In a surprising twist, Princess Kate has openly defied one of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s cherished culinary guidelines.
During an official visit to Great Ormond Street Hospital back in 2018, the Princess of Wales shared some delightful insights into her family’s favorite dishes, revealing a personal connection that resonates beyond royal protocol.
It all started when four-year-old Rafael Chana enthusiastically told Kate about his love for olives.
In a charming exchange, she responded with fond memories of her own childhood, saying, “I used to eat lots and lots of olives when I was little.” This candid moment showcased a relatable side of the princess, reminding everyone that even royals have simple pleasures.
As the conversation continued, Kate revealed more about her children.
She mentioned that Princess Charlotte has a particular fondness for spaghetti, highlighting the everyday joys of family meals.
Royal writer Rebecca English took to social media to share this heartwarming interaction, noting how the Duchess of Cambridge, now the Princess of Wales, encourages her children to explore cooking.
Interestingly, the late Queen had a distinct preference when it came to her meals.
It’s rumored that she wanted to keep her favorite dishes special by avoiding repetition at every event.
This desire for variety stemmed from her belief that sharing her culinary favorites would lead to them being served too often.
While the Queen’s specific tastes remain somewhat of a mystery, former royal chef Darren McGrady has shed light on her undeniable love for chocolate.
He revealed that her favorite dessert was the chocolate biscuit cake, made with rich tea biscuits and dark chocolate icing—a treat that even Prince William requested for his wedding to Kate in 2011.
Kate also shared that her youngest son, Louis, who is now five, enjoys his veggies.
During a 2019 interview with baking legend Mary Berry, she spoke about their family’s passion for gardening, emphasizing Louis’ love for beetroot.
“We grow our own vegetables.
We’ve got carrots, beans, beetroots—a massive favorite.
Louis absolutely loves beetroot,” she said, showcasing her commitment to healthy eating.
The conversation took a playful turn when Mary Berry asked if Princess Charlotte had a favorite dish.
Kate chimed in with a cheeky remark about Charlotte’s love for “Charlotte potatoes,” reflecting the lighthearted spirit within the royal household.
Her laughter and joy in these moments reveal a nurturing side that many may not associate with royal life.
