00:00Imagine sitting down for dinner with world leaders, but one wrong bite could leave you
00:06with deadly bad breath.
00:09Why did Queen Elizabeth ban garlic from the entire royal menu?
00:13And what other shocking food rules does the British royal family live by?
00:19Stick around — you're not going to believe these royal eating habits.
00:23First up, the garlic ban.
00:26Queen Elizabeth II hated the smell and taste of garlic so much, she completely banned it
00:33from Buckingham Palace kitchens.
00:35Her former chef, Darren McGrady, revealed the Queen would never have garlic on the menu.
00:41And Queen Camilla later confirmed it on MasterChef Australia.
00:45Garlic is a no-no, because you're talking, chatting.
00:50Think about it.
00:51The royals are constantly meeting presidents, diplomats, and dignitaries face to face.
00:57The last thing you want is garlic breath ruining a serious conversation.
01:02No garlic bread.
01:04No garlic pasta.
01:05Nothing.
01:06Even onions were treated with caution.
01:09But that's just the start of the surprises.
01:12Queen Elizabeth kept breakfast super simple — a bowl of Kellogg's cereal poured straight from
01:19the plastic box, plus a cup of Darjeeling tea.
01:22No fancy stuff.
01:23She also avoided heavy carbs like pasta and bread, sticking mostly to fish or chicken so
01:30she'd have energy for her busy royal day.
01:32Now, King Charles — he's all about zero waste.
01:37Leftovers are never thrown out.
01:39They get turned into the next day's meal.
01:41He skips lunch completely, loves local cheeses, and insists on getting two plums every morning
01:48from his garden — even though he usually only eats one.
01:52Princess Diana once got so tired of salmon being served everywhere because the chefs knew she liked it,
01:58she finally begged, please tell me it's not salmon again.
02:03And get this, Prince William and Kate love pizza nights with George and Charlotte.
02:09The kids get to make messy pizza dough, while William enjoys chicken tikka masala pizza.
02:15Total contrast to Queen Elizabeth, who never once ate pizza during her entire reign.
02:21From no garlic to secret fast food runs, the royals have some seriously surprising
02:28rules and cravings behind those palace doors.
02:31So, which royal food habit shocked you the most?

02:36I read every single one.
