Queen Elizabeth was known for her strong sense of duty, her colorful coat collection and her love of corgis. But one of the late Queen's lesser-known traits had to do with healthy eating, particularly when it came to her lunchtime routine. According to former royal chef Darren McGrady, Queen Elizabeth wasn't necessarily a "foodie," but kept her midday meal light, clean and "simple."
Speaking to the Telegraph before the late Queen's death, the longtime palace chef said her secret to staying in shape was being "very disciplined" about food. "She eats to live, unlike Prince Philip who loves to eat and would stand and talk food all day," McGrady shared.
