Former royal chef reveals Queen Elizabeth II's diet was simple, often fish and veggies, avoiding carbs.

Former chef Darren McGrady revealed that Queen Elizabeth II maintained a disciplined and simple diet, often eating poached or grilled fish with vegetables and avoiding carbs when dining alone. McGrady, who served her from 1982 to 1993, noted her preference for dishes like salmon fishcakes and scrambled eggs on toast. Her son-in-law, Tom Parker Bowles, echoed this in his book, 'Cooking & The Crown,' which features over 100 royal recipes. Despite access to lavish meals, the Queen favored simplicity, which contributed to her health and longevity.
