Queen Camilla's go-to lunch dish is full of health perks and it's easy to make
A recipe enjoyed by the Royal Family has been hailed as a 'powerhouse' of health perks, thanks to the inclusion of a specific vegetable that is often linked to cancer prevention. Tom Parker Bowles has revealed a cherished Royal Family recipe that his mother frequently enjoys for lunch. Known as 'Queen Camilla's Chicken Broth,' this versatile dish comes with two seasonal variations: a robust winter version and a lighter summer one packed with superfoods. In his book, Cooking and The Crown, Tom praised the adaptability of the recipe and encouraged readers to personalise it. "This is Queen Camilla's lunchtime staple," he penned. "In winter, carrots, thinly sliced cabbage and potatoes provide the substance, while in spring and summer, broad beans, peas, spinach and runner beans take their place. But feel free to toss in whatever you fancy, from chopped artichoke hearts, to asparagus, swede, watercress and green beans." For those eager to try some Royal fare, Tom provided the ingredients required for four servings:. Chicken thighs Lemon (for the juice) Dash of salt, Tabasco and pepper Parmesan Chicken stock If you're preparing the summer version, add:. Runner beans Broad beans Spinach Peas Or, for the winter version, add:. Potato Carrot Savoy cabbage Celery stick The cooking process is straightforward. Begin by bringing 1.5 litres of stock to a boil, then reduce the heat by a third. Next, add the chicken, which should be roasted and shredded beforehand, followed by a variety of greens. When the dish is nearly done, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, pepper, and Tabasco can be added according to preference. Helen Bell, a nutrition expert at Help and Advice, highlights that Queen Camilla's recipe is not only adaptable but also high in fibre, which is beneficial for gut health. Furthermore, she highlighted that spinach, a key ingredient in the summer soup, is renowned as a nutritional titan, particularly lauded for its possible benefits in helping to regulate blood pressure. In her discussion with the Express, she detailed: "The ingredient list for [the] chicken broth is quite robust and varied, which can contribute to a well-rounded flavour profile and nutritional content. "Spinach is indeed known for its potential benefits in managing high blood pressure. It is rich in nitrates, which can help dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. I have often recommended incorporating spinach into diets for individuals looking to manage their blood pressure naturally." Further expounding on the virtues of spinach, she added: "Aside from this, spinach is a powerhouse of nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and calcium. Its antioxidant properties make it beneficial for overall health and well-being." Research papers, including one from 2007, even suggest an association between eating spinach and a lowered risk of certain cancers, such as an 'aggressive form of prostate cancer being inversely related to increased spinach consumption'. Nevertheless, Helen pointed out the importance of further investigation, noting: "There is ongoing research into the anti-cancer properties of spinach." She stated: "In my view, incorporating spinach as part of a balanced diet rich in a variety of fruits and vegetables can contribute to overall health and may play a role in reducing the risk of certain cancers. However, it's important to recognise that more research is necessary to understand the extent of these benefits fully." She then added: "I would consider this chicken broth a healthy dish due to its diverse range of ingredients that provide various nutrients. The combination of protein from chicken, vitamins and minerals from the vegetables, and healthy fats from the parmesan creates a nutritionally balanced meal. "However, I always recommend moderating the amount of salt and being mindful of portion sizes to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In my experience, dishes like this can be both nourishing and satisfying if consumed as part of a varied and balanced diet." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Camilla's go-to lunch dish is 'powerhouse' of health benefits
A classic lunchtime meal enjoyed by Queen Camilla has been shared by her son, Tom Parker Bowles Tom Parker Bowles has shared a treasured Royal Family recipe that his mother often tucks into at lunch. Dubbed 'Queen Camilla's Chicken Broth,' this adaptable dish has two seasonal twists: a hearty winter version and a lighter summer one brimming with superfoods. In his book, Cooking & The Crown, Tom lauded the recipe's versatility and urged readers to make it their own. "This is Queen Camilla's lunchtime staple," he wrote. "In winter, carrots, thinly sliced cabbage and potatoes provide the ballast, while in spring and summer, broad beans, peas, spinach and runner beans take their place. But feel free to throw in whatever you like, from chopped artichoke hearts, to asparagus, swede, watercress and green beans." For those keen to sample some regal cuisine, Tom listed the ingredients needed for four servings: Chicken thighs Lemon (for the juice) Dash of salt, Tabasco and pepper Parmesan Chicken stock If you are making the summer meal, add: Runner beans Broad beans Spinach Peas Or, for the winter meal, add: Potato Carrot Savoy cabbage Celery stick The method is simple. Start by bringing 1.5 litres of stock to the boil, then reduce the heat by a third. Next, add the chicken, which should be roasted and shredded beforehand, followed by an assortment of greens. When the dish is almost ready, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, pepper, and Tabasco can be added to taste. Helen Bell, a nutrition expert at Help & Advice, points out that Queen Camilla's recipe is not only flexible, but also high in fibre, which is excellent for gut health. Moreover, she emphasised that spinach, used in the summer variation, is a 'powerhouse' of nutrients, often praised for its potential role in blood pressure control.

