This diet focuses on plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes, as well as moderate amounts of lean protein from fish and poultry, low-fat dairy products, and healthy fats such as olive oil, while limiting red meat and sweets. Moreover, Kate is said to "love" preparing roast chicken for family meals and has a fondness for spicy vegetable curries, reports Cambridgeshire Live. Kate is known for her love of high-impact weight training workouts, and she exercises daily without a personal trainer, ensuring she gets enough protein for maximum benefits. Nikkita Hope-Brown, a certified PT and owner of Found, a women-only strength training studio in London, told HELLO: "You cannot build muscle without the building blocks, which is protein." She explained: "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." Fitness coach and founder of Owning Your Menopause, Kate Rowe-Ham, echoed this sentiment: "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 advised: "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 Meghan Markle, her sister-in-law. This healthful concoction typically includes spinach, kale, blueberries and matcha. She's also known to kick-start her mornings with a bowl of slow-burning energy oats, or rolled oats, which she often pairs with milk or yoghurt, adding fruits, nuts, cinnamon, and nut butter for extra flavour. Her midday meals usually comprise salads and fruit bowls, with an emphasis on foods that enhance skin health, such as watermelon salads and gazpacho. An afternoon pick-me-up might be berries blended with almond milk, and she generally prefers lighter meals during the day. According to the Daily Mail, Kate has a penchant for raw dishes like watermelon salads, gazpacho, goji berries, tabbouleh and ceviche due to their skincare benefits. However, when it comes to dinner, she enjoys heartier, traditional English fare such as big roasts and curries. Here's a glimpse into Kate's daily food routine:. Breakfast: A staple green smoothie blending kale, spinach, spirulina, matcha, romaine lettuce, cilantro, and blueberries, or alternatively, a bowl of slow-burn energy oats. Lunch: Salads and fruit bowls are favourites, with a special focus on skin-beneficial foods like watermelon salads, gazpacho, and tabbouleh. Ceviche is also a preferred choice. Dinner: While she leans towards lighter meals during the day, Kate relishes traditional English meals or carb-rich options for tea, such as roast dinners and curries. Snacks: Olives and popcorn are said to be her go-to snacks. Beverages: She's a fan of smoothies, and is also known to sip on ginger tea.

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."

100th birthday celebrations for Ashgill resident Margaret
Margaret Harrower, who served as a Land Girl during World War II, was joined by family and special guests on her special occasion Birthday girl Margaret Harrower had a celebration fit for a centenarian as she marked her 100th birthday with a royal seal of approval. The resident at Ashlea Court care home in Ashgill received a card from King Charles and Queen Camilla to mark her extra-special birthday, along with commemorative gifts from two namesakes – deputy lord lieutenant of Lanarkshire Margaret Morton and South Lanarkshire provost Margaret Cooper. Described by family and care home staff as 'a remarkable woman', great-grandmother Margaret served as a Land Girl during World War II and proudly showed her service medal on her birthday; and shared her advice to 'enjoy life and make the most of what you have'. The youngest of five children, Margaret was born in Cowdenbeath on May 30 1925. She loved music from a young age, teaching herself to play the accordion aged 12 and going on to play at local functions, weddings and even for friends at Girls' Camp in the 1930s. She was 14 when World War II broke out; and after initially working in and at a local paint shop until she was old enough to help with the war effort, set off from her Fife home intending to sign up to be a WREN – only to meet her friend on the way, with both deciding en route to become Land Girls instead. Margaret calls the experience 'hard work, but one of the most enjoyable times of [her] life'; and was later awarded the land army service medal in 2008 which she continues to wear with great pride on Remembrance Sunday. After the war, she worked as a conductress for W Alexander, with has fond memories of her time on the buses 'and the characters she met'; and later worked as a cashier for the company, retiring on her 60th birthday in 1985. Margaret married in 1948 and welcomed daughter Rita the following year. She continued to live in Cowdenbeath until the age of 95, when she moved in with Rita and son-in-law lan in the South Lanarkshire village of Auchenheath – and continued to help around the house. She is a proud gran to Valerie and husband Gordon, Scott and partner Lynne, and great-grandmother Jack and Nikki, plus family dog Flynn. Margaret moved in to Ashlea Court in September 2023, where staff describe the 100-year-old as 'a remarkable woman who can make you smile and usually laugh at her antics every day'. She was joined to celebrate her special birthday by her loving family, who made a showcase of photos, as well as fellow residents, staff and her namesake special visitors, with the depute lord lieutenant presenting a card and certificate from the King and Queen to mark the occasion, while Provost Cooper presented her with flowers and a certificate from South Lanarkshire.

