00:00 Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte, and Prince George are reportedly not allowed to eat with their parents,
00:05 Kate Middleton and Prince William, during holidays and official dinners.
00:09 Former royal chef Darren McGrady, who worked for both the late Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana,
00:22 told Harper's Bazaar that the royal children cannot eat with their parents at official dinners or during holidays,
00:27 according to Mirror, with the chef revealing that the rule stems from the importance of learning "polite conversation".
00:33 According to McGrady, the prince and princess of Wales's three children
00:45 aren't allowed to sit with the adults until they have learned the art of polite conversation.
00:55 He also noted that there were never any exceptions, including for larger holidays like Christmas.
01:01 Rather, McGrady said that the three children would eat with their nannies in the nursery.
01:12 "The children always ate in the nursery until they were old enough to conduct themselves
01:22 properly at the dining table," he said.
01:26 The former royal chef also dived into the importance of the young royal's nannies,
01:37 as it was their job to "educate" their palates.
01:40 The royal nursery wasn't just for educating the minds of the young royals but educating their
01:51 palates, too, McGrady said.
01:53 Nanny always had control of the menu and made sure they ate balanced meals that included not
02:04 only lots of healthy vegetables but introduced them to new grown-up dishes too, he added.
02:09 Although, getting Prince William and Prince Harry to eat their vegetables was no easy task,
02:20 the chef said.
02:21 He said the two were bribed into eating vegetables during royal meal times, and if that didn't work,
02:34 he would disguise vegetables in the young royals' meals by hiding it in their favorite foods.
02:38 According to McGrady, despite the efforts to get the royals to eat their greens,
02:50 it didn't stop Diana from taking her two sons out to McDonald's occasionally as a treat.
02:55 Previously, the former royal chef, who served Queen Elizabeth for 15 years,
03:06 also revealed some key aspects of her diet.
03:15 For example, she never ate any starchy foods, including pasta or potatoes.
03:20 The only exception was if it was for a state dinner.
03:23 On a regular basis, she'd be served two vegetables alongside her main protein,
03:34 which was normally grilled fish or chicken.
03:42 Another favorite of hers was a big salad or fresh fruit.
03:46 The late monarch even had a very specific way she would eat bananas.
03:50 "With a banana, she'll cut off the bottoms and cut the banana lengthwise,
04:00 and then cut the banana into tiny slices to eat with a fork," McGrady told Recipes Plus.
04:05 As for sweets, the late royal had an obsession with chocolate biscuit cake,
04:16 to the point of the dessert traveling across the globe with her.
04:19 McGrady said if Elizabeth was going to Windsor Castle and there was uneaten chocolate cake
04:31 left over, a senior chef would travel on a train to deliver it to her.
04:40 "Now the chocolate biscuit cake is the only cake that goes back again and again
04:45 and again every day until it's all gone," McGrady said.
04:48 "She'll take a small slice every day until eventually there is only one tiny piece,
05:00 but you have to send that up, she wants to finish the whole of that cake."
