Unexpected Cravings

The royals, just like the rest of the world, are known for giving in to gluttony when it comes to their favorite fast-food joint. Although several dietary restrictions come along with being a royal, they don’t shy away from obsessing over their takeaway menu. Despite having world-class chefs at their beck and call, many prominent royals harbor a surprising love for classic, greasy-spoon comfort food. From late-night burger runs to secret kebab orders delivered by a butler, the British royal family’s culinary habits aren't all silver platters and fine dining.

Spicy Guilty Pleasures

Since his childhood, Prince William was allowed to have junk food in moderation, as his mother wanted him to have a normal childhood. Now, years later, the Prince seems to have developed an extensive taste for takeouts. He and Princess Kate reportedly love Indian food and curries, as revealed by the latter while speaking to BBC Radio 1. Chicken masala, love that, a bit of flavor - I'm not a vindaloo man, put it that way,” quipped the Prince. Other than that, he also loves Nando's, pizzas, and Chinese food.

Munchies For the Monarch

While his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, famously banned pizza from her palace kitchens, King Charles reportedly had a soft spot for the Italian staple. During a royal visit to St Boswells, Scotland, the monarch was delighted to be gifted a fresh pizza straight from a local chef. So what is his favorite pizza topping? Chef Erminio Di Meo, in a conversation with the Press Association, revealed, "I wanted to give him the pizza as he is such a big part of this country. He was curious, he smiled, and I said, 'It's a margherita.' I believe the prince said, 'It's my favorite'.”

Just like his elder brother, Prince Harry loves Nando’s. He was once spotted picking up a late-night order from the joint consisting of chicken pitta with extra cheese, a side of creamy mash, and a double chicken wrap with fries, as revealed by the Mirror. Apart from that, Harry loved the American fast-food culture, especially In-N-Out Burger’s Double-Double" cheeseburgers with fries and Coke.

Fish and Chips Please!

Coming to Queen Elizabeth II, she loved fish and chips and every so often enjoyed it from a local chippy at Balmoral. However, her most shocking food choice has to be kebab. Yes, the monarch loved to indulge in kebabs, ordering them from Krazy Kebabs. A royal correspondent revealed that the Queen used to order takeaways from the joint. "I assumed the food was for a servant. But when I got to the entrance, a butler took it and said it was for the Queen. I hope she enjoyed it – we are known for the best kebabs in Norfolk,” detailed the delivery driver.

Comfort Order

"I could eat French fries all day long,” shared Meghan Markle, speaking to Best Health Canada. The diva is all about balance rather than deprivation. The Duchess of Sussex has a self-proclaimed obsession with carbohydrates, admitting that she could happily eat French fries all day long and harbors a deep love for boxed macaroni and cheese. "It's all about balance, because I work out the way I do, I don't ever want to feel deprived. I feel that the second you do that is when you start to binge on things. It's not a diet; it’s a lifestyle eating,” added the mom of two.
