Queen Elizabeth does have some strange eating habits that she has been known for.
Former Royal Butler Outlines Queen Elizabeth’s Eating Habits-‘The Queen Likes Beef Well Done’
That is according to former Royal butler Grant Harrold. Grant would be in the know of such things, given that he had worked for the Royal family for more than seven years.
During his time, he was the butler to Prince Charles. And it was during this period that he noticed the habits. One of them included the fact that when the Queen had finished eating, then the others had to do so.
But on a much more simple note, she does like her stake a certain way. In a statement, he said: “The Queen likes beef well done, she has things well done, which is interesting.
“I find in the world of aristocracy, things are always kind of medium or rare, but she likes it well done. (When I heard that) I found it quite funny because that’s not normal for most people like her.”
Outside of her steak preferences, the Queen also likes to keep things simple when it comes to her cutlery. Rather than using the riches that she is entitled to, she has been seen with run of the mill cutlery.
Darren McGrady, who happened to be a former Royal chef, had this to say: “People always say, ‘Oh, the Queen must eat off gold plates with gold knives and forks.’
“Yes, sometimes…but at Balmoral she’d eat fruit from a plastic yellow Tupperware container.” If these comments are taken to be true, then they are significant for the following reasons.
First of all, they demonstrate that the monarch is more down to earth than people may think. Secondly, it could also be seen as an attempt by the monarchy to be more relatable.
In reality, however, the Royal family has an embarrassment of riches that only people could dream of. And stories like this, however pleasant they may sound, do not detract away from that fact.
And that is ultimately something which cannot be ignored when viewing this. So what did you think about the Queen’s eating habits? Did they surprise you in any way?
