JUST like many other kids, Prince William and Prince Harry were reluctant to eat their greens as young boys – but their nanny had a sneaky trick up her sleeve.
According to royal chef Darren McGrady, their nanny would make them eat one piece of broccoli for each piece of chicken.
Darren shared the sweet fact on a YouTube tutorial of how he made William and Harry’s childhood crispy chicken and mac and cheese dish.
Darren said: “William and Harry loved this with shuck corn, but when nanny was in the house she always insisted the ‘boys must eat their greens’.
“She insisted that it was broccoli all the time. The boys I guess like any boys weren’t huge fans of broccoli.
“But what she said was ‘when you do the broccoli I want you to have one piece of broccoli with each piece of chicken.’”
He added: “Of course the boys were big eaters, two, three, sometimes four pieces, that meant they got the broccoli.
“I remember nanny coming out of the dining room afterwards and she said ‘well they ate the broccoli.
“‘Oh, next time you do it, can you do bigger pieces of florets please?’ winked at me and walked out.”
Darren also shared how he made their favourite treat dish in the palace kitchen.
He advised you should bake chicken with the skin on in the oven for about 30-45 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy and the meat cooked.
