Prince William<\/a> may be the future King, but when it comes to desserts<\/a>, he is just like the rest of us as his favourite treat is one that many of us love. The Prince of Wales’ culinary preferences have been shared<\/a> many times over the years by royal aides, his family and himself.<\/p>\n

Recently, he revealed his brownie preferences, saying that his favourite is a chocolate brownie without nuts. And it seems chocolate is a common theme when it comes to desserts for the heir to the throne.<\/p>\n

Former royal chef Darren McGrady spent 15 years cooking inside Palace walls and served the likes of Queen Elizabeth, Diana, Princess of Wales, Prince William<\/a>, and Prince Harry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Heart Bingo<\/a>, he revealed: “When I worked for the [late] Queen, Prince William<\/a> loved dark chocolate and asked for chocolate ice cream.<\/p>\n

“[Elizabeth] would press a button, the page would come, she\u2019d ask for the ice cream, and it triggered a long chain: head chef, pastry chef, silver pantry, glass pantry, linen room. Finally, 20 minutes later, William got his homemade ice cream presented to him.”<\/p>\n

He added: “At Kensington, it was much more relaxed. William would walk into the kitchen and say, ‘Darren, can I have some chocolate ice cream, please?’ I\u2019d say, ‘Help yourself.’<\/p>\n

“He\u2019d grab Haagen-Dazs chocolate chip, that was his favourite, open it, and sit in the windowsill eating it. It was so much more relaxed over at Kensington.”<\/p>\n

William has also previously revealed that he’s not a fan of coffee, always opting for tea to “pep him up.”<\/p>\n

And in 2022, during a visit to Cornwall, he revealed what he eats and drinks on an average day when he filled out a nutrition sheet.<\/p>\n

He said he started his day with two eggs, wholemeal toast with butter, apple juice and a cup of tea with milk and sugar.<\/p>\n

Then he revealed he has a “rubbish sandwich” with a glass of water for lunch and white fish with mushrooms for his evening meal. For snacks, the heir to the throne opted for a banana and a chocolate brownie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William may be the future King, but when it comes to desserts, he is just like the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":454223,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,533,2832,532,152498,152497,152496,10851,10852,8691,10853,2831,7710,519,152499,10858,7711,7712],"class_list":{"0":"post-454222","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-catherine","10":"tag-catherine-middleton","11":"tag-kate-middleton","12":"tag-prince-of-wales","13":"tag-prince-william","14":"tag-prince-william-favourite-dessert","15":"tag-prince-william-favourite-food","16":"tag-prince-william-food","17":"tag-prince-william-latest","18":"tag-prince-william-latest-news","19":"tag-prince-william-news","20":"tag-prince-william-update","21":"tag-princess-of-wales","22":"tag-royal-families","23":"tag-royal-family","24":"tag-royal-food","25":"tag-royal-news","26":"tag-uk-royal-family","27":"tag-william"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115273818743636988","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=454222"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/454222\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/454223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=454222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=454222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=454222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
