Speaking to Marie Claire magazine, McGrady said the Queen used to shun expensive bowls and instead used to eat her cereal out of tupperware containers.

After serving the Quen, McGrady went on to make meals for Princess Diana, who he claims was a spontaneous mom.

"I remember the Princess came into the kitchen one day and said, 'Cancel lunch for the boys I'm taking them out, we're going to McDonald's. And I said, 'Oh my god your royal highness, I can do that, I can do burgers.' And she said, 'No, it's the toy they want’,” he said.

Prince William and Prince Harry are reportedly big fans of fast food chain McDonalds and going out for pizza.

Instead she lived off fish and stuffed vegetables.
