SHE may have access to some of the world’s top chefs – but it turns out, The Queen isn’t too fussed by fine dining.
According to Her Majesty‘s former chef Darren McGrady, The Queen is not what you’d consider a “foodie” – unlike her husband Prince Philip.
Speaking to The Telegraph, the chef said: “[The Queen] not a foodie.
“She eats to live, unlike Prince Philip who loves to eat and would stand and talk food all day.”
What’s more, Darren claims Her Majesty follows a strict no-carb diet when she’s eating on her own.
He added: “When she dines on her own, she’s very disciplined. No starch is the rule.”
The monarch’s meals are healthy, low-carb affairs, usually grilled fish or chicken with two different vegetables or a big bowl of salad.
That said, The Queen still likes to treat herself to something sweet from time-to-time – and Darren claims she’s a total “chocaholic”.
He told HELLO!: “She is absolutely a chocoholic. Anything we put on the menu that had chocolate on, she would choose, especially chocolate perfection pie.”
But, the Queen won’t entertain any old chocolate – in fact, it has to be dark.
“She likes chocolate, but only dark chocolate, the darker the better,” he added. “She’s not a big fan of milk or white chocolate.”
While it’s no surprise that the Queen is partial to a little chocolate, Her Maj’s former pilot has claimed that the Queen would enjoy a tinned Fray Bentos pie on long-haul flights in the 90s.
