The Royal Family comes with plenty of quirks and unusual protocols, especially regarding their eating habits. But few are as delightfully specific—or posh—as Queen Elizabeth's preferred method for eating a banana. While most people would casually peel and bite into the fruit, the late Queen insisted on a more refined technique: eating it with a knife and fork.
According to former royal chef Darren McGrady—who worked for Queen Elizabeth for more than a decade—the late monarch would "cut off the bottoms and cut the banana lengthwise, and then cut the banana into tiny slices to eat it with a fork" (via the Express). She cut the banana into bite-sized pieces instead of peeling and eating it, to avoid, in the words of her former chef, "looking like a monkey."
