Heinz, which has been providing the royal households with products since 1955, said it “sincerely hopes to be able to continue doing so for many years to come”.
But, in reality, her staff are the ones in charge of the monarch's food shopping. Being head of state, the Queen can buy the best of the best when it comes to food and drink, and the royal has put her name to numerous culinary brands and stores over the years in the form of the Royal Warrant.
Queen Elizabeth II walks around a Waitrose supermarket during a tour of the redeveloped King Edward Court Shopping Centre on 29 February 2008 in Windsor, England.
It turns out that the Queen has a favourite supermarket - and you've probably popped in there a million times. Waitrose is the only supermarket in the UK with a Royal Warrant, Hello reports, meaning it has been approved to supply goods to Buckingham Palace.
The Queen's favourite supermarket? You guessed it, Waitrose. In fact, Waitrose's warrant dates back to 1928, as it supplied groceries to King George V. Queen Mary also loved a bit of Waitrose, as the supermarket stocked her favourite soap.
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.
As for what the queen kept in her bag, royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith says the items weren't all that different from what normal women carry with them: a mirror, lipstick, mint lozenges and reading glasses. As for the rest of the royal family, they have their own dress code rules they have to follow.
No washing machines
Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla's clothes are not allowed to be cleaned in washing machines—everything is hand washed. When they sent their clothing away to be cleaned, they found that some items of clothing were kept as souvenirs.
Apartment 1A has reportedly two master bedrooms on the ground floor but while the option is there for them to sleep separately, the two are understood to share a bedroom. During their three-day whistlestop tour of the UK in 2021, however, Kate and William slept in separate beds on the train.
Can you imagine Her Majesty with yellow dishwashing gloves on? At her former primary residence, Buckingham Palace, and at her current home, Windsor Castle, the Queen has a staff on hand to take care of most of the chores we non-royals dread: The laundry. Vacuuming. Washing the dishes after a meal.
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.
However, perhaps a little more unconventionally, the Queen even has a fast-food McDonald's branch. Nested 80 miles outside of London at the Banbury Gateway Shopping Park, on the edge of Oxfordshire, the Maccy D's is open to the public.
Darren McGrady, the Queen's former chef who dropped this bombshell, revealed to Us Weekly: "In the years that I cooked at [Buckingham] palace, the Queen never had pizza."
Does the Queen wash her own dishes? The washing liquid was reportedly released after formal royal butler Paul Burrell revealed in 2020 that the Queen 'often does her own washing up and likes it'.
But just what did Queen Elizabeth eat on a day-to-day basis? Well, according to Darren McGrady, a former chef in the Royal kitchens, the Queen stuck to the same foods most days. This may come as a surprise to many, but the Queen was clearly a creature of habit.
And as to putting one's clothes on, contrary to popular belief the Queen actually dressed alone. The monarch also did her own make-up for most events, with the exception of her annual Christmas speech, for which a make-up artist was employed.
While it may seem unusual that William opted not to have a wedding ring, it is thought he made the decision for practical reasons. A Palace insider told the Mirror at the time: “He's not one for jewellery. He's never worn any. "He decided he didn't want to wear one now.
What Kate called the Queen. While the rest of the world is required to address Queen Elizabeth as Ma'am or your majesty, those closest to her are allowed to refer to her as Mama, according to Ingrid Seward, the editor of Majesty magazine. Sign up to British Heritage Travel's daily newsletter here!
Kate's daily routine: school run, food shop, gym
Regularly dropping the children at school and doing the daily food shopping on nearby Kensington High Street, the duchess also prefers to swap the indoor gym at the Palace for runs in Kensington Gardens.
"Toilet"
If you're looking for a restroom in Buckingham Palace, ask for the loo or the lavatory.
Prince Harry wears Rolex Explorer II 216570
He is currently sixth in line to the British throne (albeit he and his wife, Meghan Markle, have stepped back from their responsibilities in the British Royal Family). Harry was photographed sporting a Rolex Explorer II ref. 216570 while serving in the Royal Air Force.
The role is not typically paid, and it has been reported that Lady Hussey was not given a salary during her time in the position, instead serving the Queen out of loyalty. The Queen had at least five ladies in waiting during her reign, including Lady Hussey.
A royal phone
As well as a number of private lines, the monarch's private mobile phone was unique. It may 'just' be a Samsung as many of us non-Royals have, but it was much more special.
WATCH: The Queen's daily diet
According to the monarch's former royal chef Graham Newbould, during his time working for Her Majesty, she never ate sandwiches shaped with points. The Queen is instead served small 'jam penny' sandwiches at afternoon tea.
What Happens With Queen Elizabeth's Clothes? Queen Elizabeth never wears the same outfit twice at important events. Therefore, the sovereign prefers to either change her outfits and if she gets bored of them, she sends them to her dressers, who are then allowed to either wear them themselves or sell them.
