As any tourist to the U.K. knows, you can't beat some extra crispy fish and chips. And even though Queen Elizabeth had access to all of the finest cuisine in the world, even she couldn't resist some good old fried fish every once in a while, according to former royal butler Grant Harrold.
Posting on his Instagram account, Harrold, who worked for King Charles between 2004 and 2011, shared the late Queen's "Good Friday Feast Secret."
"Did you know her Majesty savored hake with perfectly rectangular chips (no batter overload!) on Good Friday at Windsor Castle," he wrote. Hake is a flaky white fish in the cod family with a similar mild flavor, and it's often used for fish and chips in the U.K. And even though Queen Elizabeth was happy to indulge in chips (fries), her "perfectly rectangular" request is rather royal indeed.
