Prince George’s sophisticated favourite meal revealed – after Kate Middleton says Princess Charlotte ‘loves olives’
MANY 11-year-old kids would probably reach for nuggets and chips or pizza if given the choice.
However, Prince George is said to have a much more refined palette when it comes to his sophisticated favourite meal.
The future king is said to love Italian food, according to celebrity chef Aldo Zilli, but pepperoni pizza isn’t his top choice.
Aldo claims to have spoken to Prince William on a number of occasions, and he confirmed that George’s favourite dish is spaghetti carbonara.
The famous chef told Femail: “[William’s] amazing – I’m waiting for the call because apparently, his little boy’s favourite is spaghetti carbonara, so I’m waiting for the call to go and cook it for him.
“If George has my carbonara, he will never have another one, so I need to go and make it, let’s get the ball rolling, send me to the palace to cook!”
Royal correspondent Rebecca English previously tweeted that Kate encourages Prince George to cook with her and they often make pasta.
She wrote: “They made cheesy pasta together the other day!”
Prince George isn’t the only Wales child with a mature palette.
While visiting Lavender Primary School in Enfield on behalf of her mental health patronage Place2Be, Kate revealed her daughter’s all-time favourite snack – and let’s just say, it’s fit for a princess.
While chatting about the salads she makes at home, Kate told pupils that her middle child shares her love of olives.
Meanwhile, Kate previously revealed that little Prince Louis loves beetroots too.
During the filming of Mary Berry‘s Christmas special in 2019, the royal mum-of-three said: “We’ve got carrots, beans, beetroot – a massive favourite.
“Louis absolutely loves beetroots.”
Fabulous revealed that the royal kids have their own designated vegetable patches at their Norfolk home Anmer Hall and had been getting “competitive” over who could grow the most.
Posh school meals
Perhaps it is no surprise that the Wales kids have refined tastes when it comes to their food preferences, given the menus they have been used to at school.
When George and Charlotte attended Thomas’s, Battersea, they were used to eating meals such as vegetable and bean jambalaya, Spanish omelette and a Mexican rice wrap, as well as cheddar and caramelised red onion quiche served with new potatoes, according to MyLondon.
Bear Grylls food dare
Despite being lucky with the food available to him, Prince George has been challenged to try a rather surprisingly ‘snack’ by Bear Grylls.
The adventurer appeared on Good Morning Britain a few years ago and spoke about meeting the young royal.
He said: “We were chatting and just as we were chatting a stream of ants went across his feet.
“He looked at me with those amazing little wide eyes and I said, ‘come on, we’ve got to eat one!’
“He said, ‘Really?!’ And then he ate one.”
Bear added that it was a “privilege to give the future King his first ant”, and described the royal as a “hero”.
Explaining the taste of ants, Bear said: “They’re a little zingy but that’s a formic acid in the stomach and it’s all Vitamin C so it’s ok.”
What it is like being a chef for the royal family
COOKING for royalty means that everything has to be perfect as former royal chef Darren McGrady well knows.
Darren, who worked for the royals for 15 years and cooked at Buckingham Palace, Sandringham and Balmoral, has revealed that when it came to banqueting events he had to prepare no less than 150 plates of food for the late Queen.
Speaking to Coffee Friend, Chef McGrady said: “There were no food tasters, no.
“Some Royals had their food prepared separately away from guests at big banquet events.
“However, with the Queen, we would prepare 150 plates and the Queen’s page would come in and pick one at random.
“That way, if you were to tamper with the food you would have to tamper with all of them.
“From our perspective, it also meant we had to get the same standard across every plate, not knowing which one the Queen would be eating.”
