Charles also needs a sous chef to cook for him and his wife
While the queen doesn't bake or fry up things in the kitchen, some royals do prefer to cook for themselves from time to time including Catherine the Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Philip.... Oh, what it must be like to live in Buckingham Palace, where a team of royal chefs cater to your every foodie need.
Chefs Darren McGrady and Carolyn Robb each have a long history of feeding the royal family and the pair are sharing details about King Charles' eating habits ahead of his coronation this Saturday.
Kate loves to cook curry, having previously revealed she enjoys making vegetable curry when cooking at home.
He occasionally goes for heartier meals like pheasant pie and risotto, and let's not forget about his love for a dram of Scotch whisky and a martini, but the King is a really big fan of eggs, with one of his favourite meals being cheesy baked eggs and coddled eggs, which he tends to have every morning, alongside some ...
As it said the monarch prefers to skip and follow a vegetarian diet for at least one day a week, but he has one specific breakfast request. It is reported that the King typically asks for a perfectly soft boiled, or coddled egg every morning, according to MyLondon.
These include chocolate, coffee, and garlic — all ingredients that can destroy your breath. Charles' wife confirmed this during an episode of "MasterChef Australia." Camilla Parker Bowles said garlic was the one food she wouldn't want to see at a royal reception, due to Charles' distaste for it (via Twitter).
No washing machines
Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla's clothes are not allowed to be cleaned in washing machines—everything is hand washed.
Kate Middleton and Prince William shared their go-to takeaway meals for a relaxing evening at home. However, the royal couple tend to disagree on one key decision.
Despite not being King and Queen juuuuust yet, Kate and William have a huge staff thanks to their position as senior working royals—though unlike King Charles, their aides are not "men in gray" (the nickname given to the power players pulling the strings at The Firm).
Despite having chefs in their kitchen, Camilla still likes to cook for herself when she's at home - but she sticks to classics and family favourites, instead of “fussy” or “fiddly” recipes. She doesn't make extravagant dishes, instead, the royal prefers “simple things like fish en papillote with butter and herbs”.
“The King doesn't eat lunch; so, an early lesson I learnt when out on the road with him was to have a big breakfast or bring a few snack bars with you to keep you going. The working day is pretty relentless.
Not only does he use honey in his tea as previously discussed, but he has a favorite dessert of his own: lemon cream. The recipe, as per Fine Dining Lovers, was created by former royal chef Enrico Derflingher when the then-prince was painting in the Shetland Islands.
During the first course of the royal meal, the monarch converses with the person to their right. The person on their left is then pulled into conversation with the monarch during the second course.
Does the Queen ever cook for herself? McGrady says that while Prince Philip was an “amazing chef” and regularly enjoyed cooking on the grill and having family BBQs on the Balmoral estate, and the younger royals like William, Kate, Meghan and Harry, all enjoy cooking, the Queen herself stays out of the kitchen.
Yes, the late Queen Elizabeth II really did get the occasional takeaway! According to The Sun, the former monarch was rather partial to fish and chips and sometimes treated herself to dinner from the local chippy when staying at Balmoral. A footman was reportedly sent to pick up her meal from nearby town Ballater.
It is said that the apartment has the option for Kate and William to have separate sleeping spaces, but they refuse to utilise them as so, instead sharing a bedroom like regular married couples.
While the royal family have their own personal chefs to give them whatever food any of them desire, they have been known to enjoy the odd takeaway now and then. This includes The Queen, who usually samples the fish and chips from a takeaway near the Balmoral estate.
Queen Elizabeth II didn't eat fast food
And if she ever got a craving for it, the chefs would cook up their own versions. She was especially particular about burgers, only eating them without the bun.
In the late 15th century, Queen Isabella of Spain bragged that she had only bathed twice in her whole life. Queen Elizabeth I, too, reportedly bathed once a month, “whether she needed it or no”. Her successor, James VI and I, bore a great aversion to water and reportedly never bathed.
"Toilet"
If you're looking for a restroom in Buckingham Palace, ask for the loo or the lavatory.
The British royal family might enjoy a good cup of tea, but that doesn't mean they're teetotalers. In fact, many members of the royal family have been known to enjoy a proper cocktail or a glass of wine at the end of the day (and sometimes during it as well.)
Yes, royals do eat pizza! Many members of the British royal family are confirmed to be fans of the popular Italian dish. Prince William, his wife Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, and Prince Charles have all been seen out at restaurants, enjoying a slice or two of pizza. ...
"Every day begins with an egg, and they're eaten for tea, too – with crumpets, if you're Prince Charles. The Queen favours brown eggs, believing that they taste better. Her great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria, ate her boiled egg, served in a golden egg cup, with a golden spoon."
Although a fan of seafood, there was one ingredient the Queen, as well as Prince Philip, hated: oysters. In his book Dinner at Buckingham Palace, former royal servant Charles Oliver wrote: “Inevitably there are one or two things the Queen and her husband do not like, and the hosts are duly warned in advance.
