10 royal family eating habits

Although the royals are human beings like us, they follow certain dietary guidelines that may seem strange to the rest of the world. For example, a banana doesn't peel like it normally would, and if someone is hungry, that's not a good enough reason to start eating. There is an order to be respected.

Pictolic inquired about other distinctive eating habits of British royals and put together a list for you.

1. The queen eats a burger without a bun.

When it was time for the hamburger, the queen ate it with a fork and knife, so the bun was out.

2. Shellfish are prohibited.

Shellfish are tricky things. They can make you sick in no time, as they are known to cause food poisoning quite quickly. Therefore, royals are advised to avoid them. Nevertheless, Prince William admitted that he and Kate Middleton love sushi.

3. No food contains garlic.

Queen Elizabeth doesn't like garlic at all, mainly because of the smell. Therefore, she decided not to eat it or use it in the dishes served at Buckingham Palace. This fact was confirmed by the former chef of the royal family, as well as Camilla Parker-Bowles from MasterChef Australia.

4. When it's time for lunch, no carbs.

When she dines alone, Queen Elizabeth has a very strict rule: she doesn't want potatoes, pasta, or rice on her plate. Instead of these starches, she prefers fish or chicken with seasonal vegetables.

5. No one eats up to the queen.

Anyone who eats at the same table as Her Majesty should pay attention to the moment when she starts eating until she stops eating. She should be the first to eat, and as soon as she stops, everyone who dines should also stop. It doesn't matter if they finished dinner or not.

6. The queen does not peel bananas.

Even if we all peel a banana to eat it, the queen eats it differently. First, she uses a fork and knife to cut the top and bottom. After that, she cuts the peel from one end to the other and peels it off. Then she cuts it into small longitudinal pieces and relishes it with a fork.

7. Wherever the Queen is, there is also a chocolate sponge cake.

She is used to eating a slice of chocolate sponge cake every day, so according to her former royal chef, every time she has to travel, this sweet treat travels with her.

8. No dinner for Prince Charles.

Prince Charles only eats twice a day: breakfast and dinner, which are the main meals throughout the day. He does not dine as indirectly as his co-workers when he has to travel or visit.

9. Any leftovers are reused.

Don't waste food at Buckingham Palace. The Queen ordered her staff to reuse all uneaten portions rather than throw away the leftovers.

10. Harry and William loved fast food, especially McDonald's.

As children, Prince William and Prince Harry loved hamburgers and fries and sometimes went out to eat out fast food, especially McDonald's.
