Special K was introduced by Kellogg's in the US in 1955, early in the Queen's reign, and has seen its global popularity grow in the 67 years since. The company was given a royal warrant many years ago and is an official supplier to Buckingham Palace.

What brand of biscuits does the Queen eat? Today one of the UK's best-selling biscuits, McVitie's have used the brand name Rich Tea since 1891. Another of the Queen's favourite foods was breakfast cereal, along with a cup of Earl Grey tea ... and, according to Paddington, a marmalade sandwich.
The former royal chef revealed the Queen loves chocolate!
"For a first course she loved the Gleneagles pâté, which is smoked salmon, trout and mackerel. She loved using ingredients off the estate and so if we had salmon from Balmoral from the River Dee, she'd have that, it was one of her favourites.
Queen Elizabeth has had the honour of eating some of the world's most luxurious and expensive foods. But the monarch is said to be fond of a classic British dark mint chocolate, usually eaten after dinner, that anyone can buy from your local supermarket.
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.

Well, according to the royal family's former chef, Darren McGrady, the Queen has lived her whole life without ever having tried pizza. Well, that's what he thinks, as he never cooked it for her during his 15 years of working with the royals.
According to an interview McGrady gave to the DailyMail, the Queen hated garlic and forbade dishes containing the ingredient from being served at any table she was seated at. However, just as some royal family members love shellfish even though Her Majesty avoids it, the Queen's husband was a big fan of garlic.
William later completed a nutrition question sheet where he recorded that for breakfast he had eaten two eggs, wholemeal toast with butter, apple juice and a cup of tea. For lunch? 'He admitted someone had got him a "rubbish sandwich" for lunch,' said Monique, and he had alongside a glass of water.

It's long been known that the Queen has a sweet tooth, particularly when it comes to chocolate, so it's no surprise that her go-to dessert is a rich, mint and chocolatey delight known as a Bombe Glacée Royale. Her Majesty is such a huge fan that a fruity version was even served at her wedding in 1947!
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.
Yes, the late Queen Elizabeth II really did get the occasional takeaway!

The queen really does weigh her guests
