The British monarch's unique gastronomic preferences have been revealed

During a recent visit to Lancaster Castle as part of his official visit to Lancashire, Britain's King Charles III revealed his unusual food preferences and views on farming.

During a visit to Lancaster Castle, where he attended a ceremony to hand over the keys and met with World War II veterans, King Charles made no secret of his love of certain delicacies. He showed particular interest in sheep's cheese, which was offered to him at an exhibition of local produce. Speaking to farm owner Gillian Hale, he confessed that he likes to eat sheep's cheese with digestive biscuits - an unusual combination that he says he enjoys.

Interestingly, despite his passion for cheese, he has publicly stated that he gives up meat and fish completely two days a week, and dairy products on one of those days. This underlines his commitment to organic and sustainable farming practices, which he has been actively promoting for over 40 years.

King Charles III is one of the most famous supporters of organic farming and eco-friendly products. In 1990, he created his own line of organic products under the brand Duchy Originals, and in 2017, he gave a speech in which he emphasized that the future of humanity directly depends on the development of organic farming. He noted that his own path to organic farming began in the 1980s, when he decided to abandon industrial methods and move to a natural way of farming.

Rumours have circulated for years about the king's unusual eating habits. For example, in 2006, a British journalist claimed that Crown Prince Charles requires the palace kitchen to boil seven eggs for him a day, of which he only eats one to ensure their quality. However, in response to these rumours, a palace spokesman said that this was untrue and that the king had never practised such a practice.

Lancashire business owner Kate Mackin said the King had shown particular interest in regenerative farming and the use of local wool, which was in line with his environmental stance.

During his visit to Lancaster Castle, the King took part in the traditional ceremony of the keys, which has been held since 1851. On this day, he was presented with symbolic keys to the castle, which is an important historical tradition that symbolizes trust and respect. This ceremony was first held in honor of Queen Victoria, and in 2015 - in honor of Queen Elizabeth.

Despite the warm welcome, the king was also expected to be met with protesters. A group of anti-monarchy activists gathered with placards and chanted slogans such as "Not my king," "Abolish the monarchy," and "Give up the duchy."