"Greetings from Richmond" mural vanishes without warning
The "Greetings from Richmond, Virginia" mural on Broad Street is no more. Why it matters: It was one of the last public displays of the city's 2020 protests, which lasted more than 100 days. Friction point: No one knows why the mural was taken down on Tuesday. Muralists Mickael Broth and Ross Trimmer told Axios they weren't notified and found out on social media. The owner of the flower shop whose building housed the mural said she wasn't alerted either, and showed up to see it being painted over. That leaves the building owners, Ted and Katie Ukrop, who also own Quirk Hotel down the street. They didn't respond to multiple requests for comment from Axios. Catch up quick: The owner of Charm School, an ice cream shop that's now in Forest Hill, commissioned the postcard-style mural in 2016. Muralists Broth and Trimmer updated it four years later, with moments from the uprisings filling in the word "Richmond." The "M" had "BLM" projected onto Confederate Gen. Robert. E. Lee's now-taken-down monument. The "O" and "N" showed when Richmond police pepper sprayed protesters. And the "D" depicted when protesters set a cop car on fire. Zoom in: The mural had become a photo op for the city for nearly a decade. Trimmer acknowledged public art isn't supposed to last, but said this one "meant a lot to a lot of people that were there when things were happening." Broth told Axios he's seen people sharing on social media that they felt like the mural was a fixture in their cityscape. "And now that's gone." What we're watching: It's become commonplace for Black Lives Matter murals to fade away, and the latest could be the one in D.C.

Gene Hackman's costar Gary Sinise says star was living 'quiet life' outside Hollywood before mysterious death
Gary Sinise is just as shocked as the rest of the world after learning about the deaths of his former co-star Gene Hackman, Hackman's wife Betsy and their dog. The Santa Fe County (New Mexico) Sheriff's office told Fox News Digital early Thursday morning, "On February 26, 2025, at approximately 1:45 p.m., Santa Fe County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to an address on Old Sunset Trail in Hyde Park, where Gene Hackman, 95 and his wife Betsy Arakawa, 64, and a dog were found deceased." Sinise, who worked with Hackman in the 1995 film "The Quick and the Dead," told Fox News Digital he woke up early on Thursday and immediately saw the news of Hackman's death. The "CSI: NY" star had several questions. "He's 95 years old, but his wife was in her 60s. So, like, what's going on there? You know, did something happen and was he not doing well?" Sinise wondered. "It just seems very odd that also, their dog is gone. You know, like, what did they do… what happened?" "I think he was painting. He was doing a lot of that and living a quiet life in New Mexico." The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department revealed autopsies were completed on both Hackman and his wife. No external trauma was seen on either the actor or his musician wife. Authorities continue to investigate the couple's deaths as official results of the autopsy and toxicology reports are still pending. Sinise shared that he didn't stay in touch with Hackman after his retirement, but was aware of his "quiet life" in New Mexico with his wife. WATCH: GARY SINISE SAYS GENE HACKMAN WAS LIVING A 'QUIET LIFE' OUTSIDE OF HOLLYWOOD BEFORE HIS DEATH "I know once he retired to New Mexico, he was retired. He did not want to come back and get any awards or, you know, go to any Hollywood events or anything like that. He was done and he was moving on from that part of his life," Sinise told Fox News Digital. "I think he was painting. He was doing a lot of that and living a quiet life in New Mexico." Sinise said Hackman has always been one of his role models. "I just loved his approach. I loved his persona. I loved everything about him. And as time would go on, it was just like Gene never, ever failed. He could be in a movie that might be less successful than the one previous or whatever. But Gene Hackman was always outstanding," he said. "I mean, he just never phoned it in. He was just a really fine actor to model after. I just wanted to be like Gene Hackman, you know, not that I ever turned out to be like Gene Hackman, but I had something to aspire to back then, and he was among my very favorites." WATCH: GARY SINISE SAYS GENE HACKMAN WAS ONE OF HIS BIGGEST INSPIRATIONS Sinise's latest project, "Brothers After War," is a documentary about Iraq war veterans. The project reunites the film's creator, Jake Rademacher, with his brothers after war in the Middle East. Sinise, who is an executive producer on the movie, said Rademacher decided to reunite with his brothers 10 years after his first documentary film, "Brothers At War," debuted. Sinise told Fox News Digital that his foundation wants to help as many service members as possible through the production of this documentary. "Soldiers and service members coming back from war and having a difficult time, it can be very hard. And we all know the difficulties that we've had with suicide in the military and all of that. We want to provide as many healing opportunities and healing services, of the Gary Sinise Foundation, for our service members as possible," he said. WATCH: GARY SINISE HOPES VETERANS SEE HIS NEW MOVIE, 'BROTHERS AFTER WAR' "And I think 'Brothers After War' can have a lot to do with getting our service members to open up about what they're actually feeling, what they've been through. And it can be… a real opportunity for them to share their stories and then move on. We want them all to move on. Just like Lieutenant Dan and Forrest Gump. He goes through a lot of bad stuff. But what's happening? What happens at the end? It's a happy ending for him, and we want the happy ending for everybody who serves in our military and goes off to war and comes home." "Brothers After War" is in theaters now.
