He always ate breakfast

Prince Philip alway had his first meal of the day at 8:30 am in the palace. While he enjoyed a good English breakfast time and again, he also often stuck with a routine of cereal, porridge, marmalade, maple syrup, fresh fruit and yogurt. According to Charles Oliver, when preparing breakfast for himself, Prince Philip usually went for bacon, eggs and sausages, or omelettes and kidneys. Despite the rise in popularity of intermittent fasting (which usually involves skipping breakfast), it can be very beneficial to start one's day with hearty breakfast, to kick-start the metabolism and avoid hunger pangs before lunchtime.
