'His solutions are brilliant' - How Erik ten Hag is changing the mentality at Manchester United

the only one with odd food habits.Princess Anne, the monarch’s only daughter and second eldest, reportedly has a surprising food request for palace chefs, according to her former royal footman.Steven Kaye, who worked for the royal family for more than three years, told Slingo the 72-year-old royal prefers to eat very overripe bananas that are almost to the point of being rotten.“Princess Anne was lovely,” Kaye said in a Q&A interview, recounting a “funny story” that happened in the palace kitchen.“Once the chefs had cleaned up in the kitchen, you’d go and get things for breakfast and there would always be a bunch of bananas literally on the side that were black, they were left to rot, they were never put away in the fridge,” he said.“I remember asking who they were for and it turns out the princess royal only eats black bananas — the royal chef had strict instructions to serve them overripe,” Kaye added.Princess Anne’s mother also has some delightfully shocking eating preferences and has even eaten the same meal every day since she was a child.Her former chef, Darren McGrady, revealed in a video that the 96-year-old monarch always eats jam sandwiches during afternoon tea time. The sovereign has munched on the finger sandwiches since she was a girl and she is also a big lover of gin-based drinks.Elsewhere in the Slingo interview, Kaye spilled some tea about his experiences working with the royal family, a position he got after personally writing a letter to the queen asking for a job.He described one moment when he had to handle Her Majesty’s infamous corgis, namely her dog Emma which many people tried to avoid at all costs since she’s an ankle biter.“There was one corgi called Emma that stood out.

My girl Serena’s from there,” she continued.On the heels of her recent retirement announcement, the 40-year-old tennis star laughed at the mix-up, saying she’s “so proud” to be from Compton, and shared that there are other well-known celebrities from Compton, including Kevin Costner.“Oh my gosh, that’s wild,” the “Suits” star responded.“He even talks about it — isn’t it fascinating?” said Williams.Markle clarified that she did grow up in the Los Angeles area, but “I can’t claim Compton,” she said.The two mainly discussed their thoughts around ambition — particularly being ambitious women, which was the main theme of the episode.Markle also shared a wild story about how her son Archie’s bedroom caught fire while they were in the middle of a royal engagement during their 2019 South Africa tour.
