Queen Elizabeth Follows a VERY Strict Diet — And It’s As Bizarre As It Can Get

Most royal fans all over the world admire Queen Elizabeth II for her strength and longevity, after all the woman is over 90 and is still fronting the most powerful monarchy in the world. Aside from being the longest reigning Queen in the British Monarchy, the public admires her cleverness and strength.

Her Majesty remains healthy and energetic despite her age so what could be the secret behind her longevity and good health? Royal insiders reveal that the Queen follows a strict spartan diet. What exactly is the spartan diet and why do the royals love it so much? 

The Royal’s Menu

When we think about the royal family, we imagine them feasting on tea, crumpets and Yorkshire pudding. The Royals have an army of the most qualified chefs at their disposal, which means that they can request any dish they want at any time of the day. Doesn’t that sound like the ultimate food dream? But with great power comes great responsibility, especially when it concerns your health.

The sources reveal Queen Elizabeth prefers to eat healthy and simple foods while splurging in her favorite foods once in a while.

Contrary to popular belief that the royals eat the most luxurious many-course meals every day, the powerful family, especially the Queen prefers a rather bland menu. Let us take a peek at the Queen’s diet which keeps her youthful and energetic for her royal duties.

A Simple Yet Tasty Breakfast

According to sources, Her Majesty starts her day by drinking a cup of plain Earl Grey tea without any milk, sugar, or additives. 

Queen Elizabeth loves to sip Earl Grey Tea while munching her breakfast for the day.

So if you’re not a fan of non-flavored teas, you might have a hard time drinking it down due to its bitter and bland taste but since the Queen has been practicing this ritual for many years, she’s already used to it.

The Queen then moves on to her breakfast which either consists of a bowl of cereal with fresh fruits, scrambled eggs topped with smoked salmon, or a toast with marmalade. Thankfully, she also loves to drink coffee with her breakfast for that early morning caffeine kick.

Eating a Challenging Snack

If you think drinking bitter tea is the hard part, wait till you hear what the Queen has for lunch. According to her former butler, the royal matriarch prefers a bland sandwich around noon to replenish her energy levels and indulges in a healthy snack at 5 pm. For her sandwich, she prefers grilled chicken breast sandwiched between two pieces of dry scone and some veggies on the side.

All of her meals are unflavored, and without any sauces or condiments. Furthermore, the Queen sometimes gives her scones to her corgis and only eats the raw vegetable with unseasoned chicken! Alternatively, she may also request for a sandwich made with whole wheat bread, cream cheese, and sliced cucumber.

The Feast At Dinner

Queen Elizabeth hates garlic to the point of banning it from being used in the Buckingham Palace.

After a long day, Queen Elizabeth treats herself to a lavish dinner. While she hates garlic, Her Majesty loves to eat salmon or pork chop with courgettes as part of her main course. Of course, she doesn’t skip on her earl grey tea and if she’s in the mood, she might opt for a dessert as well.