Kate Middleton Turns Heads in Aquamarine Dress at Trooping the Colour
Last year, all eyes were on Kate Middleton at Trooping the Colour as she made her return to public life following her cancer diagnosis. Things have gone back to status quo this year, though the Princess of Wales has somewhat scaled back her public engagements. When she announced in January she was in remission, Kate wrote, 'I remain focussed on recovery. As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.' At Trooping the Colour today, Kate looked lovely in an aquamarine Catherine Walker dress coat that feature ivory contrast lapels and cuffs. She also wore a matching wide-brimmed hat by Juliette Botterill. She accessorized with Queen Elizabeth's Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings, which Kate frequently wears—most recently during the Qatar State Visit and on Remembrance Sunday. She also had the the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch pinned to her jacket. In the parade, Kate rode in the Ascot Landau carriage with her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Prince William, meanwhile, rode on horseback. Since marrying Prince William in 2011, Kate has not missed Trooping the Colour. Today's outfit is also a monochrome bright color, opting for a new shade, and is notably not a rewear. Kate, a longtime fan of Catherine Walker, has only worn the brand one other time to Trooping—back in 2015. Kate has been on a repeat streak lately, opting to pull items from her closet instead of debuting new clothes. For example, last month at a Buckingham Palace Garden Party, she rewore the butter yellow Emilia Wickstead dress she last wore during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee in June 2022. At a concert celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day, she rewore the white Self-Portrait dress and a five-strand pearl necklace from jeweler Susan Caplan that she debuted earlier this year. In February, she went deep into her archives to rewear a coat from 2007. You Might Also Like 12 Weekend Getaway Spas For Every Type of Occasion 13 Beauty Tools to Up Your At-Home Facial Game

Former royal butler shares Trooping the Colour secrets and why there are 2 rehearsals
Paul Burrell gave an in depth insight into the planning that goes into the Trooping the Colour event. The Royal Family will lead the pomp and ceremony of Trooping the Colour this weekend, which will see 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians come together at Horse Guard's Parade to mark King Charles' official birthday. Former royal butler Paul Burrell has given some insight into the precision that goes into organising the day itself, and why there's a 'three-line whip' for Prince William, Kate Middleton and the rest of 'the Firm' to attend. Speaking in a new interview with Prime Casino, Paul explains it's important for the monarchy to be 'very visible' at Trooping the Colour, and says the event is not just important for the family, but for the nation as a whole. Paul shares the details of the extensive rehearsals that take place in the lead up to the celebration, and reveals members of the public can actually buy tickets to go along. He also explains that the second rehearsal in the days leading up to the real thing takes place at 4am 'to cause the least disruption to London possible'. He said: "It's the second most important day in the royal calendar after Remembrance Sunday. It's the day when we as a nation really celebrate our monarchy, because it's the King's official birthday, as it was the Queen's official birthday. Everyone who is able to attend, will attend. There's a three line whip for Remembrance Sunday and for Trooping the Colour. "Trooping the Colour and the appearance on the balcony is very important, not only for the Royal Family, it's important for the nation. It's the day we see our Royal Family on show and they have to perform, and that's what they do. As do the armed forces, led by the mounted division of the household cavalry, we get to see them, close up and on show, and very visible." The former butler then added that two dress rehearsals take place come rain or shine, and a lot of planning goes into it. He said: "There's a dress rehearsal the week before when people stand in for the royals and they do it as if it's for real. People can actually get tickets for the rehearsal, to sit in the stands at the Horseguard's Parade and watch the whole thing. But the Royal Family is not there. During the week they have a 4am rehearsal where the army doesn't wear their dress uniforms. "The carriages are all closed shut, so they're just pulled by the horses with closed carriages. Come rain or shine, a rehearsal happens in very small hours to cause the least disruption to London as possible. There's a lot of planning that goes into it. It's a well rehearsed plan, which is a similar plan for every year. The Royal Mews know exactly where they're going and what they're doing, it's just that the regiments change every year. "They're the ones that need the rehearsal because every year it's a different regimen Trooping their Colour, so they are front and centre and they troop their colour in front of the monarch. It takes a lot of planning and it's probably the biggest day, biggest public procession in London, even more so than a state visit because of all the troops involved in the planning of it." Finally, Paul discusses the late Princess Diana's involvement in Trooping the Colour, an event she was allowed to attend before marrying into the Royal Family, and says this tells us 'how accepted she was' by the family. He said: "Diana was accepted before she was married, she'd already passed the test to be part of the family and was invited to join the public procession before she was married. She continued to do that every year that she could afterwards because she realised this was her public role." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
