It has long been rumoured that Harry and his family avoid certain seafood dishes due to the risk of food poisoning, a myth that was debunked by royal chef Darren McGrady in a post to X.
Darren shared a photo of a royal menu dating back to 1989, indicating that Queen Elizabeth II dined on soufflé de homard at Windsor Castle. ‘Homard’ is the French word for lobster. “Proof that the Royal Family DO actually eat shellfish,” he captioned the snap.

“We used a repertoire of dishes,” he said. “It was British and French food. We cooked a lot of traditional French food, like halibut on a bed of spinach with a Mornay sauce. All the menus were in French too. I don’t know how long that dated back to, but even the family dining menu was in French. The Queen speaks fluent French.”
As for Meghan, Harry, and their two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the adorable family likes to keep it simple with bacon and eggs.

“There’s a lot of bacon around here. And then sometimes you don’t have time for all that, and you just put a frozen waffle in the toaster and call it a day. And there’s no shame in that either.”

This comes after the 41-year-old revealed that Netflix had extended its partnership with the production company she shares with Harry.
