The Queen's love of afternoon tea has been spoken about a number of times by former members of royal staff - with many of them confirming what the monarch likes to eat. Despite the opportunities she has had to develop a more exotic or eccentric palette, Her Majesty has remained constitutionally British in her taste.
When it comes to the cakes and treats that the monarch would typically choose to go alongside her tea, royal chefs have confirmed that she enjoys everything from scones to chocolate biscuit cake. As well as the sweeter items, The Queen will enjoy an array of sandwiches - one of which has been a firm fixture on the royal menu for over 90 years.
