Kate Middleton's two breakfast 'everyday' staples and 'heavy dinner'
The Princess of Wales is known to be a fan of healthy eating but still enjoys carbing up to the max in the evening
The Princess of Wales is renowned for her enthusiastic participation in a wide array of activities during her Royal engagements. Kate is often seen diving into action, whether it's running races, getting her hands dirty with gardening, playing hockey, or even trying her hand at taekwondo when she visits events involving children or sports.
She also never fails to impress with her sartorial choices – at the Trooping the Colour, Kate turned heads in an aquamarine Catherine Walker dress coat with striking ivory contrast lapels and cuffs. Complementing her outfit was a matching wide-brimmed hat by Juliette Botterill, worn as she shared a carriage ride with her daughter, Princess Charlotte.
Her accessories included Queen Elizabeth's Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings, which are a favourite of Kate's, having been worn at the Qatar State Visit and on Remembrance Sunday. She also sported the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch on her jacket.
Being so active and always looking impeccable means that Kate follows a diet that provides plenty of energy. She is a known advocate of the Mediterranean diet, which focuses on plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes, along with moderate amounts of lean protein from fish and poultry, low-fat dairy products, and healthy fats like olive oil.
This diet minimises red meat and sweet treats. In addition to her healthy eating habits, Kate is said to "love" preparing carb-heavy roast chicken for family meals and has a penchant for spicy vegetable curries.
Kate is an enthusiast of high-impact weight training workouts and dedicates herself daily to fitness without the aid of a personal trainer, ensuring she gets ample protein for maximum benefits. Nikkita Hope-Brown, a certified PT and proprietor of Found, a women-focused strength training studio in London, underscored the importance of protein to HELLO! magazine: "You cannot build muscle without the building blocks, which is protein."
Protein is likened to the essential bricks for constructing muscle, as explained by Nikkita, who offered an analogy: "To give a metaphor, proteins are the bricks that makeup the wall, and strength training is the actual bricklaying. You cannot build a house without the actual bricks or someone doing the work of laying the bricks - you need to have both. How much protein we need depends on our goals and body, for muscle growth, typically 1.5 - 2g of protein for every kilogram we weigh."
Echoing a similar sentiment, Kate Rowe-Ham, a fitness coach and founder of Owning Your Menopause, shared this wisdom: "You can't out-train a poor diet. Muscles are built in the gym but need to recover and transform in the kitchen. To support muscle growth and recovery, it is essential to consume a high-protein diet, especially after a workout."
Kate advocated for a rounded approach to nutrition: "Include whole foods rich in fibre, healthy fats, and complex carbs to fuel your workouts and stabilise hormones."
The Royal is reportedly a fan of starting her day with a green smoothie, much like her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle. Her blend includes spinach, kale, blueberries and matcha.
She's also known to kick off her mornings with a bowl of slow-burning energy oats, or rolled oats, which she often pairs with milk or yoghurt and tops with fruits, nuts, cinnamon, and nut butter.
Her lunch typically features salads and fruit bowls, with an emphasis on foods that enhance skin health, such as watermelon salads and gazpacho. For an afternoon pick-me-up, she enjoys berries blended with almond milk and generally prefers lighter meals during the day.
According to the Daily Mail, Kate also leans towards raw dishes like watermelon salads, gazpacho, goji berries, tabbouleh and ceviche for their skincare benefits. However, she doesn't shy away from heartier, traditional English dinners like big roasts and curries.
Kate's daily food diary.
Breakfast: A green smoothie is a staple, blending kale, spinach, spirulina, matcha, romaine lettuce, coriander, and blueberries. Alternatively, a bowl of slow-burn energy oats.
Lunch: Salads and fruit bowls are favourites, with a special focus on skin-boosting foods like watermelon salads, gazpacho, and tabbouleh. She also enjoys ceviche.
Dinner: While she favours lighter meals during the day, Kate relishes traditional English meals or carb-rich options for tea like roast dinners and curries.
Snacks: Olives and popcorn are said to be her go-to snacks.
Beverages: The Duchess is fond of smoothies and is also known to enjoy ginger tea.
