When you think about Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, the last thing that comes to mind is dietary restrictions, right? But here's a twist—these sisters-in-law, who seem to have everything, can't indulge in one of the most beloved ingredients in the culinary world: garlic. Yep, that's right. During a recent chat, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, revealed the royal family’s surprising rule about garlic.
In an informal conversation with MasterChef Australia judge Gary Mehigan, Camilla, 70, opened up about the monarchy's culinary no-nos. “Now, I hate to break it to you, but garlic is a strict no-go in royal circles,” she shared with a chuckle. “You’ve got to steer clear of it. Why? Because, let’s face it, nobody wants a royal burp, and garlic can be a real culprit when it comes to bad breath!”

Let’s rewind a bit. Queen Elizabeth herself isn’t a fan of garlic, and she’s made sure it doesn’t make an appearance on the dinner table at Buckingham Palace. Former royal chef Darren McGrady spilled the beans to RecipesPlus, saying, “We could never serve anything with garlic or too much onion. And rare meat? Forget about it. Her Majesty prefers her meat well done.”
John Higgins, another former royal chef, echoed this sentiment in an interview with the National Post. He joked, “The Queen is an incredible person, and the royal family is fantastic, but they’re missing out on garlic. You just don’t cook with it at Buckingham Palace. I guess it’s all about avoiding that unexpected royal burp!”
More Royal Food Rules You Won’t Believe
But here’s the thing—garlic isn’t the only food the royals are discouraged from eating. When they’re traveling, Kate, Prince William, Meghan, Prince Harry, Camilla, and Prince Charles are strictly forbidden from indulging in shellfish or raw meat. The reason? To avoid any chance of food poisoning. Tap water is also off the table for the same reason. Can you imagine having to think twice before ordering a glass of water?
And if you’re picturing Buckingham Palace dinner menus filled with pasta dishes, think again. Pasta as a main course is reserved for special occasions and holidays. As for side dishes? Potatoes and rice are reportedly absent from the royal table. Fascinating, isn’t it? These rules give us a glimpse into the meticulous planning that goes into maintaining the royal image.
