Royal Family's method to making the perfect iced coffee
Tom Parker Bowles, 50, recently published a book which offers more than 100 Royal Family recipes - here's what you need to know Queen Camilla's son has revealed a royally endorsed guide to making the perfect iced coffee. Tom Parker Bowles, 50, said the beverage is frequently enjoyed in the royal and main tea tents at garden parties. In his recently published book, Cooking and the Crown, he said: "A Garden Party stalwart, served in both the royal and main tea tents alike. The key is to use good coffee (this is not the time for instant) and not make it TOO sweet." If you're keen to explore Tom's regal recipe, he first advised getting the following ingredients: Double cream Brown sugar Coffee Milk Ice cubes While there are several ways to brew coffee, Tom believes the drip method is among the best. This generally involves running hot water over ground coffee beans through a filter at a very slow pace. The US-based National Coffee Association has explained that such a method is often achievable using a machine and will likely create a consistent "bright-tasting beverage". It said: "The machine does most of the work, and there are a wide range of drip coffee makers available, including many affordable options." Once the coffee has brewed, it should be allowed to cool for a moment before it's added to a blender. At this stage, Tom said you can add some cream, sugar, ice, and milk. "Blend until smooth and pour into two glasses," he wrote. You may be surprised to hear this isn't the only beverage famous among members of the Royal Family. Reports from Hello! and MailOnline suggest the Princess of Wales regularly sips a 'green juice' in the mornings. This concoction is said to include a robust blend of kale, spinach, romaine lettuce, coriander, blueberries, spirulina powder, and just a small teaspoon of matcha powder. Four ingredients are considered 'superfoods', referring to highly nutritious products. Helen Bell, a nutritionist from Help & Advice, previously told the Mirror: "In my experience, the term 'superfood' is often thrown around, but it generally refers to foods that are nutrient-rich and beneficial for health and wellbeing. "In Kate's smoothie, several ingredients could be considered superfoods. For instance, kale, spinach, and spirulina are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. "Blueberries are another example, known for their high antioxidant content. Matcha, a type of green tea, is known for its concentration of catechins, which are natural antioxidants." Tom's book Cooking and The Crown boasts more than 100 recipes from Queen Victoria's reign to our present King Charles III. It includes lavish meals like "Pommes Elizabeth" and "Pudding au Pain et aux Cerises", alongside other simpler classics you can test at home.

King Charles Addresses His Cancer Treatment in a Rare Health Update During Palace Garden Party
King Charles is sharing what "can help" during cancer treatment as his care continues. The King, 76, made the revelation in conversation with Stamford Collis at The Education and Skills Garden Party at Buckingham Palace on May 14. Collins, 22, is a student at Exeter University and is undergoing treatment for cancer. "He was asking me about the treatment I have starting in June and spoke to me about food and diet. He also asked me if I had undergone radiation treatment, which I had earlier this year," Collis said after he met the King, The Telegraph reported. The sovereign was heard saying, "It's sometimes about the diet and what you eat. It can help." King Charles has been called a "foodie" by former royal chefs, and Queen Camilla's food writer son, Tom Parker Bowles, recently revealed that the couple eats 'simple, healthy and resolutely seasonal food." In a piece for The Daily Mail ahead of the release of his book, Cooking and the Crown: Royal Recipes from Queen Victoria to King Charles III, Tom said that the royal's pantry is filled with 'seasonal bounty of the royal estates,' including 'game, beef and lamb,' plus fruits and vegetables like 'peas, strawberries, raspberries and chard." "There is no waste at [King Charles'] table," Tom said. King Charles offered his personal comment at the second royal garden party of the season, which he attended with his wife, Queen Camilla. Buckingham Palace announced in February 2024 that King Charles was diagnosed with cancer and began treatment. Though the King had a procedure to treat a benign enlarged prostate that January, a spokesman clarified he does not have prostate cancer. The King followed doctors' advice to postpone public-facing work for what proved to be a three-month period and resumed forward duties late that April, keeping busy ever since. Palace sources said before Christmas that the King's treatment for cancer would continue into the new year. "His treatment has been moving in a positive direction and as a managed condition the treatment cycle will continue into next year," palace sources said. On March 27, the palace announced that the King was briefly hospitalized following an adverse reaction to his routine cancer treatment. The palace said that the sovereign was admitted to the London Clinic (where he had had the prostate operation) after experiencing "temporary side effects that required a short period of observation in hospital." Sources said that such setbacks are not uncommon, with a royal source describing the scare as "the most minor bump in the road that's very much heading in the right direction."
