Queen Elizabeth II, who died on September 8, 2022, was the longest-lived monarch, which is why even though more than a year has passed since her death, people wonder how she reached such an advanced age. According to testimonies from her employees, it was because, in addition to her genetics, she had a healthy diet.
Although the queen indulged in some treats such as a glass of gin and Dubonnet, or a slice of chocolate cake, the reality is that she had a chef who prepared a balanced menu for her weekly. Darren McGrady, the former royal chef, revealed at some point for Hello magazine! What was her majesty’s routine when it came to food.
He explained that he sent him a red leather menu book every week. This was written in French and contained a wide variety of recipes from which Elizabeth II might choose. “We prepare the menus three days in advance so we can get the food,” Darren said.

The choice depended on whether there would be guests at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle. She also avoided starchy foods like pasta and potatoes: “The chefs would choose the menus and she would draw a line under the ones she didn’t want. Sometimes she would draw a line across everything and put something different in, like she was having dinner with Prince Andrew.” , his favorite was Crème Brulee with Sandringham oranges.”
What was Queen Elizabeth II’s lunch and dinner?
He liked to start his day with Earl Gray tea (no milk or sugar) and cookies along with his corgis, according to House and Garden. It was followed by lunch, which was dominated by cereals, yogurt, as well as toast and jam. Additionally, Garren said he was commonly served Dover sole on a bed of wilted spinach.
“Smoked kippers, in a variety of simple variations, have remained the Queen’s favorites ever since: for breakfast, as a savory dish or for a late-night dinner. The Queen also likes smoked haddock as a breakfast dish,” said.

For dinner, the monarch usually included a combination of meat or fish and vegetables. “For a main course he loved game, things like Gaelic steak, steak with whiskey sauce and mushrooms, especially if we made it with venison,” Darren revealed.
“For a first course he loved the Gleneagles pâté, which consists of smoked salmon, trout and mackerel. He loved using ingredients from the farm, so if we had Balmoral salmon from the River Dee he would have it, it was one of his favourites” , he concluded.