While Middleton hasn't confessed to any specific eating habits, sources report that she avoids:
Dairy
Seafood when travelling (as per royal protocol)
Hashtags

Kate and William facing huge Prince George decision as 'reality hits home'
The summer holidays are fast-approaching for the Royal Family - and the time away from school this year will be particularly poignant for Prince George and the Prince and Princess of Wales The summer holidays will be a chance for the Princess of Wales to spend precious time with her family before her three children begin a brand new school year. And this summer will be one Kate will especially want to savour as huge changes are on the horizon — not least for Prince George. Kate and Prince William 's eldest child turns 12 on 22 July, and when he returns to class in September, it will be his last year at Lambrook School alongside his younger siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, before heading off to secondary education. Recently, George, who is second in line to the throne, has been making more public appearances as he edges closer to his teenage years — and at each one he is being gently guided by Kate. As he turns 12, as well as the prospect of joining a new school next year, George is of an age when "the reality of his destiny has begun to hit home" according to former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond. Jennie tells the Mirror: "He tends to look rather serious when he's 'on parade' these days. Charlotte looks demure, Louis looks impish, but George sometimes looks rather preoccupied to me. And who can blame him? It is an extraordinary prospect to know that one day you will be taking on the huge role that you are now watching your grandfather perform. "But he's not, by any means, always a serious little chap. When he's with his dad at a football match, or fooling around with his siblings and his father, he has a wonderful smile on his face, and seems happy and relaxed." In May, George completed his most high-profile royal outing to date when he attended commemorations to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day. Alongside Charlotte and Louis, he mingled with veterans to watch a military parade, and made an appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the RAF flypast. In a major step when it comes to his royal life, he joined his parents in chatting to Second World War heroes at a Buckingham Palace tea party. He listened intently to their important stories and asked questions about their experiences. He was led around the engagement by Kate, 43, who beckoned him over to talk to the former servicemen and women, putting her eldest son at ease. The veterans at the event spoke of how impressed they were with the young prince asking questions about their wartime experiences. Last month, George also joined his grandfather, King Charles, for Trooping the Colour, riding in a carriage and, once again, appearing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for another impressive RAF flypast. Of course, George doesn't have to walk this path alone, with Kate and William with him every step of the way as he approaches his teenage years. Even though his public profile will only increase, George's parents are determined for him and his siblings to have as normal an upbringing as possible. This means completing his education like any other young boy, attending football matches with William to watch their beloved Aston Villa, and only appearing at the most prestigious of royal events. In many ways, it is a far cry from his father's teenage years, when William and his younger brother, Prince Harry, split their time between their separated parents when they weren't at boarding school. Then, aged 15 and 12, the boys faced terrible tragedy when they lost their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, after she died following a car crash in Paris in 1997. However, nobody knows more about how important a child's early years are in shaping their later lives than Kate — something she has, no doubt, put into practice with her own children. Jennie says: "I think George's close and loving relationship with his parents will prove invaluable as he continues to grow up. Catherine is now such an expert on how children develop and the emotions they go through: her support and advice for George will continue to be a key factor in his wellbeing." One royal who, Jennie believes, will have set an example on how to raise a future King is the mother-in-law Kate never met — Diana. Her approach to parenting, which completely ripped up the royal rule book, saw her insist that William and Harry were shown a life outside of palace walls, while at the same time ensuring they both understood the enormity of their positions. She memorably took her sons to McDonald's, forced them to wait in line like everybody else during days out at theme parks, and even took them to homeless shelters to expose them to life outside the royal bubble. Those childhood visits clearly had an effect on William, now 43, who has publicly declared his ambition is to end homelessness and admits he, too, would be open to taking George to meet those who are experiencing homelessness. Jennie believes that Diana's approach, as well as allowing her