Former royal chef Darren McGrady explained why Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte and Prince George are not allowed to sit at the dinner table with their parents during formal events.
“The queen was served jam pennies in the nursery as a little girl. She’s had them for afternoon tea ever since,” McGrady said.
When the queen would spend time at her summer residence, Balmoral Castle in Scotland, fresh strawberries were picked from the garden and used for the jelly spread. Butter and jam make up the delicacy and are cut into small circles the size of an old British penny. As for scones topped with sweet jelly, the sovereign was also a fan of adding clotted cream.The cook also revealed that even for Christmas, the children will eat with their nannies in the nurseryThe beverage involves mixing one part Pimm’s Gin and two to three parts Sprite or lemonade, as well as lemons, strawberries, mint, cherries, cucumbers and borage .
“Some members of the royal family measure it the other way around, but I’m not saying who they are,” McGrady cheekily joked in regard to the amount of juice-to-gin ratio. Alongside the late royal, McGrady also worked for other members of the family, including Princess Diana, William and his brother Prince Harry when they lived at Kensington Palace.
