The Queen NEVER reveals her favourite meal to avoid getting served it constantly, claims royal expert

IT’S pretty difficult for the Queen to keep any part of her life private.

But she has managed to stay quiet on one thing – her favourite meal.

Despite the fact that she’s been hosted for dinner on several continents, the 93-year-old monarch has never divulged her preferred type of food.

And according to the , there’s a clever reason why.

Former royal correspondent Gordon Rayner says he discovered this fact from an aide, after covering more than 20 royal tours.

He explains: “As one of her staff told me: ‘If she said she had a favourite meal she would never get served anything else.'”

Despite her main course of choice remaining a secret, we do know the Queen’s taste in dessert.

One of her former personal chefs previously revealed that she loves chocolate biscuit cake – so much so that she takes it with her when she travels across the country.

Darren McGrady – author of Eating Royally – told baking website : “Now the chocolate biscuit cake is the only cake that goes back again and again and again every day until it’s all gone.

“She’ll take a small slice every day until eventually there is only one tiny piece, but you have to send that up, she wants to finish the whole of that cake.”

Darren adds that the Queen loves the pudding so much, she’ll notice if a slice is missing.

And if there’s any left over when she travels back to Windsor Castle, her senior chef follows on a train with it in tow.

She also enjoys Dundee cake, a traditional Scottish fruit cake.

According to , “even if she’s on a flight at tea time, out will come a cuppa, a Dundee cake, and some scones and clotted cream.”

In more royal news, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle “wanted to appear friendly” at Wimbledon as Kate attempted to include Meghan “for the first time since she married Prince Harry”.

Princess Charlotte was spotted carrying a £6 Beanie Baby unicorn purse at the polo last week.

And Meghan had Idris Elba play “bare tunes” like Whitney Houston at her royal wedding.
