Royal chef shares the peculiar way Queen Elizabeth II would eat a banana


Most people go about eating a banana the same way, peel from the top and then bite – or chop into a fruit salad.

However, the late Queen Elizabeth II allegedly went about it in a pretty unique way.

Darren Mcgrady, who previously served as a chef for the Royal Family, namely Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Princess Diana, Prince William and Prince Harry, spoke to Recipes Plus about the late monarch’s fruit habits.

He revealed how the late Queen would go about eating a banana – and of course it was very elegant and dignified.

Darren claimed: “With a banana, she’ll cut off the bottoms and cut the banana lengthwise, and then cut the banana into tiny slices to eat with a fork.”

With these two fruit habits one could assume that there were certain fruits she didn’t want to bite straight into.

Instead, she made them more digestible and bite-sized, displaying her gold standard etiquette.

While the late Queen’s fruit habit was a little atypical, the younger royals have some very normal eating habits.
