Yes, the Queen gets the occasional takeaway! According to The Sun, the monarch is rather partial to fish and chips and sometimes treats herself to dinner from the local chippy when staying at Balmoral. A footman is reportedly sent to pick up her meal from nearby town Ballater.
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.
While the royal family have their own personal chefs to give them whatever food any of them desire, they have been known to enjoy the odd takeaway now and then. This includes The Queen, who usually samples the fish and chips from a takeaway near the Balmoral estate.
Queen Elizabeth II was the owner of a McDonald's, notably the one in the Oxfordshire neighbourhood of Banbury Gateway Shopping Park. Since Banbury Gateway Shopping Park is a part of the Crown Estate, the Queen sort of owned the McDonald's there.
Perhaps today not the restaurant it once was, the famous Quaglino's was nevertheless the first public restaurant to host the Queen after her coronation in 1952; her 1956 visit, extraordinarily, marked the first time a British monarch had ever eaten in a restaurant.
Harry and William love fast food, especially McDonald's
Former royal family personal chef Darren McGrady told Marie Claire, “I remember Princess [Diana] came into the kitchen one day and said, 'Cancel lunch for the boys I'm taking them out, we're going to McDonald's.
Well, according to the royal family's former chef, Darren McGrady, the Queen has lived her whole life without ever having tried pizza.
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.
If you're wondering what cereal The Queen ate, her choice was apparently Kellogg's Special K, although she also dabbled with Quaker Oats and Weetabix.
According to the monarch's former royal chef, never has she sunk her teeth into a deep pan stuffed crust pepperoni, with extra mozzarella. Never has she enjoyed Pizza Express' glorious garlic butter as an unnecessary side to one of their Romanas. She probably hasn't even had a pizza slice from Gregg's, FFS.
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.
Queen Elizabeth adhered to a daily teatime meal; her preference for delicate sandwiches with the crusts cut off was well-publicized. Her favorite version was reported to be smoked salmon with cream cheese. If the old adage is true, one should eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper.
LONDON (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II has eaten jam sandwiches every day since she was a toddler, according to her former private chef.
But there's one food Her Majesty refuses to eat – and it may surprise you! Despite being a delicacy in many countries and a favourite at decadent banquets, the Queen and her late husband Prince Philip reportedly hated oysters, according to former royal servant Charles Oliver.
“The menus at Buckingham Palace are very traditional French, which wouldn't lean towards having pizza on it,” he told Insider. “Her Majesty's Victorian upbringing dictates that the only thing you would pick up and eat with your fingers is afternoon tea.”
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.
Darren reveals how at Buckingham Palace, her Majesty eats a course of dessert fruit after her pudding, which is what we know to be sweet foods like tarts, mousses and ice cream. "Sometimes the Queen will miss the pudding course altogether and just have the entrée (main course) and some dessert fruit," he says.
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.
Cheddar cheese
There are several cheesemongers who are fit to serve the queen. Paxton & Whitfield, Britain's oldest cheese shop, has a royal warrant from Her Majesty, as does D.
According to the royal chef Darren, "Her favourite dish was bell peppers stuffed with zucchini, mushrooms, rice, garlic topped with Parmesan and mozzarella and finished with a smoked tomato and pepper sauce." "She asked for this dish several times a week."
Appearing on Yahoo Movies, Blessed said that Her Majesty told him her favourite movie was pulpy sci-fi classic Flash Gordon. “It's her favourite film, she watches it with her grandchildren every Christmas,” said Blessed.
She favored "sensible exercise" over rigorous workouts and loved spending time in nature. The Queen liked simple, healthy meals, but also enjoyed a daily gin and ate dark chocolate.
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.
In the wake of her death, fans are remembering the Queen's rather eclectic taste in television. According to reports, the Queen received selected shows from the BBC, who would occasionally add in unrequested items they thought she may enjoy.
