Her Majesty was still very athletic for her age and oozed vigor, despite a few health setbacks in recent months. She was having an age-defying daily menu.
At Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, the Queen employs a team of talented chefs who prepare her diet meals and feasts. Her former royal chef, said that every week, a red leather-bound book of menus offering a wide range of recipes would be sent up to the Queen in French. Let’s examine her everyday diet.
Favorite breakfast
The Queen begins her day with an Earl Grey tea without milk or sugar, some biscuits, and her corgis. She then has her main meal in her private dining room at Buckingham Palace; the mother-of-four is reputed to prefer cereal, yoghurt, toast, and marmalade.
The cooks would choose the menus, and she would mark the items she didn’t want on them with a line. Sometimes, he said, “she’d draw a line through it all and put something different, like if she was having dinner with Prince Andrew.
Lunch for the Queen?
HRH is said to like a platter of fish and vegetables for lunch quite frequently. Dover fish on a bed of wilted spinach would be Darren’s regular meal, he told House and Garden.
When dining alone, the king is rumored to stay away from starchy foods like spaghetti and potatoes.
Food served at afternoon tea?
We like to picture ourselves as Her Majesty was enjoying afternoon tea while sipping Earl Grey and munching on finger sandwiches and scones. Did you know she does that every day, though?
The monarch like ginger cake and chocolate biscuit cake, and her favorite sandwiches are cucumber, egg, and smoked salmon.
Queen’s dinner menu

According to The Independent, the Queen enjoys white peaches grown at Windsor Castle and strawberries from Balmoral for dessert. Additionally, she enjoys chocolate.
Her favorite beverages
We do know that Her Majesty appreciated a nice cup of tea, and gin! Grant Harrold, the royal butler, once discussed the Queen’s favorite tea in the 2018 episode of the comedy Miss Holland on BBC Three.
She engaged in “senseful exercise.”
The Queen did not bother with rigorous workouts, preferring “sensible activity” like strolling her corgis and riding horses. The Queen is said to have slept well and to have never smoked.
End of the era
According to Buckingham Palace, Queen Elizabeth II passed away peacefully in her sleep on Thursday at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. After taking the throne from her father in 1952, she served as the queen for the longest period in British history and was the oldest head of state in the entire world.
