Tom Bower wrote in his 2018 book 'Rebel Prince' that the King (who was Prince Charles at the time) "shrieked" and "trembled" the first time he interacted with cling film (better known as Saran Wrap in the U.S.) when it covered his dinner.

A Royal Shriek Over Cling Film!
Imagine the scene: the future King of England, strolling into the dining room, only to be stopped dead in his tracks by... Saran Wrap? Yes, you read that right! Then Prince Charles, was utterly flabbergasted upon encountering cling film for the first time, covering his dinner.
"He walked into the dining room and shrieked," Bower wrote, via 'The Mirror'. "Fearing the worst, Camilla dashed in after him. ‘What’s this?’ asked her husband, pointing at the food." "It’s cling film, darling," she replied, as per Bower's book, which claims that the monarch was disconnected from the ordinary world.
This revelation is making the rounds online again as new details about the King's diet have been made public.
The king usually doesn't lunch. According to his stepson Tom Parker Bowles' forthcoming cookbook 'Cooking and the Crown: Royal Recipes from Queen Victoria to King Charles III,' is now embracing a midday meal.
The King "doesn't eat lunch at all," Parker Bowles, 49, writes, instead enjoying a "relaxed" afternoon tea at 5 p.m. of "macaroons, scones, wafers, biscuits, petit fours, pralines, Chelsea buns and shortbread, along with bridge rolls, crumpets, poached eggs on toast, potted shrimps and sandwiches" packed with "chicken, smoked salmon, ham and mustard."
Beyond the cling film fiasco, new details about King Charles III's diet have emerged, painting a picture of royal dining habits that are as unique as they are fascinating.
The monarch's lunch habits have since shifted, however. Amid his cancer treatment, the King has added a midday meal to his diet. A source told the 'Daily Mail' that "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," the source continued.
However, in a surprising twist, the King has recently introduced a midday meal into his routine, amidst his ongoing cancer treatment. A humble half an avocado now sustains him through his royal duties, a stark contrast to the lavish spreads of his teatime.
King Charles III has long been known for his interest in culinary arts, particularly in relation to organic and sustainable food practices. His passion for gardening and healthy eating is evident in the various gardens he has cultivated over the years, including the organic garden at Highgrove, his country residence.
This garden not only provides fresh produce for his family but also serves as a model for sustainable practices, showcasing his commitment to environmentally friendly agriculture.
In the kitchen, Charles has developed a fondness for cooking and experimenting with recipes that highlight seasonal ingredients. His love for traditional British dishes reflects his desire to preserve culinary heritage while also embracing modern twists. He has often shared his culinary experiences, promoting the idea that cooking can be both enjoyable and a means of connecting with the land and community.
His advocacy for local, organic food not only demonstrates his personal preferences but also aligns with his broader environmental goals, making his kitchen endeavors a reflection of his values and dedication to sustainability.

Despite their high-profile status, King Charles and Queen Camilla prefer their dinners "laid back," away from the "official pomp and circumstance" that one might expect from royal banquets. This preference for simplicity and comfort, even in their dining habits, offers a glimpse into the personal lives of the royals that is both endearing and relatable.
