Princess Anne's unusual eating habits have left fans of the Royal Family shocked. The Princess Royal, who is King Charles' sister, prefers her meals packed with healthy ingredients and nutrients, and she doesn't go for the fancy spreads you might expect from a royal.
She also has a very specific way she likes to start her day. Former Royal chef Darren McGrady shared with TODAY that Princess Anne enjoys fruit for breakfast and likes her bananas so ripe, they're almost going off. "Princess Anne almost always preferred the bananas almost black overripe because they digested easier," he revealed.
Darren also mentioned that Anne doesn't eat her bananas by hand but, like her relatives, chooses to use cutlery whenever possible. "First, the ends of the banana are cut off," he explained. "Then the banana peel is sliced down the middle from end to end so the unpeeled fruit can be opened.The fruit is sliced into circles and eaten with a fork." Just like her brother, Anne – who recently explained why royal life is far more tough for Kate Middleton than it was for her – often skips lunch and instead opts to snack on fruit throughout the day.
Her daughter, Zara Tindall, once shared: "She always has a kiwi fruit." And it's not just her five-a-day Anne enjoys – she's also a big fan of kippers and even wrote a letter to Fortune Kippers in Whitby, North Yorkshire, expressing how much she loves their products.
