He stated that his ex-boss does not take a lunch break and eats a breakfast of fruits and seeds.
Despite persistent rumors that the king would be served an array of eggs to choose from every morning, Payne said, "I've never seen a single boiled egg for breakfast in all the years I've worked there."
Speaking of the then-Prince's royal day-to-day life, he said: "The workday is pretty relentless.
Starting with the headlines from the radio news and a breakfast of seasonal fruit salad and seeds with tea.” Otherwise, Charles grabs some snack bars to keep on the go.
