The somewhat mystical lives of royal families have always attracted public interest. It is as if we are looking into a hidden world where we are interested in every detail that happens behind the curtains. One of these parts talks about the diet of the English royal family, and it was revealed in the documentary 'Secrets of the Royal Kitchen' by former royal chef Graham Newbould.
Namely, the members of the royal family specifically pay attention to what kind of food they eat, and the chef is, as reported by the British Express, found out why.
Members of the royal family never eat food with sharp edges because, as their tradition dictates, anyone who would like to serve them such a form of food actually has the intention of harming the monarchy, that is, planning to overthrow the throne of England.
This belief, Newbould points out, has been passed down through the generations, and it is said that Princess Kate, as well as other family members, follow it. That's why they never eat rectangular sandwiches. In his two years working at Buckingham Palace and six at Kensington Palace, this chef has never prepared square sandwiches for Queen Elizabeth. Instead, in this monarchy, only sandwiches with jam would be served with, of course, hot tea. Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband also followed similar food superstitions and reportedly avoided eating anything that looked like a corpse.
Protocols during the trip
Protocols related to nutrition and what members of the royal family are allowed to eat during business trips were also implemented by the late Queen Elizabeth. Apparently, she was not a fan of pasta or potatoes, and garlic was on the list of strictly forbidden foods due to the possibility of bad breath. Also, on the big NO list during the trip, this family does not eat shellfish or seafood for fear of food poisoning. Instead, the chef points out, following the example of King Charles, he must carry six types of honey, special shells and dried fruit on his travels. Unlike him, daughter-in-law Kate and son William like to try local dishes, and according to chef Raghu Deora, during their visit to India, they enjoyed vegetable kebabs with curried lentils.
Kate Middleton protocol
When it comes to everyday life, Princess Kate, who revealed she was diagnosed with cancer in March, has her favorites. An example of her daily menu looks really interesting. Her day starts with a nutritious smoothie whose ingredients are mainly kale, spirulina, spinach, green tea, coriander leaves and blueberries.
He also eats oatmeal for breakfast. Although she is not a vegetarian, the princess enjoys lunch without meat. He likes fresh and healthy meals like watermelon salad and gazpacho (Spanish cold vegetable soup).
The family often uses vegetables from their own garden such as leeks, carrots and beets. In addition, her family enjoys Italian food, and the princess especially likes to prepare homemade pasta with cheese.
