Those royals are just like the rest of us when it comes to eating between meals – they're rather partial to the odd sweet or salty snack. We like to imagine Her Majesty the Queen or the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tucking into a Kit Kat or bag of crisps as us normal folk do. The royal family have revealed their favourite foods several times over the years, giving us an insight into their lives behind palace walls. Want to know exactly what the regal clan's snacks of choice are? All is revealed below…

Prince Harry snacks on… Nanaimo bars
Former royal chef Darren McGrady has previously revealed one of Prince Harry's favourite sweet treats – Nanaimo bars. The sweet treat is made in a Canadian city of the same name and features a coconut base, custard filling and a chocolate topping. Yum!

During her royal tour of Australia with Prince Harry in 2018, Meghan gave some of her homemade banana bread to her hosts at a farm in Dubbo, near Sydney. The royal had baked a chocolate chip and ginger banana bread in Admiralty House, which was said to be "delicious".

He said: "It's like any mum with a son or grandson coming home. If Prince William was coming for tea it would be a chocolate biscuit cake. He loved those," he said. In fact, the Duke is such a fan of the cake, he and Catherine requested it as his wedding cake in 2011.
