Prince Philip Didn't Like To Eat With The Queen. Here's Why

In contrast to the tastes of his more traditional wife, the royal consort to Queen Elizabeth II liked spicy food, barbecue, and garlic. The late Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, was also rather spicy himself about his food preferences, and was unafraid to let his opinions be known, no matter how incendiary (yes, he really once said, "British women can't cook"!).
Prince Philip was also fond of dining solo, and for good reason. The late Duke didn't always see eye-to-eye with Queen Elizabeth when it came to cooking. Here's why Prince Philip didn't like to eat with the Queen.

[@patolt1628]

@@suzannesewell5072 Well I trust you although I don't know what is kedgeree, some kind of rice with oriental spices maybe? Anyway I was kidding (more or less ...). Seriously it's indeed a matter of culture and the way you were raised. Basically in Latin countries, breakfast is sweet, whatever is the reason, probably because it's energizing before starting a working day. Then the principal meal is lunch and diner is lighter since you are supposed to go to bed shortly after. Consequently, for us, anything savoury just out of bed is a kind of shock just because we are not used to. In England I can live with English breakfast: tea and toasts are delicious but I need to mentally prepare myself, even waking up one hour earlier, in order to enjoy, so to speak, eggs and sausage but I can do it. In Germany they give you delicatessen and cheese and there it's physically impossible for me in the morning, so I drink a cup of coffee (what they call coffee ...) and that's it. In Norway or in some cases in England apparently they serve fish but here it's definitely a red line: should I really try, it would for sure trigger a heart attack. I was mainly reacting to Prince Philip's statement about the fact that" the French don't know how to cook breakfast" because, although he was not known to be a great diplomat, it's a value judgement and that's not fair. We can say the same about foreigners, nobody is right or wrong, there are just different cultures coming from local constraints. Perhaps Norwegians eat fish at breakfast because they had nothing else to eat in the past (nothing grows overthere)...

A true Greek. Making me hungry at this hour when I should be asleep , lol RIP to a cool dude

[@eastbow6053]

hmmmmm i think his Greek side was showing up during dinner time xDDD

[@retroguy9494]

But he didn't have one drop of Greek blood in him. He was Danish and German.

Adding a little garlic or spices to meals definitely enhances the flavours but the trend today to drown them so the actual meal's own tastes are hidden is just downright wastefull of good food. People forget the spices were originally added to cover the tastes of meats gone bad.

[@alicruz4900]

Not only did they not eat together, but they didn't sleep in the same bed or room! What a marriage!

[@carolhewett3756]

Lots of uber wealthy couples have adjoining bedrooms like Trump and Melania and JFK&JBK.

[@earnestlycontendingforthef5332]

They still managed to have four children.....somehow!!!

[@danishortcake4508]

Thats why they were married as long as they were!! If I had to sleep next to a snoring man for 70+ years I don't think I would make it!. 😁😁

It's elementary my dear Danielle. Little ear plugs. I use them when it rains heavily on the roof or the wind becomes gale force. Works a treat every time!

That’s peace he died 😞😞

[@juliegogola4647]

Well, he was Greek, so, maybe his taste had been a bit different than a French or British persons taste was. And, he was KNOWN for saying things that maybe COULD be interpreted as being "ignorant". As for the "snipe bird", I had always that when somebody says they are going "snipe hunting" that it was a made up thing that grown men had told kids when they first had taken them hunting. And, that a "snipe" was a made up animal. Maybe that's just an American thing? They sure had seemed to be a couple who had gotten along REALLY well, BUT, they had been apart a good bit too. I guess that absence make the heart grow fonder.

Yes they did live together. They had separate bedrooms which isn’t uncommon in royal marriages of that era. But they still lived under the same roof.
