Queen Camilla likely has sampled some of the finest cuisine in the world, however some of her favourite meals are super simple and affordable.
In conversation with Tom Parker Bowles – a food writer, food critic and Camilla’s own son – for You Magazine, the royal shared her relatable foodie habits.
Despite her extraordinarily busy schedule, Queen Camilla spends a fair amount of time in the kitchen.
She told You Magazine all about her favourite things to cook, and it seems the Queen puts nutrition and ease first.
Camilla revealed: “I do still cook for myself when at home. Simple things like fish en papillote with butter and herbs.

“And vegetables from the garden: kale, purple sprouting broccoli, carrots, courgettes, and lots of peas and beans because they freeze so well.”
She shared her pride and glory: “I love the vegetable garden, and summer in particular. I’m very proud of my white peaches.
“My husband is an excellent gardener, and we’re quite competitive about our fruit and vegetables.”

Growing her own vegetables isn’t something Camilla has gotten into recently as a hobby – she grew up doing it.
She shared that when she was a little girl her family “grew everything from tomatoes and melons to peas, beans, carrots and new potatoes”.
Indeed, she recalled one of her earliest memories: podding peas and beans with her mum, Rosalind Shand.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis share this similarity with their step-granny Queen Camilla, as they grow vegetables at home too with their mum and dad Kate, Princess of Wales and Prince William.
Kate revealed that Prince Louis is a particulalry big fan of one vegetable – and it’s not peas or carrots.
Despite making a mean fish en papillote and being proud of her peaches, Camilla confessed to having some “kitchen disasters” – she “could fill a book”.
She revealed that she is “not a natural baker, to say the least”, plus she is responsible for many a “poor, incinerated” baked potato.
