This is a weird Indian pudding called hello to the queen . It consists of pineapple banana crushed biscuits icecream and chocolate sauce.
Within the limited circle of connoisseurs aware of the delicacy, the consensus is that Hello to the Queen was invented in India, and the inventor was a foreign tourist. The fact that the dish is sighted only in backpackers' hotspots like Pushkar, Rishikesh Manali and Goa supports such an assessment.
Chocolate biscuit cake is Queen Elizabeth's favorite cake ~ she would take a small slice every day with her tea, until the cake was finished, and then she'd start on a fresh one!
The Bombe Glacée Royale
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.
If introduced to the Queen, the correct formal address is "Your Majesty." For any further address, you should call her "Ma'am," pronounced with a short "a," as in "jam."
The man who woke Queen Elizabeth II on the last day of her life also put her to rest. For decades, the queen's personal bagpiper, known as Piper to the Sovereign, acted as her personal alarm clock by playing under her window at 9 a.m. for 15 minutes at all of her official British residences.
At public engagements, it's not uncommon see royals greet each other with a bow or a curtsy. These greetings, however, often depend on a royal's rank. All royals are expected to bow or curtsy to the sovereign and his wife, King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Prince William defied royal protocol at the King's Coronation when he chose not to bow to Queen Camilla at the Coronation Concert. A body language expert claims that the Prince of Wales might have found it strange to perform such a gesture to his stepmother.

What Kate called the Queen. While the rest of the world was 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.
It's said that in order to feel fresh for her daily appointments the Queen always went to bed at the same time every night, 11pm, and slept for eight and a half hours – meaning she woke at 7.30am each day. It's so simple.
The time of death, just after 3 p.m., is more revealing, coming more than three hours before Buckingham Palace announced it at 6:30 p.m. That indicates none of her family saw the queen just before her death, aside from King Charles III and his sister, Princess Anne, who were both already in Scotland on official duties.
Prince Catherine wasn't allowed to say goodbye to the dying Queen because they wanted to keep Meghan Markle away, according to Sky News host Paul... more. “Kate wasn't able to say goodbye because they wouldn't let Meghan go in there,” he said.
The Queen bowed her head as a sign of respect to her late daughter-in-law, Princess Diana. As the Head of State, Her Majesty was under no obligation to bow to anyone, making the gesture even more poignant.
Address her as "Your Majesty" the first time in the conversation. If you are stuck for words, say "Hello, Your Majesty. I am delighted to meet you." Any polite greeting is acceptable, however. Address her as "Ma'am" for the rest of the conversation.
We don't bow or curtsy to any fellow Americans, much less to foreign monarchs. (If you don't believe me, ask Miss Manners, repeatedly.) And yet journalists are always telling us to bow and curtsy before them, and address them as “Your Royal Highness,” and stand when British royals enter the room.
How did Queen Elizabeth II die? As it is common from people who live to 96 years of age, the queen's official cause of death has been registered as 'old age'. She was fortunate enough to live a full life and perished on her death bed with no further complications.
A future biography of Her Majesty authored by a close friend of Prince Philip stated that the Queen had bone marrow cancer, with bone pain being the most prevalent symptom. The remarks concerning her health problems were made in Gyles Brandreth's planned book, Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait.
Gyles Brandreth, a family friend of the monarch and the late Duke of Edinburgh, has spent years penning 'An Intimate Portrait'.
The queen has a number of people on staff who cook for her and there aren't any reports that she has ever had to make her meals herself. But she does prepare her own breakfast. For the most important meal of the day, the monarch eats cereal and fetches it herself.
Have you ever wondered how Queen Elizabeth starts her day? If you can't imagine the Queen being woken up by an iPhone alarm blaring at her, you imagine correctly. The Queen wakes up to the sound of live bagpipes, played by a musician whose official title is “piper to the sovereign”.
The queen's preference for game meats even extended to more casual meals; she was, reportedly, a big fan of hamburgers made with ground venison. She usually skipped any potatoes, pastas or grains at her evening repast, but almost always had room for dessert.
Traditionally, when greeting a member of the British royal family, men bow their heads and women do a small curtsy, according to the royal family's website. Little footage exists of the queen bowing to others, though AP footage shows she bowed her head as Princess Diana's funeral procession passed by in 1997.
According to protocol, Meghan is supposed to curtsy to those who outrank her.
