Despite having access to the finest food and china in all the land, Queen Elizabeth’s dietary preferences are pretty plain: grilled fish, dark chocolate, vegetables. But, as it turns out, her breakfast may be the simplest of all.
In a new interview with Marie Claire, a former royal chef reveals how the British monarch starts her day: with a bowl of Kellog’s cornflakes. Sometimes the Queen doesn’t even use a bowl—apparently, the chef says, she’ll eat it straight out of a 'plastic yellow Tupperware container.'
There’s a lot to literally and physically digest here. First, there’s the fact that the Queen eats the same breakfast as your grandpa whose been wearing the same khaki pants, since like, 1972. Then there’s the fact that she eats it out of tupperware. Don’t get us wrong, we’ve eaten a-many- sad desk lunches out of Tupperware—but that’s the point! We’re us and she’s, well… Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.
So yes, insert the “royals, they’re just like us!” clause here. But most importantly, this proves that no matter what station in life you rise to, you will never escape plastic container meals, and worse, the dreaded battle of trying to, shudder, find the right lid size. In this world, nothing can be certain—except death, taxes, and Tupperware.