children to be normal boys, will have no doubt been an influence on William — and, in turn, Kate — regarding how to raise George. She adds: "I think William has drawn on the openly loving and tactile relationship he had with his mother to help him bring up his own children. "He will remember how Diana insisted that her boys should know more about the real world than royal princes before them. She made them aware of having play days and work days. On play days they could wear jeans, eat burgers and enjoy go-karting. On work days they had to dress and behave as princes of the realm. "I think William has made sure that his own children have as many play days as possible, but he and Catherine have also gradually introduced them to the formal world of being royal." The coming weeks are likely to see speculation ramp up about which secondary school George will attend, and Jennie believes it will be a tough decision for William and Kate, who will be considering what is best for Charlotte and Louis as well. "For so many youngsters, teenage years can be hard, but for a prince, everything is a whole lot harder," she says. 'First and foremost, the school has to be able to offer or accommodate 24/7 protection. Then there is the impact on other pupils because, like it or not, George will always be different. "I suppose Eton remains high on the list — for William the school was a haven at a very, very difficult time in his life following his mother's death — but Marlborough College is definitely another contender. "Catherine enjoyed her years there, especially the sports facilities, and a big plus must be that it is co-educational, so the other two children could join George there." Both schools boast impressive alumni, with Prince Harry also attending Eton, along with prime ministers such as David Cameron and Boris Johnson, and actors Eddie Redmayne and Tom Hiddleston. Meanwhile, former Marlborough pupils include Princess Eugenie, comedian Jack Whitehall and Samantha Cameron, the wife of former Prime Minister David Cameron. "Personally, I would like to see the siblings at the same school because I think they would be a great comfort to one another during these tricky years,' says Jennie. "I would also like to see them at a day school, or as weekly boarders, so that they could still enjoy the lovely, cosy home environment that William and Catherine have worked so hard to create for them." And avoiding prying eyes will be important, she stresses. "William was given a good deal of privacy at Eton, especially after Diana's death. And I think he will do everything possible to make sure that George and the others are able to negotiate this important growing up stage of their lives without worrying that cameras are around every corner." But it's clear that when it comes to the big decision, Kate will no doubt put what's best for George first — with Jennie saying he couldn't be more prepared for his future, thanks to his mother and father. She says, 'I think George is pretty lucky to have these two as his parents. And if Catherine needs advice, then I think the best person she can turn to is her husband — who is living out the very same destiny himself.'

EXCLUSIVE I'm a VIP hostess for footballers in Ibiza like Jude Bellingham, Wayne Rooney, and Frank Lampard - but here's one major problem you didn't know England's favourite stars face
A VIP hostess who helps organise luxury holidays for footballers in Ibiza has spilled the details on their swanky getaways. Alis Moore, a director at Faith Concierge, has been working in the luxury experience sector ever since becoming pals with Wayne Lineker eight years ago. She's brushed shoulders with the great and good of English football including Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, John Terry, and Kieran Trippier - and even shared a recent snap with Jude and Jobe Bellingham. Initially she worked in a more hands-on role - doing stars' shopping, taking them to the best beach clubs, getting them on their boats - but she has since graduated to a role upstairs and oversees a crew of 10 hostesses. Faith has deals with around 200 rentable boats around the Spanish island, with the cheapest costing around £1,000 per day, and the most expensive soaring to £20,000 for the players who want the grooviest parties. But it turns out the stars often do prefer substance over style - at least when it comes to what cars they zip around in. 'We do offer Ferraris and Lamborghinis, but in Ibiza the players want to take their friendship groups so it's about the bigger cars,' Alis tells Mail Sport. 'The G-wagons and Range Rovers are always popular! 'We usually put together the itinerary for them. Because we've been here so long, we know the best places to go. So we'll tailor-make it for them. 'Some of them want to party for 10 days straight! 'But some of them want to come for a chilled time with their family, it's not just the party stuff. A lot of them just want a relaxing holiday and to stay out of the limelight. 