The handbag is as much a part of the Queen’s outfit as the matching hat. But what does the British Queen actually carry with her that is so important? For example, snacks for in between, reveals her German chef.
The Queen’s cook, Royal Chef Stefan Pappert, also supplies Queen Elizabeth II with biscuits. “If she has to go to London, a little something is packed. We have a few cookies in our handbag. She has juice and water with her,” said the native of Fulda. It is important to “keep supplying her with calories”.
The 44-year-old German not only takes care of the physical well-being of the Queen, but also that of her house guests, for example at Windsor Castle. The queen does not have a favorite meal “in that sense,” reveals Pappert, who has been cooking for the royals since 2017. “The Queen normally eats what anyone else would eat.” However, the eating habits of the 96-year-old monarch have changed somewhat in recent years. “We made the food a little saltier simply because the taste diminishes with age.” In addition, there are no more “giant plates”.
Pappert and his team have been preparing for the Queen’s 70th Jubilee celebrations for months. Numerous relatives and well-wishers are expected from June 2nd to 5th.
