The Queen has a strict no pasta rule that is regularly broken by her great granddaughter, Princess Charlotte.
- The Queen is not a fan of pasta, potatoes and starchy foods, according to her former royal chef, while Princess Charlotte loves it.
- Even if The Queen lifts her 'no starch' rule at royal dinners, no tomato sauce-based items will ever be seen on a royal menu.
- In other royal news, Kate Middleton's Buckingham Palace garden party dress had fans all saying the same thing.
Princess Charlotte may only be seven years old, but being a member of the royal family, we're sure she's already had some of the world's finest cuisines.
However, the little princess, who is fourth in the royal line of succession, is partial to slightly simpler dishes, including olives and cheese sauce.
Charlotte is known for being total opposite to the Queen, who famously has a no pasta rule, with Kate Middleton confirming her daughter is a pasta fiend.
Her Majesty is known to avoid starchy meals like pasta, rice, and potatoes, which The Cambridges typically enjoy during meal times.
The royals also avoid rare meat, especially when travelling, to prevent them falling ill and putting the line of succession at risk. Shellfish is next on the list. Eating shellfish, like rare meat, carries a number of health hazards, and the royals are advised to avoid it.
Darren McGrady, a former royal chef, explained, "The Queen does not care much for pasta and bread and likes to eat meals containing fish or meat and vegetables instead."

Rafael mentioned that he loves olives, with the Duchess replying, "I used to eat lots and lots of olives when I was little as well."
Rafael then mentioned that he likes pasta, to which Kate responded, "Charlotte likes pasta too."
