The Prince of Wales revealed his daily diet during a trip to Cornwall – and said he drinks three cups of tea because Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis ‘keep him up.’
The Duke of Cornwall, 40, made his first official visit to the county since taking on his new role yesterday – and during the visit at Newquay Orchard, he wrote a nutrition sheet that he eats two eggs and wholemeal toast with butter for breakfast.
Meanwhile he told nutritionist Monique Hyland he had a ‘rubbish’ sandwich for lunch, before having fish and mushrooms for dinner.
He also revealed he doesn’t drink coffee, but has three cups of tea each day because the ‘kids’ can keep him up and he ‘needs more cups of tea to keep him going.’

He made the confessions during a visit to the Newquay Orchard, which offers environmental education, employability training and community events.
He explained he has a healthy start to the day by eating two eggs and wholemeal toast with butter.

But for lunch he said he ate a ‘slightly manky looking sandwich’ with a glass of water.
He said: ‘Not particular interesting lunch!’
Prince William went on to say he was likely to have a dish like white fish with mushrooms for dinner.
He said he ‘doesn’t drink coffee’ so drinks ‘two or three cups of tea’ a day, as well as enoying snacks like bananas and cholate biscuits or brownies.
Meanwhile he added he might have a glass of red wine each day.
He ended his summary by adding he wished he was saying something more interesting, joking he might drink a ‘shot of sambuca’.
William was shown around the site by Mr Berkeley and met staff, volunteers, children and young people during an hour-long visit.
The project was founded eight years ago by Luke Berkeley in the north Cornish town on land owned by the Duchy of Cornwall.
The orchard currently works with over 120 volunteers each week, who take stewardship of the land, and as well as growing a range of fruit vegetables there is a community cafe that sells much of the produce.
He was taken on a tour of the workshops, shown around ‘An Lowarth’ – Cornish for ‘garden’ – and walked through polytunnels containing produce.
The Duke also met staff working in the educational area where people are trained in cooking, gardening and other practical skills.
Mr Berkeley, who is chief executive of the orchard, said he was ‘really, really proud’ William had chosen the project his first official engagement in Cornwall in his new role.
‘We had a visit from The King a couple of months ago and we feel enormously privileged to be thought of in this way,’ Mr Berkeley said.
‘We have had a lot of support from the Duchy which we are very thankful for. The King has always been very supportive and clearly without him we would not be here.
‘William was very interested in hearing about the work we do and is passionate about young people, the environment and mental health.’
He added: ‘It really was a lovely visit and William spent the time to speak with people who have supported the project and those that engage with the work we do here.
‘The reaction he got from people – the enjoyment and the smiles – will stay with me for a long time.’
While in Cornwall, the Duke visited Duchy offices to meet staff as he takes forward the stewardship of the estate.
William became the heir apparent and became known as the Prince of Wales, after the death of his grandmother and the accession of his father, Charles, to become the King.
William also inherited the title Duke of Cornwall and is now the Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge.
Kate is now known as the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge.
