Princess Anne has an acquired palette and there is a secret which she uses to still look so radiant at 71. The Princess Royal is notoriously private about her personal life despite being one of the most active royals when it comes to public engagements. For the past couple of years, Anne has done the greatest number of royal engagements, more so than even Prince Charles, the future King.
Anne reportedly has never been one for decadence or indulgence when it comes to mealtimes and has even been known to serve her dinner guests pork pies or “anything by Fray Bentos,” a supermarket brand of tinned meat.
The Princess royal explained: “After all, one wants everyone out of the house by 9.15pm at the latest.
“For pudding, I pass them a choc ice to eat in the car.”
Princess Anne reportedly likes to start her day with a bowl of fruit, kickstarting her metabolism with a naturally sugary kick.

However, the way she likes to eat her bananas might make fans’ stomachs churn.
It has been reported the Queen’s daughter often has a bizarre request for her bananas – preferring them to be out of date.
Former royal chef Darren McGrady previously told TODAY: “[Princess Anne] almost always preferred the bananas almost black – overripe – because they digest easier.”

Although very little is known about the Princess’ regular eating habits, Anne has been known to enjoy kippers, a form of smoked herring.
The salty fish is most commonly eaten at breakfast with eggs but makes a delicious lunch alternative when served in a salad or paired with buttery new potatoes.
The royal’s fondness for kippers was revealed by a complimentary letter she previously sent to Fortune Kippers, a 140-year-old company based in Whitby, Yorkshire.
Given Anne’s sweet tooth and close relationship with her mother, it is also likely the royal shares a fondness for afternoon tea, which the Queen is said to enjoy every day.
Darren previously revealed the monarch loves chocolate biscuit cake and ginger cake, and her favourite sandwiches are cucumber, egg and smoked salmon.
In light of her 70th birthday in 2020, Princess Anne guest-edited an edition of Country Life magazine, of which her contributions revealed her favourite dish, which was very luxurious.
Anne told readers that devilled pheasant was her go-to supper, brought to life by Executive Chef of the Ritz, John Williams.
John told Country Life: “Basically, a couple of whole pheasants are poached, then taken off the bone, shredded and kept warm in the poaching juices.
“You just add freshly whipped cream, left in the fridge for an hour to stiffen, mixed with a good amount of Green Label mango chutney.”
