’t think there’s a lot of ‘honey, I’m home, what’s for dinner?’ I think it’s a bit more planned than that.
However, it seems he has changed the habit after orders from his wife Queen Camilla, royal aides and his doctors following his cancer diagnosis.
According to the Daily Mail, Charles now enjoys “half an avocado” at lunchtime.
An insider said: “With some reluctance, he now has something to eat at lunchtime – a snack, really. He now eats half an avocado to sustain him through the day. It’s important, particularly if you have got an illness.”
Meanwhile, Mervyn Wycherley – who worked at the palace as a chef for 33 years – said Charles and Camilla “love simple foods, but always very good quality foods”.
