Queen Elizabeth's Shocking Royal Diet Revealed

Join this channel to get access to perks:

Hello lovelies, today I will be discussing Queen Elizabeth's Royal diet.

Elizabeth II was born 21 April 1926 is Queen of the United Kingdom and 15 other Commonwealth realms. Her father ascended the throne on the abdication of his brother King Edward VIII in 1936, from which time she was the heir presumptive. She was educated privately at home and began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. When her father died in February 1952, Elizabeth became head of the Commonwealth and Queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries. She is the longest-serving female head of state in world history, and the world's oldest living monarch, the longest-reigning current monarch, and oldest and longest-serving current head of state.

Diet:
The Queens long time personal chef Darren claims that the Queen eats to live and is not a foodie. Her tastes are more subdued and have a straightforward diet with delicacies on special occasions.

So what does the Queen of England eat most days when she is alone and not at state functions? Her daily diet is routine. For breakfast, she likes Earl Grey tea and Special K cereal. For lunch and dinner, she eats proteins and vegetables with an afternoon sandwich snack. Her favorite sandwich is tuna and mayonnaise, with thin slices of cucumber and a dash of pepper. Also, the bread must be buttered.

Her go-to sweet treat is chocolate biscuit cake. He explains several cakes on rotation when making up her menu, but the chocolate biscuit cake is requested again and again. However, according to McGrady, the Queen is disciplined; she will only eat a tiny slice each day until the cake is finished.

McGrady says she likes to use meat – usually venison – vegetables and fruit from her estates when she is at Balmoral or Sandringham, and it is all about the seasons. "You can send strawberries every day to the queen during the summer at Balmoral, and she'll never say a word," he said in a previous interview. "Try including strawberries on the menu in January, and she'll scrub out the line and say 'Don't dare send me genetically modified strawberries'."

The Queen is not a picky eater, but she has specific rules about her meals. And what is definitely off the menu for the Queen are:

1. Smelly foods, such as onions and garlic, make sense with all the socializing she and the other royals have to do – they too are not allowed to eat anything that will make the breath smell. However, on occasion, the chefs can use a little onion when making her favorite steak or venison dishes.

2. Although one of her favorite dishes is scrambled eggs, white eggs are made with brown eggs, not white, as she thinks brown eggs taste better.

3. Bread crusts – again, although she has her daily afternoon tea sandwich, it is served sans crust.

4. Pasta and potatoes – The Queen avoids starches when she is eating alone. She eats a lean lunch, which often includes a large salad or grilled fish or chicken, with two veggies on the side.

5. Rare meats – Her Highness prefers her meats well done and never eats her meat rare or even medium-rare.

6. Whole bananas – she cuts off the top and bottom of the banana then slits the peel to get to the fruit. She then cuts it into small pieces and eats with a fork.
7. Sweetened tea – just in case you are entertaining Her Majesty, she does not take sugar in her tea, only a dash of milk if it's not her morning Earl Grey.

Wow, born in 1926, the same year as Marilyn!

[shireen]

My favorite food is pizza with coke ( not that anyone's interested)

[CathyS_Bx]

She's 94, not 100, let's not rush things! LOL. I've be rewatching "The Crown" on Netflix. What a fascinating personage the Queen is!

[southwinds]

Oh no your white bread sandwich was too thick....they would be wafer thin ...the cucumber would be pealed too. It is said you could eat them with out opening your mouth.
She is typical of her generation..my mother would eat seasonally.. The main meal on Sunday is lunch time so staff get the afternoon off. Sunday tea is often sandwiches...cold meats etc..and cake..mostly would be self serve so staff are not required.
Years ago (1970s)it was written the Queen had dieted ..and done so cutting carbs...she was ahead of her time there.

It is so cool that you got to see the Queen! I am a big admirer of her! This was such a great video!

[MzMinnie]

The palace released a royal cookbook! It has the biscuit cake recipe in it, and I made it for my mums birthday and it’s now a request every year 🥰

[jaenmartens]

To me, onions and garlic are staples! I find salmon and eggs to be the “smelly foods”. Longevity runs in the family.. little to do with what she eats.

I didn’t know you lived in Victoria! That’s the only place in Canada I’ve ever been, and I loved it. It’s so beautiful. I even had a drink at the Empress hotel you mentioned; it was lovely. So cool!

[shelbyb]

The way you plated the dishes you discussed was really appetizing. I confess I'm so hungry now. Also, I love how the Queen's diet is so sensible. It really is something we could all follow (for the most part).

[maggiechang]

I admire Her Majesty, during her younger days, she served the army by being a backup team repairing machines and driving wounded soldiers to be hospitalized. After the war ended, she's very savvy on her daily spending. That's very rare for an aristocrate

[jainavonhalsing]

My grandma was big on Special K. They used to advertise it as Corn Flakes for ladies, as it was considered a "feminine" cereal. (Maybe because of the dainty flakes?) On another note, love your Royal Albert milk jug!

[Talula-Darling]

Thank you! This was lovely. My favorite breakfast is toast with jam and fresh fruit. With coffee, of course. 💕

[barb]

Please do Hedy Lamarr products you can still buy today! ✨

[GinaSigillito]

The Queen is still vibrant and a lovely lady. As you say, her diet does work for her and it seems very healthy, protein and veggies, very little starch, low sugar, etc

[ChelseaH]

Lovely! Thanks for all your hard work into researching these videos. I have been binging. Haha

[TracyD]

I know she was just leaving that Mc Donald’s. 😆 My nonna lived to 110 she drank beer every day. I worked at a private beach club in the Hamptons and yeah they didn’t cook with onions or garlic. The sacrilege. Old money stays far away from them come to find out. When they socialize I guess.

There's a middle eastern restaurant in my town that serves chocolate biscuit cake, I wonder if it's a colonial era tradition.

[alexisdiva]

Cool & informative video! Love the fact that Her Majesty enjoys mostly modest foods. Am also a fan of Special K cereal and Twinings Earl Grey tea.

[andreamaurer]

Great video! I love the queen. She is a very elegant, intelligent, lady deserving the utmost respect. 🌹
