Royal Family’s strict takeaway rules that Kate and Prince William don’t have to follow

In a recent report dated April 28th, 2024, Matt Spivey delved into the dining habits of Prince William and Kate Middleton, revealing an intriguing detail about their royal privileges when it comes to takeaway food. Unlike many other members of the Royal Family who must collect their takeaway orders from the gates of Buckingham Palace, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge enjoy the convenience of having theirs delivered straight to their doorstep.

According to OK! magazine and confirmed during a 2017 interview on BBC Radio 1’s Scott Mills show, William and Kate enthusiastically embrace the occasional takeaway, with a particular penchant for Indian and Chinese cuisine. Their royal status doesn’t preclude them from indulging in such treats, as they happily disclosed during the broadcast.

During the interview, Kate Middleton divulged that her top choice for takeaway is a curry, while Prince William admitted to preferring milder flavors, stating he’s “not so good with spice.” Their meals, as noted by the Irish Mirror, are managed through arrangements where their orders are picked up and delivered directly to them, ensuring a seamless dining experience within their residence.

In another revealing podcast appearance, this time on BBC Radio 5 Live’s ‘That Peter Crouch Podcast,’ Prince William further elaborated on his culinary preferences. Despite his aversion to spicy dishes, he confessed a occasional enjoyment of chicken masala, clarifying, “I’m not a vindaloo man.”

The contrast in takeaway experiences within the Royal Family was highlighted by Princess Eugenie during an interview on the Table Manners podcast. She shared insights into her own takeaway habits, recounting a recent curry order which is not typical for her. Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, personally undertake the task of collecting their deliveries from Buckingham Palace after notifying the staff, emphasizing the difference in protocol compared to William and Kate’s doorstep delivery privilege.

The culinary preferences of the Royal Family extend beyond William and Kate. It is reported that Queen Camilla favors fish and chips, showcasing a diverse palate within the royal household. Additionally, insights from a former Royal butler hinted at Princess Diana occasionally treating her young sons, William and Harry, to fast food from McDonald’s—a charming anecdote that humanizes the royal upbringing amidst their privileged surroundings.
