The food loved by Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte that breaks The Queen’s golden rules – Wales Online

When it comes to Royal dining, there are several rules in place for health and safety reasons - as well as for the personal preferences of the family. These include avoiding certain delicacies that carry the risk of food poisoning as well as food that could prove to be a bit messy.

One type of food that is always avoided by the Royal Family on their travels is rare meat, to minimise the risk from E. coli or salmonella, MyLondon reports. For similar heath risk reasons, shellfish is also avoided by the royals.

And you're not likely to see The Queen tuck into food which has a lot of tomato sauce, to avoid it being spilled down her clothes in front of dignataries and potentially the world's Press. However, is well-known that Kate Middleton, The Duchess of Cambridge, and Princess Charlotte often break one of The Queen's most important food rules.

Her Majesty is also said to steer clear of foods that contain a high amount of starch, including pasta, rice and potatoes - a rule that Kate chosen to follow too. Former royal chef Darren McGrady said: "The Queen does not care much for pasta and bread and likes to eat meals containing fish or meat and vegetables instead."

While Kate typically follows the rule of avoiding starch-heavy meals, she admitted that her and Princess Charlotte have broken this rule on numerous occasions as they both love pasta. During her visit to Great Ormond Street Hospital in 2018, the Duchess chatted to young Rafael Chana who was waiting for a heart transplant.

Rafael said he liked olives, to which the Duchess replied: "I used to eat lots and lots of olives when I was little as well." The young patient then added that he also likes pasta and Kate replied: "Charlotte likes pasta too."

While visiting Lavender Primary School, Kate also shared that her children love to help their mum out in the kitchen and enjoy getting their hands messy and working together.

Their speciality is cheesy pasta, which they all have designated jobs in making. One stirs the flour, one puts the milk and butter in, Matthew Kleiner-Mann, chief executive of the Ivy Learning Trust, said after a visit to the school in 2019. "She was telling us how much her children love cooking and how they cook for her, he added.
