Kate Middleton is said to eat the same healthy breakfast every single day, according to a royal author. The Princess of Wales is getting back on her feet after she underwent preventative chemotherapy after cancer cells were found during a medical procedure.
The 43-year-old is slowly returning to royal duties following her health scare last year. In November, she announced she had finished chemotherapy treatment and said that her focus was “staying cancer free” in a candid family video.
The mum-of-three has spoken regularly about her interest in fitness, including her previous love of playing tennis, and it seems her diet is in-keeping with her healthy lifestyle. Her diet has been heavily reported over the years, with her day-to-day meals said to be heavily focused on fruit and vegetables.

For breakfast, she is thought to regularly enjoy a bowl of slow-burn energy oats, which is perfect to match the demands of a busy mum. Royal author, Robert Jobson wrote, in his book ‘Catherine, The Princess of Wales’, that healthy eating remains part of Prince William and Kate’s daily regime.
He said: “Catherine is said to favour slow-burn energy oats for breakfast and both are light eaters at lunch, enjoying salads and fruits. She also has healthy snacks and once told a child at Great Ormond Street Hospital that she ate a lot of olives.
“Given her model figure, her sweet tooth is a surprise to some and apparently she loves sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Neither of them are big drinkers; William favours a pint of cider over beer and Catherine’s aperitif of choice is a gin and tonic.”
Oatmeal, otherwise known as porridge, is known for being a ‘superfood’ and can help to lower cholesterol. Oats can help keep you fuller for longer, which can stop you snacking or overeating, SurreyLive reports.
A 40g bowl of rolled oats contains around 3g of fibre making it a healthy way to start the day. Fibre works in the body by slowing down the rate at which cholesterol is absorbed in the bloodstream while also increasing the amount of cholesterol that is excreted through fecal lipids, bile and bile acids.
Soluble fibre, which oats are an excellent source of, is known as beta-glucan which lowers cholesterol by binding to cholesterol-rich bile acids in the gut. According to Healthline, oats are also packed full of thiamine, phosphorus, magnesium, and B vitamins such as niacin and folate. Together they collectively collaborate to assist your body in energy metabolism.
