This is why Meghan Markle can’t eat her favourite dish at Buckingham Palace
MEGHAN Markle has experienced many changes since joining the royal family, and now her favourite food has been banned too.
The Queen is said to have barred the Suits actress’s preferred meal at Buckingham Palace.
Royal chef Darren McGrady revealed that Her Majesty has banned pasta, rice and potatoes from the royal menu.
The decision was one undertaken for personal reasons, as she prefers to stay away from carb-loaded foods like pasta.
Meanwhile rice and potatoes have never even featured on the Buckingham Palace menu, according to the expert.
This is no doubt sad for Meghan Markle who previously revealed to Delish.com that her go-to dish is pasta with slow-cooked courgette, and went as far as to describe it as "filthy, sexy mush."
She is also a fan of whipping up her own pasta recipes in the kitchen, and creates her courgette masterpiece by slow-cooking the veg for four hours, before turning it into a butter-laden dish.
Chef Darren also revealed that garlic is banned, along with some other unusual choices.
He said to : "We can never serve anything with garlic or too much onions. The Queen would never have garlic on the menu.
“We also couldn’t serve meat that was rare, as [Queen Elizabeth] liked her meat more well done.”
And when it comes to snacks, the Queen is a huge fan of the humble banana – but she has to eat it bizarrely with a knife and fork.
Darren added: “She’ll cut off the bottoms and cut the banana lengthwise, and then cut the banana into tiny slices to eat with a fork.”
Historically, the Royal family are also forbidden from ordering SHELLFISH when they eat out, according to various sources.

More on Meghan Markle
No member of the royal family will give you an autograph as royal protocol bans them from scribbling their signature for other people.
When the royal family members are in the same house or castle, often it’ll be down to the Queen to determine when the night is over.
Meanwhile, this woman transforms herself into the Duchess – using only make-up.
And this is why Meghan always wears shoes which are too big for her.
