Prince Charles has taken to social media to reveal one of his favourite breakfast dishes, and some may be surprised by what gets his royal engine running.
The future King marked the end of British Cheese Weekend by sharing the recipe for his "Cheesy Baked Eggs" on the Clarence Housesocial media pages.
On Sunday morning, Clarence House posted the recipe for the egg and cheese number, calling it one of Prince Charles' "favourites".
Clarence House also referred to Prince Charles as a "proud champion of native British Cheese" while the Prince addressed his concerns for the impact the coronavirus pandemic is having on locally produced dairy.
"One thing that undoubtedly brings many of us great comfort is good food. It is, therefore, deeply troubling to learn that this crisis risks destroying one of the most wonderful joys in life – British cheese!", he said.

The dairy-heavy recipe calls for two different kinds of cheese, one soft and one hard, or "any number of our great British cheese," as well as double cream and an egg.
The Duke also enjoys adding in spinach, cherry or sundried tomatoes, a few sprigs of fresh basil leaves and some charcuterie, should he feel like it.
Clarence House also noted that, where possible, organic ingredients are used.
