Discover the unusual way the royals – including Princess Anne, The Queen and Prince William – like to eat their fruit
June 09, 2021 - 17:27 BST Kate Thomas The royal family's eating habits have long been a source of fascination. Known for their sweet teeth, the senior royals often finish a meal with a piece of fruit, with bananas, apples, pineapples, peaches, grapes and pears on the menu for the Queen, Princess Anne and co. – but did you know about the unusual way they eat them?In line with a long-standing tradition, royals aren't allowed to eat food using their hands.

Princess Anne reportedly likes to start her day with a bowl of fruit. She often has a bizarre request for her bananas – preferring them to be out of date. Darren previously told TODAY:"[Princess Anne] almost always preferred the bananas almost black — overripe — because they digest easier."The Princess Royal has the right idea because over-ripe bananas are actually incredibly good for you. High in antioxidants, they help delay cell damage and can boost your immune system.
Meanwhile, if pineapples were on the menu at Buckingham Palace, they would have to be"hollowed out" in order to be sliced and inserted back into the pineapple, before being eaten using cutlery.When Darren was cooking for Princess Diana at Kensington Palace, he observed the Princess of Wales' unusual method for eating one of her favourite fruits – pears. The trick was also picked up by a young Prince William and Prince Harry.
"The purveyor would bring about 200 for us to choose the ripest by hand. [Princess Diana and the boys] would slice off the top and eat it with a teaspoon like a boiled egg!", Darren said.Make sure you never miss a ROYAL story!
