The Prince and Princess of Wales cannot eat with their children during holidays and official dinners due to a strange rule, a former royal chef has revealed.
Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte, and Prince George must eat without their parents at official dinners or during holidays, Darren McGrady told Harper’s Bazaar.
He claimed that the three kids “aren’t allowed to sit with the adults until they have learned the art of polite conversation”.
Remembering his time as the family’s chef, McGrady said there were never any exceptions, even for bigger holidays such as Christmas.
McGrady added: “The children always ate in the nursery until they were old enough to conduct themselves properly at the dining table.”

The chef also worked for Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Diana and Prince Harry for around 15 years.
According to McGrady, Prince William and Prince Harry were aged seven and ten when he began cooking for them at Kensington Palace and they would come in the kitchen all the time.
Prince William and Princess Kate have reportedly been working harder to balance their parental duties alongside their royal tasks in recent years.
The pair took on new roles following the death of the Queen and are facing an ever-busy schedule.
He told Daily Express US: “I think that Kate and William are having to take on an awful lot and consider it, you know, but they’ve been very clear that their first priority is the is also to is to be parents to a young family.”
Jobson, who authored Our King Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed, said that the kids will “always be a priority”.
He added that Kate “gives this vision of a swan on the lake…that she’s a perfect woman who does not put a foot wrong”.
But “below the surface, I think she is working very hard to maintain all the links with the King and other members of the royal family, but she would not jeopardise the school run,” Jobson added.
