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. She did, however, have some rather peculiar preferences when it comes to how her burger is made. O'Grady explained how Queen Elizabeth preferred her burgers without a bun.
“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.”
She came to the throne in 1952 and governed England for around 70 years, and lived a very long and prosperous life. The Queen's empire includes hotels, castles, horse racing tracks and also a McDonald's.
