We're always fascinated to discover what the royals eat behind closed doors, and now some new information has emerged about the Duchess of Sussex's favourite breakfast.
In the new royal biography Finding Freedom by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, the authors reveal how Meghan starts her days – and it's an extremely healthy morning routine.
Speaking about Meghan's early relationship with Prince Harry, the book reveals: "Their courtship had been a smooth one. They enjoyed a lot of the same activities, such as traveling and fitness, although Meghan, the type of girl to grab a smoothie after a hot yoga or Pilates session, pushed Harry to up his game."

Ooh, that sounds both delicious and nutritious. And there's more…
