Isn't pizza great? So great that YouGov actually crowned it the fourth most popular takeaway dish in the UK last year.
It's hard to imagine the royal family enjoying such a simple thing as pizza. With personal chefs at their disposal and access to some of the world's most exclusive restaurants, we simply can't picture the likes of King Charles, Prince William and Queen Consort Camilla finding joy in a greasy cheese-laden dish like pizza - but they do.

Princess Kate even raised some serious eyebrows when she revealed her controversial pizza topping of choice - hint, it's not pineapple.
Back in 2019, the Princess of Wales was all smiles to join a group of children in a pizza-making session at Islington's Community Garden. Getting stuck into kneading dough, the royal mother-of-three was asked if the Queen eats pizza.

"That is such a good question," Kate replied. "I don't know… maybe next time I see her I should ask."
Sadly, royal fans never did learn whether the late monarch was mad for a margherita, though we do know she enjoyed the occasional kebab.

The Princess then told the children that her favourite pizza topping was actually bacon. Surprisingly, the royal finds pepperoni, the nation's favourite topping, to be a spicy meat.
“Does anyone ever put bacon on a pizza? Bacon’s great," she tells the kids in a video from the event. "Do you not think that sounds good? I quite like that actually…It’s like having pepperoni but it’s not as spicy."

Naturally, this revelation about Kate's pizza topping preferences caused uproar amongst royal fans who were baffled by her belief that pepperoni was "spicy".
"Just found out Kate Middleton thinks pepperoni is spicy and it ruined my afternoon??" tweeted one horrified Twitter user at the time. "Are there more of you out there who truly believe this???"

The royal's comment is made even more surprising considering her love for spicy foods. Princess Kate even shamed her husband Prince William for his lack of ability to "handle" her spicy homemade curries.
So, what do you think? Is pepperoni a spicy meat?
