Kate, who is married to Prince William, has made a key diet change – as she and her daughter both defy the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Speaking to the royal, four-year-old Rafael Chana told Kate that he enjoyed olives, and she replied that she loved them too as a child. Kate said: “I used to eat lots and lots of olives when I was little as well.”

The Queen was known to avoid revealing her favourite food, as she didn’t want it to be served at every occasion. She preferred variety.
The Queen’s former chef, Darren McGrady, has drawn back the curtain and revealed Her Majesty’s private dining habits, having previously spoken about her preferred drinks.
He explained: “She’d always have afternoon tea wherever she was in the world. We’d flown out to Australia and were on the Royal Yacht. It was five o’clock in the morning but for the Queen it was five in the afternoon so my first job was making scones.”
McGrady says while the Queen never directly said she didn’t enjoy a meal, she would leave a message in a notebook for the staff. “She had a little book on her desk and she would just put a note in there saying ‘I don’t want this again’ or something like that,” he explains.
he Queen apparently has a particular love for Morecambe Bay potted shrimp on toast. In a Q&A video, McGrady said: “They’re cooked and marinated in this secret spicy butter. And then the Queen would have them with warm toast, and when you spread them on the warm toast, the butter melts.”
“She is absolutely a chocoholic,” McGrady told Hello! magazine in 2016. “Anything we put on the menu that had chocolate on, she would choose, especially chocolate perfection pie [a layered chocolate pie with white and dark chocolate and chocolate shavings].”
