The Queen, Camilla Parker-Bowles, Meghan Markle and more royals love afternoon tea. See the surprising and decadent foods the royals eat…
September 08, 2020 - 15:56 BST Nichola Murphy Afternoon tea is a staple in the royal households, but like everyone, the likes of the Queen, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton all have their own individual preferences.
Former royal chef Darren McGrady has previously said that the Queen's favourite finger sandwiches are cucumber, egg and smoked salmon – all with the crusts cut off, of course. Not forgetting the sweet treats, the 94-year-old loves ginger cake and chocolate biscuit cake, the latter of which even travels with the Queen. Darren told HELLO!:"The royal chefs send a whole cake up to Her Majesty every day for tea.
"The chocolate biscuit cake is the only cake that goes up to the royal table every day until it has all gone – sometimes this means it following her to Windsor Castle for the weekend," Darren said. The Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke of Cambridge also have a soft spot for the decadent recipe – so much so that Prince William requested it at his royal wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011.
We like to think Charles and Camilla occasionally swap their scones for Welsh cakes, after the official Clarence House Instagram page recently released a recipe from The Village Bakery in Wrexham. The recipe stated the sweet treats are traditionally served warm with butter or clotted cream and jam. Prince Philip The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh's favourite tea choices may change throughout the year, as Her Majesty is known to enjoy seasonal foods.
But what would Kate and Prince William choose to eat? All was revealed back in 2019, when the royal couple stopped for a bite to eat at the picturesque Inn on the Lake in Ullswater in the Lake District. A full afternoon tea at the hotel includes freshly prepared finger sandwiches: honey and orange roasted gammon & Hawkshead piccalilli, Appleby Creamery cheddar cheese & sweet pickle, egg & chive mayonnaise, cucumber & crème fraîche with black pepper.
