For breakfast she keeps things simple. Royal biographer, Katie Nicholl, has previously said: "HRH typically starts with a simple cup of tea and biscuits, followed by a bowl of cereal." (The Guardian previously reported she likes to keep it in Tupperware to preserve its freshness.)
As it is his 'big day' King Charles could look forward to his favourite meal to kick off the weekend… cheesy baked eggs. Back in 2020, Clarence House shared the recipe for the then-Prince Charles' favourite dish in honour of British Cheese Weekender.
Queen Elizabeth's menu preferences
Her Majesty started the morning off with yogurt, cereal, or toast but sometimes opted for smoked haddock or kippers, which was one of her favorite breakfast options. British Heritage Travel notes that the Queen enjoyed scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on special occasions.
Her Majesty favoured brown eggs
Dinner at Buckingham Palace revealed: "Kippers, in a number of uncomplicated variations, have remained a favourite with the Queen ever since – for breakfast, as a savoury or a late-night supper.
Foraged mushrooms, organic eggs, cheese and crackers, and locally-raised in-season lamb make appearances on his food menu but the King follows a mostly plant-based diet and tends to skip lunch entirely too, according to the 70 facts released about him on the prince of wales website.
Simple cooked meat and vegetables lead the way, with space for pheasant or venison should the Queen wish. Of course, Queen Elizabeth loved a Sunday roast just as much as anyone else. Along with chocolate, the Queen enjoyed some strawberries or peaches for dessert.
Although roast chicken is William's favourite, the royal family have been said to enjoy a variety of cuisines including Italian pasta dishes, pizza and steak.
Kellogg's, Quaker Oats, and Weetabix all hold royal warrants. However, she likes her cereal to be served from Tupperware, which she believes keeps it fresh.
Apparently, she heads to bed at 10.30pm each evening in order to get a good night's sleep. The bling is stunning, obviously. Regular exercise is also said to help with sleep and Kate leads an active lifestyle, often talking about how she loves to get outdoors – it's thought that she runs or walks every day.
The Queen preferred grilled fish or chicken, served simply with vegetables. She generally skipped starches like potatoes, grains, or rice during her evening meal.
Starches like pasta or potatoes
As Elizabeth's chef Darren McGrady told The Telegraph, the monarch avoided these ingredients in order to keep fit. McGrady explained, "When she dines on her own, she's very disciplined. No starch is the rule. No potatoes, rice, or pasta for dinner.
McGrady says the Queen has four meals a day - but only eats small portions at each. In a series of YouTube Q&A videos, he says that during his time as her personal chef between 1982 and 1993, the Queen would eat breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. For breakfast she keeps things simple.
Tea and biscuits
A piece in Hello! revealed that her all-time favorite biscuits were Chocolate Bath Olivers which are crunchy cookies enrobed in chocolate.
Her go-to breakfast bowl has been reported to be fiber-packed, consisting of steel-cut oats mixed with almond or soy milk, bananas, and agave syrup. Additionally, açaí bowls are among Meghan's favorite breakfast foods, with her even preparing one during an interview with lifestyle blogger Athena Calderone.
Spaghetti carbonara is Prince George's favorite meal
Not so for tiny foodie Prince George. According to celebrity chef — and ambassador for the youth homeless charity Centrepoint — Aldo Zilli, Prince George's favorite meal is spaghetti carbonara.
Prince of Wales reveals he has two eggs for breakfast and white fish for dinner - and three cups of tea because 'the kids keep him up' The Prince of Wales revealed his daily diet during a trip to Cornwall - and said he drinks three cups of tea because Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis 'keep him up. '
Reportedly, the Queen goes to sleep at 11pm every night before waking up at 7.30am - clocking in an impressive eight and a half hours sleep. It's also said the monarch is fond of reading before she retires for the night, a proven way to improve sleep quality and reduce stress.
As an old tradition dictates, royal couples never share the same bed or bedroom, allowing them to move freely while asleep. It allows them much needed alone time after hours of being in the limelight.
And now we've discovered another rule the royals have to follow - and it's all to do with their bedtimes. According to Sir William Heseltine, one of Queen's private secretaries, when staying with Her Majesty, members of the royal family should wait until the Queen retires to bed before they also hit the hay.
O'Grady spoke about how Queen Elizabeth was never a fan of McDonald's or KFC but did in fact have a hankering for one kind of fast food in particular. The food? Hamburgers. Yes, Her Majesty was similar to the majority of the population in the sense that she loved a hamburger just as much as the next person.
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.
Queen Elizabeth was a ruler, a royal, and, one of the most famous women in the entire world, but she was also a Brit to the core, evidenced by her lifelong love of fish and chips.
Both Harry and Meghan are big fans of roast chicken. They did prepare some together on their first dates and it was the dish that he ordered when his wife was about to give birth to their first child at the hospital.
In 2020, a former royal chef revealed his recipe for Kate's favourite dessert, a sticky toffee pudding. Darren McGrady, 60, who worked as a personal chef to the Queen, as well as Princess Diana and Prince William and Harry, revealed Kate Middleton often cooks her own meals and even does her own grocery shopping.
Every day for more than 90 years, Queen Elizabeth II ate her favorite snack: jam sandwiches, also known as jam pennies.
