Princess Anne's diary has been full all year of royal engagements meaning she keeps on top of her health with a balanced diet and exercise routine.
Many treat Christmas as a time to indulge in glorious home-cooked fare and if the likes of King Charles and Prince William's choice of roast turkey and plenty of stuffing is anything to go by, the royals are no different.

Get the lowdown on Princess Anne's Christmas menu in all its health-conscious glory…
Breakfast
Mornings for Princess Anne are all about kicking her metabolism into gear so she reportedly eats a healthy sweet snack that many of us couldn't stomach.

Lunch
Though a full roast is the chosen dish for the Prince and Princess of Wales, Anne is known to enjoy kippers.

Dinner
If Anne has any space for a second meal on Christmas Day it will likely be an afternoon tea as per King Charles' daily tradition or the incredible cheese board which Darren McGrady has said is "even more elaborate" than lunch.
