Queen Elizabeth II is one of a kind.
Surprisingly enough, the queen’s diet just might be the key factor in her health and longevity.
And for Queen Elizabeth, starting each day with acup of teais part of her normal, everyday routine.
In fact, though the queen may be offered scones at breakfast, she doesn’t eat them.
Instead,Queen Elizabeth’s staffhas to take on the hard job of downing the queen’s scones.
Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell told TLC (viaNews24).
Burrell continued, “The queen never eats the scones; the corgis eat them.”
Hey, the woman knows what she likes!
This is especially true when it comes to breakfast.
Honestly, it’s not like the cereal is anything special or fancy, and it’s also quiteaffordable.
Queens they’re just like us!
On most days, Queen Elizabeth really only has tea, biscuits, and cereal for breakfast.
Of course, this breakfast sounds a lot more regal than her Special K morning meal.
Clearly, balance is key for this queen.
Queen Elizabeth’s afternoon meal is pretty light
Queen Elizabeth’s energy often seems boundless.
“That’s it.
That’s all she has,” McGrady said.
He continued, saying, “She’s very disciplined like that.
Um is anyone else suddenly starving?
This is certainly the kind of meal that nourishes your soul, as well as your body.
Now,thatsounds like a dinner fit for a queen.
Obviously,alcohol isn’t very healthy, especially if you drink a lot of it.
But just like most things, consuming alcohol in moderation won’t kill you.
McGrady continued, saying, “She certainly doesn’t drink four glasses a day.
She’d be pickled if she drank that much.”
Added the former chef, “All I said was she likes a gin and Dubonnet.
That’s herfavorite drink.”
For the longest time,the queen has hated garlic.
McGrady continued, revealing, “The queen would never have garlic on the menu.”
She continued, saying, “Garlic is a no-no.”
And like normal people, Queen Elizabeth enjoys a bit of chocolate.
In fact, the queen has actually been known toadorethe sweet treat.
Darren McGrady, former royal chef to Queen Elizabeth, toldCNNthat Queen Elizabeth is"a chocoholic.”
However, McGrady continued, adding that the queen has a specific preference for her chocolatey treats.
“It has to be the dark chocolate … the darker the better,” he said.
Added McGrady, “She wasn’t keen on milk chocolate or white chocolate.”
And, there’s one thing she absolutely avoids that probably makes her healthy diet even healthier.
However, McGrady clarified, “When she dines on her own, she’s very disciplined.”
And according to McGrady, part of the queen’s discipline includes saying no to starch.
While that may sound pretty boring, it’s impressive that the queen can display such restraint.
Queen Elizabeth loves local, organically grown foods
Queen Elizabeth is a total farm-to-table kind of gal.
In the world we live in, there are plenty of health trends that come and go.
McGrady also toldRecipesPlus(viaDelish), that the queen isn’t a stickler for seasonal foods.