'The island caters to everybody - there's an amazing standard of food and hotels. All the best international DJs are here every night of the week.' One man who has contributed to Ibiza's boom in popularity among footballers more than most is Wayne Lineker. In 2012, he launched the party resort Ocean Beach - known as O Beach - famed for its poolside parties and DJ performances. Arne Slot was seen living it up there last month, following the Reds' Premier League triumph, and even got a cheeky kiss on the cheek by Lineker. Meanwhile, the Bellingham brothers enjoyed several beverages with their pals, and Lineker, as they sat in an exclusive VIP area. Jack Grealish is a regular at Ocean Beach with Lineker once joking about the prospect of a four-week loan deal for the Manchester City man at his beach club, following his omission from the England Euro 2024 squad. And it is believed that YouTuber KSI spent a whopping £51,000 on 600 bottles of champagne during his trip to Ocean Beach in June 2023. Don't scratch your eyes, that is a real sentence. It's not all fun and games, though. There is a serious side to the pleasure - security. Alis tells Mail Sport: 'A lot of footballers get targeted by organised crime out here. If people see footballers out in the clubs spending lots of money, they can get targeted. 'People follow them home and there have been robberies in the past. 'If I know we've got a big name coming out, first of all, we would only ever put them in a villa where we trust the owner. We have lots of our properties exclusively - you won't find them on AirBnB or other websites. If you were to book them, it's quite easy for someone to copy the keys. 'We do a lot of private villas so they're not as easily accessible. We can also provide 24/7 villa security and personal, but a lot of them fly out with their own. 'It's not as bad nowadays but it was more dangerous after Covid. A lot of people were having their watches and jewellery stolen and there were villa robberies. It's not as bad now as it was a few years ago. They can relax more and enjoy themselves.' Mail Sport asks if Alis has encountered any particularly bizarre requests from footballers. The answer is no, but she does admit that players sometimes break the bank with precious marriage proposals for their partners. 'We did one last week, the footballers love to be over the top and extravagant,' she says. 'We had a proposal where the beach club messaged saying it was so over the top! It was a massive display with flowers on the beach and they said to us to not do it as big as it was a distraction for everyone in the restaurant!'

Queen Camilla's telling Wimbledon remark that laid Royal Family drama bare
Queen Camilla paid a surprise visit to Wimbledon last year amid a tumultuous time for the Royal Family - and during her day out at the tennis she made a telling remark If there's one sporting tournament that's guaranteed to bring in a royal crowd - it's Wimbledon. The tennis grand slam tournament returns for another year on Monday and regular royal spectators usually include the Princess of Wales, Zara and Mike Tindall - and even Queen Camilla. Last year, she made an unnannounced visit to the All England Club to watch the quarter finals action from the Royal Box on Centre Court with her sister Annabel Elliot. The outing came during a tumultuous time for Camilla, who during the early part of 2024 had been keeping the royal show on the road while her husband King Charles and Kate took time out from public duties as they were both diagnosed with cancer. But amid the worrying time, she was able to relax somewhat on a day out at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, where she wore a cream linen dress featuring large giraffe motifs by Anna Valentine, with a Jack Russell brooch from Van Cleef and Arpels. On arriving at the championships, she met former player Laura Robson, who works in international player relations. And tellingly the Queen told her about her day out that it was it was "so nice to be able to escape for a day". Meanwhile, Camilla also praised head gardener Martyn Falconer, who has worked at Wimbledon for 25 years and cares for all the plants around the grounds. "It all looks fantastic. It always looks absolutely perfect," she told him. She also met another Camila – the daughter of Mexican doubles player Santiago Gonzalez – after the youngster boldly introduced herself to the royal guest. The Queen said "fancy having two Camillas here" and asked if she would like a picture together, and had a peek at Camila's Wimbledon pass by holding her lanyard to read it. She spent time chatting to ball girl Natalia, from Burntwood School in Wandsworth, and ball boy Yug, from Harris Academy Wimbledon, asking them which courts they worked on and how much they had been enjoying the experience. It has not been confirmed yet if Kate is set to attend SW19 during the Wimbledon fortnight this year as she is still gradually returning to royal duties following her cancer treatment. Confusion was sparked last week when it was announced that Kate, who is in remission from cancer, would not be attending the second day of Royal Ascot festival. It came after her name originally appeared on the official list of those taking part in a carriage procession alongside her husband Prince William as well as the King and Queen. When it was confirmed that she would not be attending, sources said she is still trying to find the right balance following her cancer diagnosis and subsequent chemotherapy treatment.
