Although Queen Elizabeth could've had her pick of over-the-top royal meals, she preferred to keep things simple. Former royal chef Darren McGrady has revealed some of the late Queen's favorite foods over the years—including one "Parisian bistro favorite." But in his new memoir, The Royal Insider, former royal butler Paul Burrell shares that Queen Elizabeth always kept one item close during tea.
"You have no idea how many jars of jam and honey she was sent by people," Burrell writes in the book, which was serialized in the Daily Mail on September 9. He adds that she particularly "loved" eating "home-grown produce"—a habit she'd pass down to her sustainable farming champion King Charles.
