Before she married Prince Albert of Monaco,Princess Charlene had an impressive swimming career.
“Sport has given me drive and discipline,” Charlene informedVoguein 2011.
Charlene is reportedly a pescatarian, and she likes to focus on whole foods.
For beverages, the princess keeps it basic and doesn’t add any unnecessary extras.
“I drink a lot of water it’s important to stay hydrated,” she added.
These preferred food choices were also reflected in the menu at Charlene and Albert’s royal wedding.
Although Charlene puts an emphasis on nutritious food, she doesn’t hold herself to impossibly stringent standards.
Instead, she believes the occasional dessert is part of maintaining a healthy, balanced mindset.
“As an athlete my training was explosive,” Charlene told Women’s Health.
However, her fitness regimen has evolved in the years since she’s become a royal.
She later found stretching to be invaluable to balance out sedentary periods of royal air travel.
While she would previously exercise multiple times a week, by 2018, the princess eschewed a gym-based workout.
“Now I focus more on strength, core training and stability.”
Charlene explained to Women’s Health.
The princess also focuses on physical activities that bring her joy.
Frequently, these are water-based, like swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, and surfing.
Outside of the water, she also relies on hiking up mountain trails and running to stay active.
Charlene also appreciates the value of a group activity to make exercise fun and keep people motivated.
The princess has also competed in the race and was part of the winning team in 2018.
For their wedding feast, 500 guests dined on food that was 85% locally sourced.
Albert and Charlene’s royal garden provided the fresh produce, and local fishermen produced the fish selections.
Albert’s also an organic farmer.
The prince maintains Roc Agel, a 125-acre farm that Prince Rainier started in the 1960s.
Besides a vegetable garden, the farm has 12 cows and approximately 100 chickens.
Albert and Charlene’s methods are similar to another royal couple: King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Like Charlene, Camilla is a fan of eating fish and vegetables.
In addition, Charles and Camilla also carry out their sustainable choices on a larger scale.
The king also has extensive experience with taking an earth-centered approach to cuisine.
