There’s a 52p ingredient that Buckingham Palace reportedly used to take Queen Elizabeth’s humble sandwich filling to the next level.
They might live in magnificent royal residences like Clarence House and Bagshot Park, but the Royal Family’s mealtime preferences aren’t always as luxurious as we might imagine. Queen Camilla’s favourite comfort food is “fuss-free” and one of Queen Elizabeth’s favourite sandwich fillings is just as humble. The late monarch enjoyed afternoon tea as a tradition every single day, according to former royal chef Darren McGrady. This might sound very fancy but apparently simple cucumber sandwiches were part of the afternoon tea and these were reportedly served at a Buckingham Palace garden party attended by presenter Jenny Hanley.
