Royal Culinary Secrets: Meghan Markle Reveals Prince Harry's Food Preferences on With Love, Meghan
Meghan Markle playfully revealed on her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, that her husband, Prince Harry, is not a fan of lobster. In a conversation with Chef José Andrés, Meghan shared this interesting tidbit about Prince Harry's food preferences. The royal family's avoidance of shellfish, including lobster, is a common practice due to health concerns, especially during public events or tours. This culinary restriction is a sensible precaution to prevent shellfish poisoning.
Similarly, Queen Camilla disclosed her dislike for garlic during a 2018 appearance on MasterChef Australia. She explained that garlic is off-limits for royals because it can affect their ability to engage in conversation without causing bad breath. While some royals may occasionally break culinary rules, there are certain ingredients that remain strictly forbidden. King Charles, for instance, has banned foie gras from all royal residences due to the unethical practices involved in its production.
Despite Prince Harry's aversion to lobster, Meghan has plenty of other delicious treats to offer him in the new season of With Love, Meghan. Season 2 features the Duchess of Sussex showcasing her cooking, crafting, and entertaining skills with celebrity guests like Chrissy Teigen and Tan France, as well as renowned chefs such as David Chang, Samin Nosrat, Christina Tosi, and Clare Smyth. Meghan expressed her excitement about the diverse lineup of guests on the show during the TIME100 Summit in April. The new episodes are now available for streaming on Netflix.
